This is a downbeat and brainy set of mostly instrumental tracks from the likes of Kronos Quartet, ECM guitarist Terje Rypdal, guitarist Michael Brook, and Lisa (Dead Can Dance) Gerrard. Highlights include "Always Forever Now" by Passengers (Brian Eno, U2), and Moby's mordant cover of Joy Division's "New Dawn Fades." --Jeff Bateman

Best movie ever! Not the best soundtrack, unfortunately........2006-10-29

Alright, first of all, in my opinion this is the best movie ever made. No question. It is simply perfect. With that said, you may say that my review is biased. But I think my analysis of this album is pretty fair.

I didn't really notice the music in the film too much, it was kinda just background music, except for a few cases. Track 21, "God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters" by Moby is simply a beautiful song, you may remember it during the final scene and the credits. It is wonderful. Moby also has another great song on the album, track 11 "New Dawn Fades", which you may remember from the late-night highway pursuit between Pacino and DeNiro. And finally, the only other song of note on this album is the high-intensity track 13 "Force Marker" by Brian Eno, which you may remember from one of the best scenes in film, the L.A. bank robbery/shootout.

Aside from tracks 11,13, and 21, there is really nothing here on this album. And I think that the 'soundtrack' moniker is incorrect. I would have labeled this album under original 'score' from the movie. This is almost fully instrumental, with only 3 tracks that standout, and it is simply not worth listening to. This is true even for someone who thinks this is the best movie ever made.

If you are looking for great 'soundtracks' look at Vanilla Sky, Great Expectations, and Donnie Darko.

very good.......2006-08-07

has many songs from the movie not just a few like many other worthless soundtrack cd's

ive always enjoyed this movie becuase it's one of the all time greats, and any great movie has to have great audio.

hence this cd

Great Music From A Great Movie.......2006-05-16

What can i say? I dont even remember the number of times i have seen this movie. And the soundtrack is excellent. To tell the truth , after listening to this soundtrack, i was curious about soundtracks of Michael Mann's other movies.So i got other soundtracks too. Latest one being Collateral. Buy it!

Fascinating Soundtrack with many Contributors.......2006-01-02

Michael Mann is a director who is very music conscious, I like directors who are very music conscious. Filmmakers who take the time to work out how the music and the images will go together and the kind of music to put in their movies. The soundtrack to the movie 'Heat' is mostly a success. Look at the names of the contributors alone, Elliot Goldenthal, the Kronos Quartet, Terje Rypdal, Moby, Brian Eno, Lisa Gerrard and more. It makes for quite a listen. Elliot Goldenthal is the primary name here, he is the composer of the original music score, he has the most number of tracks on this CD and even though some of his industrial sounding tracks are repetitive and annoying, he can create absolutely gorgeous sounds, check out the first 2 and a half minutes of track 1, labeled 'Heat', truly beautiful work by Goldenthal, ( the Kronos Quartet perform it ). Another highlight of the soundtrack is the dreamy track 10, by Terje Rypdal, titled 'Mystery Man'. Goldenthal later returns on other selections, many tragic and mournful.

Moby performs 'New Dawn Fades', not his song apparently and Moby also wrote and performs the haunting, minimalist final track on this CD, 'God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters', a hypnotic landscape of sound which perfectly evokes the final, tragic moments of the film. Yes, I know the version in the film is slightly different from this one here, get both versions if you must, it's only a few seconds of difference.

If it wasn't for some of that annoying industrial music interspersed throughout the CD, I would have put this among my highest recommendations. It is still a must own if you liked the movie and especially if you enjoy listening to movie scores/sountracks.

Closing Music from the Film is not the Version on this Album.......2005-09-23

If you are looking for the music to the closing scene of the film, the music that reaches an almost religious apex, the soundtrack does not contain it. That song is indeed called "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" and it is by Moby, but that song exists in several versions. The version included here on the soundtrack album has the twinkling piano and chords, but does not reach the rousing synth high, as found in the film. For the version closest to what appears in the film, see Moby's album "I Like to Score."

IT'S SINKING!.......2001-10-22

This is a great CD if you are really into buying soundtracks of movies that create a false sense of meaning in your life or if you live through movies insted of the real world. And Celine Dion?? I could barely listen to the song the first time I heard it. Now it's really annoying, just like any other song they over-overplay on the radio, on television, and at weddings. Help! I'm stuck in the mainstream nothingness! repeat repeat repeat

VERY GOOD!.......2001-03-03

A perfect soundtrack (only I have the video of Titanic, not the soundtrack). The soundtrack REALLY sets the mood. Very touching and emotional, and uplifting, with Celine singing the final song. I like it very much, though Enya would also be perfect to put in the soundtrack also, considering her soulful "Watermark" and "A Day Without Rain."

James Horner's Best Masterpiece!.......2000-11-19

Happy to say that I'm a proud owner of this soundtrack on CD.But because of James Horner's sweeping masterpiece,I decided to get it on the SACD format.His music involves you in the story of the fateful R.M.S. Titanic and furthermore brings joy,happiness and sadness in this beautifully crafted CD edition.Calling all Titanic fans out there,this is one CD not to be missed! Two thumbs up!
