The Shipping News.......2007-05-14

As awesome and haunting as the movie. A must if you loved the movie. A must if you love excellent, moving musical scores from films.

Haunting Soundtrack to an Excellent Film.......2007-02-14

Contrary to some reviews that I have read, having now seen it twice, I think The Shipping News is an excellent film. It tells a good tale, is extremely well acted, and is very atmospheric. One of the great things about the film is the music. It features the Uilean Pipes, Penny Whistle, Hurdy Gurdy, Fiddle, Harps, as well as Guitars, and creates a haunting backdrop to the film. You could almost imagine you were there in Newfoundland. I like this soundtrack CD - very much - what more can I say?

Relaxing and stimulating at the same time.......2003-09-15

Even if you haven't seen the movie, you will love this music--Celtic influences, rhythmic drumming, mood invoking -- consistently delivers.

I had it on as background music when I had company and everyone noticed and was raving about it. They hadn't heard of the movie but sure loved this CD.

Celtic influence is obvious.......2003-03-15

Unlike many soundtracks, every track on this CD stands alone as a great piece to listen to. If you saw the movie, each track evokes memories but if you didn't, you can enjoy this CD on its own merits. If you like traditional Celtic styled music, this is the CD for you - I played it for an Irish friend who hadn't seen the movie and she fell in love with it and bought her own copy.

Where's the Great Big Sea?.......2002-03-13

I saw the movie, and was stunned by the soundtrack, particularly by the fact that it had five songs by Newfoundland band Great Big Sea in it (Generally played in the cafe). I was extremely disappointed, therefore, to discover that none of these songs made it onto the CD, as they are both fabulous songs, and songs that were a crucial part of the overall mood of the movie.
