"Okay, Sinead O'Connor wrote and sings the theme song, "Back Where You Belong," which is one of the most beautifully sad-yet-uplifting songs ever written for a film, and the track was produced by Daniel Lanois.
Hello?!
Overall, a wonderful collection made ideal (esp. for a big-budget fantasy film) with all the classic strings, swooping cinematic flourishes, and other bells & whistles by composer J. Howard. The film looks to be an absolute winner, what with the vaunted production and the strong cast (not to mention the story).
But the O'Connor/Lanois track ("Back Where You Belong") is worth its weight in absolute GOLD. Just get it. How does that woman write with such emotional, powerful "beauty"?

"Take Ireland's #1 group "The Chieftains", throw in Sinead O'Connor's voice and an absolutely first-class orchestra to boot, and you are swept into the deep waters of Loch Ness ,Scotland with strength and great bravado,yet with also simplicity and tenderness.Six time Oscar nominated composer James Newton Howard has composed ascruptiously delicious Celtic-flavoured score sprinkled with the Uilleann Pipes,tin whistle et al of "the Chieftains" and lush strings,bold brass and reed and wind instruments in virtually one continuous Celtic symphony.Each wonderfully harmonious track flows uncut into the next, and the listener is carried to the Highlands.Howard is one of my top five score composers and he excels in backing all of the action required for the Jay Russell film.Even without the film, though, this CD stands quite beautifully on it's own, especially for we Celts or for those who adore our music.Highly recommended film and soundtrack.Howard's other recent soundtrack to I Am Legend and Restoration: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture Soundtrack among others."
Celtic Lovers will delight in "The Water Horse" Soundtrack

"Not often do you get the singing talents of Sinead O'Connor and The Chieftains and Men's Choirs underscored by a full blown Symphony Orchestra doing the music of top film soundtrack composer James Newton Howard Restoration: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture Soundtrack andI Am Legend and The Great Debatersall at once!!! Well here you have it, and it is glorious.From the gentle "pipes" opening of 'The Water Horse Main Title' through 'Ann', 'Run Angus', the humorous 'The Dinner Party', the all-consuming 'The Net' and ending with the 8+ minute 'The Water Horse Suite' performed by The Chieftains, the score for "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep" flows seamlessly from track to track evoking the powerful images of the Scottish Highlands and the murky depths of the cavernous Loch Ness.This soundtrack is exciting from start to finish. A"
Mr. Howard does it again!

"Being an admirer of both celtic music and James Newton Howards work, I was really excited about this album. But, my interest was peeked even further when discovered that the Chieftains had collaborated with Howard for this score. And I wasn't dissapointed.
The whole score is made up of melancholy, majesty, jaw-dropping swells of melody and emotion and the beauty of Scotland."

"Very easy to listen to. Evokes the atmosphere of the story, but also stands on its own merits. Just wish there was more of it."
