Customer Reviews Beautiful and Chilling all in one wonderful soundtrack Gorgeous music. Most of this soundtrack was beautiful wispy Ireland music that reminds me of lazy sunshine and long grass waving in the wind. Track number 3 is really very chilling to me. . . I can listen to it 5 times in a row and still be frightened by how eerie the woman's vocals sound. I love soundtracks that do that to you. Beautiful James Horner score. I have never been a particular fan of James Horner, but I acknowledge him to be competent enough most of the time. I fell in love with the music to this film when I first saw it in the theatres. So I was a little amazed at how much I loved this score. I bought this CD more specifically for the musical score, since the majority of the soundtrack was written by Horner anyway (though the song "God Be With You", was very good as well). Composer (and Oscar winner) Horner did a wonderful job creating a lilting and melodic Irish sound for this soundtrack. All the music supports the drama of the film masterfully, yet stands alone on its own merits. I find myself listening to this soundtrack a lot. It is a favorite in my (rather substantial) soundtrack collection. Many soundtracks predomantly feature the score (instrumental music), and don't always include other incidental popular songs that were in the film. I was not disappointed that the producers of this CD chose to cram this CD full of Horner's music. It is a beautiful score. Highly recommended. A Formula That Works II As with "Patriot Games", I am struck by the similarities of all of the Horner compositions I've reviewed. When I discovered that "Devil's Own" and the soundtrack came out in 1997, it struck me that "Titanic" was relesed that same year. Track 6, "Launching the Boat" and Track 8, "The Pool Hall" hae the flavor of lively Irish dances, reminiscent of Gaelic Storm's work on "Titanic". But there are differences. Eric Rigler's Uillean bagpipes, which made an abundance of appearances on "Braveheart" and "Titanic", make only about two cameos here. Neither is the wood flute as dominant as it has been, although the upping of the tension level in "Rory's Arrest" harkens back to "Legends of the Fall", as once again we hear and see in our minds Brad Pitt demonstrating his flair for playing boisterous, impulsive young lads. But I'm not complaining, since I love the sounds of Scotland and the Emerald Isle, and you have to admit that Horner has accomplished a lot in the last ten years with this kind of sound. .
