Free Music Notes for Orlando: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Went back to the theatre to LISTEN to the movie the next day
Hit: 5 Stars
When the lights came up after "Coming" blew me away I sat there stunned. My friends patiently waited for me as I recovered. The next day I went back to a matinee showing and sat in the almost empty theatre drinking in the sound of this film. The soundtrack is absolutely wonderful! I relive the movie in part when I listen to it. I had a roommate when this movie came out who bought the CD and he fell asleep to it every night for a month. Some of the transitions on the soundtrack are a wee bit abrupt, but no more so than other soundtracks (better in fact than a lot) I've worked "Coming" into my DJ sessions and always get great comments. Well worth owning if you liked the movie.Free Music Review: This soundtrack rocks
Hit: 5 Stars
I admit I bought this CD just for Jamie Somverville's song Coming. Coming just blows me away everytime I hear it. It is not often that you listen to a song that will make you dance and think. The song is full of contradictions. The singer is everything and nothing at the same time. Dying and being born at the same time. This jibes so well with the scene in the movie in which Orlando realizes that he/she is 'The same person but a different sex'. Its almost as if saying we are all really the same its just blind luck which type of body you get born into. The uplifting verse about being free makes this one of my all time favorite songs. We are all hopefully be(Coming) something better.Free Music Review: Beautiful!
Hit: 5 Stars
The score of this movie is more than magical, but the best reason to get it is for "Coming". This song has a "world beat" texture and the great falsetto of Jimmy Somerville adds to the mix. The song is basically having a person who has learned from and survived the past,is revelling in the freedom of the present, and embraces the future with open arms and all the hope and promise it brings. Get this for sure!Free Music Review: Mood-altering art.
Hit: 5 Stars
As unique as the movie, the Orlando soundtrack is just as entertaining. The music is truly different and will take you back to the movie's unusual moments or to your own darkly fantastical world. I can't get tired of it. Each song is very different from the next, forming an excellent evening backdrop or serving as a collection of tunes to boost your creative mood.Free Music Review: Superb
Hit: 5 Stars
Wonderful sound track. Modernistic music that produces a strange, yet highly appropriate background sound to Virginia Woolf's work of historical fiction.
Somerville's clean falsetto voice is appropriate as the Elizabethan castrato and finally as the hovering angel.
One of my favorite CDs.
