Awesome CD! Hard to find in mint condition. Love the movie soundtrack. Amazon had it available and shipped super fast. Good Music It has that mystical quality which matches the theme of the movie. I think the score is great. The movie is one of the best and the sound track likewise. Amazing Album But simply put, this is an amazing, ethereal and haunting album. Not very descriptive I know, so I apologize. Absolutely fantastic. sling blade I LOOKED SO FOWARD TO GETTING IT BECAUSE OF LOVING THE MOVIE SO MUCH. WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE CD, WAS TO ME NOTHING LIKE THE MUSIC IN THE MOVIE. THIS CD SOUND TRACK SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS AN AFTER THOUGHT AFTER THE MOVIE WAS MADE. NOW IM STUCK WITH IT. A reawakening Then I lost it - until last week, in August 2003, when I found it again, and am even more impassioned not only by Lanois' originality and skill, but the brilliant way he crosses and mixes genres. I bought this CD after the film first came out, so taken was I by the extraordinary magic it evoked. Being from Quebec and living in Mexico, I suddenly felt a connection with my homeland - the only part of Canada that, like Mexico, has a patron saint: Jean Batiste, the hero of "The Maker". This CD, like the movie, is wonderful. . . energetic, soulful, tender, and above all, "musical" in the true sense of the word. Linda.
