Free Music Notes for The Big Blue, Vol. 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: BE WARNED: This is Not the US Versions' Soundtrack
Hit: 2 Stars
I LOVE the movie "The Big Blue" and loved the music so much that I made many calls to LA from Georgia before I finally found someone with the Soundtrack. Imagine my dissapointment when I popped in the tape and started listening too.....the wrong music!!! After doing some research I found out that the Soundtrack was the one to the original foreign film. However the soundtrack was completely rewritten from scratch by Bill Conti for the US version. Why the decision was made to not release this version as a soundtrack I'll never understand. I've been looking for it for years and it's just not available. (If anyone knows where I can find it, let me know please!) The foreign film soundtrack is okay, but no where near as mystical and beautiful as Bill Conti's score. I would recommend buying a wonderful "new age" piece of music rather than this foreign film version of The Big Blue Soundtrack.Free Music Review: Great if you want the Eric Serra Soundtrack - NOT if you want the Bill Conti

This soundtrack is fine if you are looking for the Eric Serra Soundtrack - that's the soundtrack to the French Version of the film as well as the new Director's Cut Version (which is the only version available on DVD).
However, if you want the original American Version Soundtrack by Bill Conti from the original American release of the film in the late 80's (which in my humble opinion is WAY better than the Director's cut which gives too much info and takes away from some of the mystique), then you will have to search elsewhere. I do not think there's a way to find it on CD, but YOU CAN FIND it for Download!!! For years it was unavailable, but it's out there now. Just search for "Bill Conti The Big Blue" or "Bill Conti Le Grande Bleu" on yahoo or google and you will find a couple of sites that have Bill Conti's beautiful score! Enjoy!

Hit: 2 Stars
This "soundtrack" is great and it certainly brings back the feel of the fantastic movie when you close your eyes, however it seems the music on this CD was only "inspired" by film. Even on the extended 2CD version, which I bought in France, the main theme is missing! Why? That's why anyone would buy a soundtrack, right! What a rip-off! I am so disappointed that's why I only give it a 2 star rating!Free Music Review: cd

When I got this cd I thought it was the music from the first version and that is the main reason I bought it. Its an ok cd just not my taste in music.Free Music Review: not what I expected
Hit: 1 Stars
I really enjoyed the music to the american version of the movie (I havn't had a chance to see the french version of the movie which I hear is better) and so I was eager to get the film score. Unfortunately I wound up buying this not realizing that the music was different (it is, I have learned, a common mistake). It is really not my taste and from those I have met who made the same mistake, it is not their's either. Luckily for me the store I bought it from took it back.
The funny thing was that at the time you couldn't get the french version of the film in America but it was the only version of the soundtrack you could buy. At least not the french version of the film is available in the US.
