Very easy to enjoy, for Carter. I usually love his work and this is no exception. Not quirky, quite subdued as with the subject matter. Grand instruments, but light. More like herbal tea than Earl grey. It really is more for listening than background.

"They stopped making this CD for a while, so I had to go directly to the label that made it to get a copy. After hearing it in the movie I simply had to have it. It cost me thirty bucks and was a pain to get but never has a CD been more worth it than this one. It is haunting and simple and beautiful. It made a great movie even greater and proves that while the movie needed the score, the score does not need the movie."

A simple, compassionate CD

"The two main themes resonate through the score many different times, and the 'thinking' score (French Succeed) and heartbreaking (How long to sink in?) a couple times. The longest and most beautiful track, combining all the beautiful elements is Tongues. There's over 40 minutes of breathtaking music that paints a deep contemplative picture of the world you cannot get anywhere else, combining awe and beauty with tragedy and humility. I have to be in a quiet mood for this, but it does not depress me. It makes me happy and gives me a buffer for the world, not so-rose coloured glasses to See through."
