Excellent Soundtrack and Movie
This soundtrack is for the 1990 Barry Levinson film, not the 2001 sci fi film. The review above is actually for a completely different soundtrack by Kenji Kawai. That being said, it is a very good disk.


Buy it if you can find it!
It was this exquisite piano/flute melody ("Moving Day" on the CD) that grabbed me from what ever I was doing at the time and pulled me in. When this movie first came out, I heard a commercial for it on TV that immediately caught my attention. I later found the soundtrack CD in the budget bin at my local music store and grabbed it. It remains one of my favorite scores to this day. Every track is wonderful. I played "Avalon/Moving Day" again as I wrote this and it still moves me like magic. Do yourself a favor and add this to your collection. .


It is impossible...
I loved the movie, and the music was perfect in its melancholiness, which powerfully reflected the story. It is impossible to not be moved by this soundtrack. Still, the soundtrack is a gem all to its own. Randy Newman continues to amaze.


Music that tells a story
It's some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. This is a great movie, and the soundtrack is arguably better. Tough to find it seems. Get it while you can!.
