The music of pure rapture

"One of the most stirring soundtracks of any film I can recall, much of this music can take the listener to a place so calm and thoughtful it seems as if time has ceased to exist. There's little conventional "melody", but instead sweeping washes of sound and chords which convey ambiguous, tender and searching emotional states. Sometimes pensive, sometimes mystical, sometimes passionate, it is truthful, complex music, whether intimate or grand. I like to play it while driving in the mountains. It has become indispensible to me!"

Beautiful, Stirring and a Wonderful Infant Relaxer

"When I heard this soundtrack during the movie, I was swept away with it's beauty, expansiveness and, oddly, its intimacy. It soothed me like no other instrumental body of work I had heard at the time--or since. When we had our first son in 1990, I would bathe him at night, bring him into the living room, put this on and put him on my chest. Within 5 minutes, he'd be asleep. It worked equally well for our second son. Beyond infancy, it was a calming resource on more than our fair share of family car trips. You and your family can't miss with this one."

Beautiful!

"This soundtrack has always been very special to me. It was given to me as a gift years ago when the movie was released. Whenever, I need to escape the world and find a special place, I play this music. So smooth and gentle, it feels as if you are actually floating on the sound."
