"When I found out that this soundtrack was finally being released, I knew I had to go get it and after listening to it a couple of times, it was definitely worth the wait. Although, I am very surprised that it took more than ten years to make such a beautiful compilation of songs. None the less, it could have been released a lot sooner and the film in general would have done very well in the theatres since it was originally intended for a theatrical release. In my opinion, had the film been release in that form it would have certainly attracted a wider audience and would have gotten a lot more press about the haunting lore of what could really be lurking beneath the depths of Loch Ness.

In the long run, Trevor Jones' magical score and creative style brings with it an inspiring mix of both haunting mystery and breathtaking adventure. Which are all compelling themes for a genre of this type. For example, in the beginning when the original scientist charged with finding the illusive creature of Loch Ness has an eerie encounter with the beast that leads to an unfortunate accident on the edge of a rocky shoreline near the bank of the Loch. Another admirable track is when Ted Denson's character in the film sets out to comb the famous Lake in search of the legendary monster. The score encompasses a mix of Scotish lure and high seas adventure as Ted's boat travels up the Loch. The Score includes some much softer and romantic themes as well that all combine to make this CD one worthy of taking you to another world as it's easy to get lost in the haunting and beautiful melodies. This long awaited soundrack is certainly worth checking out and if you haven't seen the film yet it's available on DVD and is just as enjoyable as the music that accompanies its charming and wonderful story that has a great message at the end that's worth holding on to. 10/10 for this one. The next great film score worth putting onto CD is Ladder 49."

Brilliant!!!

"I've wanted this score ever since seeing the film; and I have to say it was worth the wait.

I actually bought mine direct from the distributor and it was in my player constantly for 4 weeks after receiving it.

The film was underappreciated in my opinion and as a result the score wasn't released at the time.

Thankfully, it's now released.

If you loved the film, then buy this score as you will not be disappointed."
