CD Reviews

Could have been five stars.

"321 Records finally releases the score to Christopher Franke's controversial film, What The Bleep Do We Know...two years late.



What are the pro's with this release? The highlight for me of coures is the 20 minutes or so of Christopher Franke's score. Some cool music from electronic artists John Serrie, Michael Whalen and Bedrock.



Now the con's....Franke's score is all over the place. They could have at least put the Franke stuff together.



The last 30 minutes consists of Franke score, covered by quotes from the movie? Why? There is plenty of score here that could havee been included, without the quotes, even with keeping these spoken word segments on the disc....there is plenty of room on the discs for it as the first disc only clocks in at 54 minutes.



John Serrie's "Tingrl Maiden" is included twice! This track is identical. Again, could have been ommited for some more score. I don't understand. They list it under disc two as a "meditation track" but one could quite easily meditate to the track on the first disc.



If You're a Chris Franke completist like me, it's a shame cause I was expecting so much more out of this, and it's a disappointment.



$20 is steep for what it is. I got it here at amazon for $10 used, and I wouldn't pay much for it.



The Animotion song is fine, and I understand why they included it, but I really don't need this track on yet another compilation. The Aeon Spoke song doesn't do much for me, but again, I understand why it was included.







Boo to 321 Records with this. It had the potential to be so much more and disappoints on so many levels. Given what we have, I would have cut out the "spoken word tracks" and just released the rest on one disc. If you want the "spoken word", you can buy the film.



Get this if you are a Christopher Franke completist or a fan of the film.



All in all, a disappointing release, but this is the first Christopher Franke release in over five years and I suppose beggars can't be choosers....."
A must see.

"I have watched this movie 3 times so far, and everytime that I have watched it I was able to learn something new. It is not a life changing movie, but it develops a mindset that can be used to create new approches towards life."
Excellent

"I found this CD just perfect, if you enjoyed the movie, I also like Tangerene Dream, but I am not an avid collector, so I just thought the soundtrack covered a lot of highlights of the movie, and it was well put together. Some of the vocals bring back some of the high-points of the movie. If you liked the movie, you will like the soundtrack equally."
