Editorial Reviews

Directors making strong characteristic decisions about the music in their films are, aside from being few in number, generally people who depend on a particular composer--directors like Steven Spielberg (John Williams), Steven Soderbergh (Cliff Martinez), and John Carpenter (himself). Michael Mann is that rare director for whom musical literacy has less to do with professional partnership than with a hunger for aesthetic exploration. From his days with Miami Vice, in which he spearheaded the integration of pop songs with a scene's motion, Mann has been relentlessly creative in the scoring of his work--setting producer Trevor Jones (a knowledgeable technophile) loose in The Last of the Mohicans wilderness and getting Elliot Goldenthal to blend electronic, hard-rock, and orchestral effects for a haunting score to Heat. The common theme is mood, at times profoundly spiritual, fashionably effete, or resolutely cold. These are the temperaments of Lisa Gerrard, best known for her work with the prototrance act Dead Can Dance, and her sometime partner Pieter Bourke. Their score for The Insider is a rich montage of paranoia and momentum, perfectly suited to Mann's moralistic corporate thriller. Mechanized drums flirt with ambient music while, soaring above, thick clouds of synthesized drones recall Peter Gabriel's fortunate work on the big screen. --Marc Weidenbaum

I'm so happy you had it!.......2007-05-15

I had been looking in stores for this soundtrack because I think the music is really full of raw emotion and is a great experience listening to it. And, as always, ordering things from Amazon is easy and the items usually come sooner than promised, which is great. I'll continue to look around Amazon for future purchases!

Spellbinding Soundtrack.......2007-01-16

After viewing the film, The Insider, I had to have the CD! This soundtrack is spellbinding. Most of the music has an almost otherworldly, Middle Eastern vibe that is very compelling. I keep playing this CD over and over.

Unusual Music for a Soundtrack.......2007-01-16

I bought this CD strictly to hear the entire piece titled, "Sacrifice." I was greatly impressed with it when I first saw the film. I had heard portions of it in the background of several movie trailers after that, which led me to want to hear the entire piece and any background information about it. Although I was unable to obtain any of the aforementioned information, I still enjoy listening to the piece and am glad I purchased the CD.

Wonderful.......2006-02-18

This is a wonderfully evocative soundtrack. The tracks are diverse in tone and have an other-worldly quality to them. I wish I had bought this album sooner!

Lisa Gerrard.......2005-12-25

Lisa Gerrard's music moves me in ways that no other singer/musician does. Being a DCD fan, I bought Mirror Pool & Duality the day they were released. (They are still my favories)
The Insider is a great movie. Some of the best work I have seen from Crowe & Pacino. Lisa captures the mood (much like she did with Gladiator) with her special unique voice & style.
Lisa's music has a powerful effect on me and makes me feel as if I am going through a re-birthing. The sadness & pain of letting go of the past coupled with the hope and anticipation of what is to come. The struggle & release cycles throughout her music but always leaves me feeling at peace. Meltdown at the end of this score fits perfectly. I love to meditate to Lisa's music and let her take me on a beautiful journey. Art at its finest.
