Editorial Reviews

This 1991 companion to German director Wim Wenders's film sets a high water mark for the intelligent use of cutting-edge popular (and we're using that term in its broadest sense) music on film, deservedly cracking onto critical lists for the best releases of that year, period. The contemplative thriller's setting at the end of the millenium is answered by a remarkable repertory of artists including Talking Heads, Neneh Cherry, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Patti Smith, Jane Siberry with k.d. lang, T-Bone Burnett, Daniel Lanois and U2, a de facto dream team. Nearly all these performances were unheard at the time of release, and beyond the evident marquee lustre there's an underlying cohesion to the sense of yearning that prevails. Both Cave and U2 build powerful songs around the title theme, Elvis offers a brilliant Ray Davies cover, and the Siberry/lang classic, "Calling All Angels," summarizes the spiritual underpinnings of this thoroughly modern, ultimately timeless classic in film music. --Sam Sutherland

Movie soundtrack.......2007-04-16

I had seen the movie and wanted the soundtrack. The CD is dated, but worth it to have if you liked the movie.

Evocative & Eclectic.......2007-02-10

Just an absolutely amazing album. This genius collection of songs was probably one of my biggest musical influences.

Must have.......2006-12-24

There's not a single clunker on this disc. It's worth twice the offered price. Buy it, you will not be disappionted!

Magic of Music.......2006-09-30

I first heard this soundtrack circa spring of '92. My niece Mel had this playing in her car one day we went out of town and it moved me so much I immediately went out and bought it for myself. I was heavy into U2's "Achtung Baby" at the time and thought it was really cool that this soundtrack was named after a song on that c.d. and was also included on it.

I'd heard most of these artists already, but this soundtrack seemed to bring out a different feel to them. Every song on this soundtrack is gorgeous and often stunning, a few even bring me to tears every time I hear them, one being Jane Siberry's "Calling All Angels" {I recently heard a beautiful cover of this song one day coming home from Seattle on "A Prarie Home Companion"; Garrison Keiller's All Star Band and a female singer who's name escapes me played a moving rendition of it and I was amazed by it, it's power, it's beauty, even played live in this context}.

One of all-time Favorite c.d.'s in my music collection, the music on this soundtrack seems to transcend time and space. Beautiful and moving.

Music Of Moods.......2006-08-17

My fiancee kept trying to play her old casette version of this soundtrack. It was so old that it kept on messing up her player. I ordered this music on CD, and the first night she received it, she could not believe the improved sound quality of the music she cherished. Listening in a new way kept her bragging about the songs all night long. Well, almost all night long.

Great songs, great artist. Mood music. Try it.
