Review

Record Collector (magazine) (p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The film starred] talented non-actors....Both perform well on the soundtrack, which is a series of their pining or triumphant love songs."

Title Note

Composers: Glen Hansard; Marketa Irglova.

While many movies use actors to play musicians, the Irish indie film ONCE enlisted singer-songwriters Glen Hansard (of the Frames) and Marketa Irglova to portray two Dubliners on the edge of romance. The couple's real-life chemistry not only translated to a compelling, crowd-pleasing tale, it yielded a subtly beautiful soundtrack, which consists largely of thoughtful chamber-pop tunes by Hansard, some of which previously appeared (in slightly altered form) on the Frames' THE COST and his prior collaboration with Irglova, THE SWELL SEASON. Highlights of the collection include the gentle "Falling Slowly" and the urgent "When Your Mind's Made Up," tracks that elegantly echo the emotional ups and downs of the lauded film.

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová – Once Original Soundtrack

Once, the Irish independent film, is not only making headlines for its bravo screen performance but also it’s soundtrack.

Considering this film was based on a relationship between a man and a woman forged entirely upon music, it seems only fitting that a soundtrack be released making it possible to experience the emotion of the film through simply listening to the CD.

Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová perform acoustic guitar and piano driven songs to the tune of thirteen tracks on this release and unlike your average soundtrack or modern recording, this album maintains the underground indie sound spawning from the movie.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Hansard and Irglová who have collaborated in the past with their release The Swell Season which hit the streets late 2006; as well as us having a previous relationship with Hansard as the front man for The Frames.

This harmonious collection of songs has an air of truth and brilliance about it which unfortunately are far and few between qualities for a record release today. Hansard and Irglová will leave you speechless with there ability to bring such deep rooted emotion to the surface long enough to be recorded. I remember a time when many records had this type of “true” emotion…Once upon a time…

Favorite Songs: “Leave”, “If You Want Me”, “Say It to Me Now”

5 out of 5 stars Listen to this more than Once!, February 1, 2008
By Sophie
Once I popped in this CD, it took me through the emotive ride that was felt throughout the film itself, which I highly recommend as ell. Whether it serves as your getaway from the daily pulse of those workday woes or as a travelling partner sipping your expresso in the morning, this cd is well worth becoming the trusty companion for everyone in some form or fashion. Highly recommended!
