Product Description

As music, the sounds here feel as if they are inextricably tied to the images on screen. This is not a criticism, but the opposite. The selections here evoke a landscape that is profound, moving and deeply sorrowful in places. Certainly some titles like Rupert Gregson-Williams' "Interhamwe Attack" feels overblown because of the layers of programming, but the dynamic effect is unmistakable; it's more of a film cue than anything else and only a minor distraction. Elsewhere, such as on Cox's "Nobody Cares" produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, the American urban touch is a stark contrast to the more African centered material but this is not a distraction, more poignantly, a meditation on how much we missed in relation to this human tragedy. Ultimately, this is a very fine compilation, one that bears repeated listening, but also one that provokes different feelings in the listeners where melancholy and sadness co-exist seamlessly with beauty. ~ Thom Jurek If You Enjoy "Hotel Rwanda: Music From The Film (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Hotel Rwanda: Music From The Film (CD)" by Original SoundtrackThere are no customer reviews yet.
