"Title says it all. No doubt, Romeo is bleeding, will truly haunt you long after the cd is finished. The movie is absolutely fascinating and to this day, I have never heard a more appropriate soundtrack to a film."

What a cool album...

"Mark Isham has a gift for capturing, even setting, moods. His pieces evoke feelings and moods. Not quite background music but not quite music you actively listen to, his music allows parts of us to arise, giving us pause to reflect, to wander, to dream. This is the soundtrack for a great movie but the soundtrack stands on its own. It is exploratory and adventurous. There are several jazz/blues numbers on it but there is also some experimental music that is difficult to categorize. It is at once entrancing yet challening. That may sound a bit technical but the one word that describes the whole thing is 'cool', as in the jazz kind of cool.There aren't many like this one to find. That's what makes it so good. If you are looking for some creative and different music, this is a great place to wander."

Absolute tops

"The best score ever written for film noir--which automatically makes it one of the best scores period. It's right there with score for "Alexander Nevsky" as comprising a variety of melodies and songs that express the varying action and emotions of the story. Beuatiful and haunting Miles-like trumpet predominates."
