Superb (2008-04-27)

I bought this cd because Amazon offered it as a double deal for under a tenner! I loved the last song - Somewhere over the Rainbow and thought why not treat yourself to it, it costs nothing! Anyway,it is such a beautiful collection and I totally love it. Very relaxing to listen to but in no way boring, it lulls you, then teases you, then absorbs you - superb. I think it allows you to have a glass of wine and ponder or as I just did peel the potatoes and ponder!!! There's more than one gem on this cd - it is a collection of gems. Treat yourself!

Beautiful (2007-03-07)

Meet Joe Black is a great movie and one of my all time favs, i recently bought the soundtrack as it occured to me how much i needed it, it works with the film so well, Thomas Newman also done the soundtrack for another great film, the Shawshank Redemption, he is a wonderful composer, with a real talent for emotional music, his music is very atmospheric, and hauntingly beautiful. I was very pleased with this cd, it reminds me of parts of the film when i listen to it and serves very nicely as some calm, chilling out music. There really is some truly beautiful music on this cd, if you liked the movie, or if your into calming, uplifting music, then you should check this out.

Meet Joe Black Soundtrack Review (2006-12-20)

I bought this CD for one reason only Track 6 Whisper of a Thrill. It was used by BBC 1 Countryfile as background for a feature on a Scottish lighthouse. I recognised the beautiful haunting melody but frustratingly I couldn't place it. I ended up writing to the BBC and the Countrywide Team was kind enough to reply. I loved the movie but like many other reviewers I didn't truly appreciate the Newman score until I listened to the CD in isolation. The score offers a re-occuring mixture of sentimental, provocative and sometimes mischievous themes with the addition of a few uplifting Irving Berlin orchestrations. It is a work of art in its own right. This music has compelled me to write to the BBC and post a rewiew - I have never done either of these things before- It is that good.

Calming, intense, ethereal, take your pick (2005-11-22)

Having just received the album this morning, I have to say that it was a delight to have my room filled with such a presonal collection of music. Whilst the tracks were obviously written to compliment the film, the album works well on its own, with a combination of playful, uplifting tracks to the darker and more brooding extended tracks, all of which serve to form an album of understated quality. A rare treat.

Haunting Reveries of sheer delight (2004-11-09)

I saw the film "Meet Joe Black a few years ago and apart from the powerful message of the film itself, the thing that most stayed with me was the soundtrack; it was breathtakingly haunting and beautiful. I found myself drifting away from the world and lift into a musical paradise. I have since brought the DVD and watched it twice more, just to hear the music. Now I have the soundtrack. If you like to hear real orchestrated music at is exquisite best then you simply MUST get this CD, it will leave you in a state of extreme bliss. Each track is impeccable and you find yourself reliving the film in your head. I cannot do without hearing it over and over again, it is music of which you can never tire. Newton is a genius!
