Went back to the theatre to LISTEN to the movie the next day

"When the lights came up after "Coming" blew me away I sat there stunned. My friends patiently waited for me as I recovered. The next day I went back to a matinee showing and sat in the almost empty theatre drinking in the sound of this film. The soundtrack is absolutely wonderful! I relive the movie in part when I listen to it. I had a roommate when this movie came out who bought the CD and he fell asleep to it every night for a month. Some of the transitions on the soundtrack are a wee bit abrupt, but no more so than other soundtracks (better in fact than a lot) I've worked "Coming" into my DJ sessions and always get great comments. Well worth owning if you liked the movie."
Beautiful!

"The score of this movie is more than magical, but the best reason to get it is for "Coming". This song has a "world beat" texture and the great falsetto of Jimmy Somerville adds to the mix. The song is basically having a person who has learned from and survived the past,is revelling in the freedom of the present, and embraces the future with open arms and all the hope and promise it brings. Get this for sure!"
This soundtrack rocks

"I admit I bought this CD just for Jamie Somverville's song Coming. Coming just blows me away everytime I hear it. It is not often that you listen to a song that will make you dance and think. The song is full of contradictions. The singer is everything and nothing at the same time. Dying and being born at the same time. This jibes so well with the scene in the movie in which Orlando realizes that he/she is 'The same person but a different sex'. Its almost as if saying we are all really the same its just blind luck which type of body you get born into. The uplifting verse about being free makes this one of my all time favorite songs. We are all hopefully be(Coming) something better."
The song "Coming" is spiritually orgasmic

"I loved the movie, the soundtrack,the whole package (whatever the wrapping paper was).It was all Great! But the Jimmy Sommerville song is so beautiful!! I went and bought some of his other stuff but it wasn"t the same..I wished he would do a Cd with that type of singing!"
