"Good music
But I was looking of one song in particular and it doesnt seem there.
Somebody know's what is the name of the song that some kids sing with one of them playiing the piano, at some point in the movie when they have to wait for transportation. Its sounds like a kind of lullaby..

Morricone's Grasp of the Cinematic Atmosphere

"Ennio Morricone has scored many films whose music continues to haunt long after the film is over (witness "The Mission' as a particular example). He is able to work with the director and the visuals and the script and fine that right ground where the mood is underlined by the music provided. Rarely does Morricone's music draw attention to itself: perhaps during the credits and titles before the story is before us there is space to simply appreciate the beauty of his composition.
In FATELESS, a thoroughly captivating film, Morricone uses the full orchestra - both Morricone and Kalman Strausz conduct the Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the soloists used are Ludovico Fulci and Lisa Gerrard. The references and pieces of classical music that he uses to flavor the background are unfortunately not on this CD and the buyer should be aware of that, but instead what we have are the themes assigned to the characters and the background scoring that adds so immeasurably to the mood of the film. The music is so cine that it makes for a superb CD of yet more of Morricone's gifts. Grady Harp, June 06"
A Perfect accompaniment

"Fateless is a great movie. This music is a perfect accompaniment to the movie. The movie is made by artists who take a Nobel Prize winner book and make it a film worthy of the same. The music by Ennio Morricone on this album is part of that artistic endeavor that makes this film so good. There are three melodies that repeat and echo throughout this score to become recognizable as you listen. The titles of each piece are evocative: The Beginning of The Tragedy; Psychological Destruction; To Return and Remember. They evoke the mood of the movie. But like great accompaniments, it stands on its own too, as a separate work of art. That is how good it is. The only minor carp is that this CD does not include the folk song sung in the film."
