The reason i'm giving it a 4 is because. Carlys song was not the same as it was on the movie. On the movie it had a lot more felling and saddness. The other trackes are really good. I love oh carolina my fish like to dance to it. Pretty good soundtrack except carlys song.

A lost and found classic.......2005-01-13

I remember two things about the movie "Sliver": One--it was one of the stupidest movies I'd ever seen, and two--that the soundtrack was so good it was ALMOST worth watching the whole film just to listen to the tunes contained herein.

People beat their heads against the wall when they heard UB40's version of "Can't Help Falling In Love", but they're a bunch of nitwits. It made it to number one on the strength of the band's interpretation--the original was overdone as it was. I liked it, but this soundtrack offers much more.

Shaggy's "Oh Carolina" was a dancefloor classic and still remains a staple of any self-respecting club. Enigma's bookends "Carly's Song" and the reprise "Carly's Loneliness" represent the band's zenith, and when you throw in Massive Attack's "Unfinished Symphony", you've got a powerhouse album that still holds up.

One of the best soundtracks of the 90s, hands down.

10 Year Old Soundtrack That Still Sizzles..........2003-09-17

Released in '93 while the techno rage was still emerging or going strong some tracks will sound dated...Others still hold their own ground pretty good.UB-40's take on an Elvis classic was blasphemy to die-hard Elvis fans. Plus, the fact it was a video played to death on MTV didn't help matters. But, leave it to UB-40 to give it their special spin with their electronic reggae and horn treatment and make it their own (remember Red, Red Wine?!...the old Neil Diamond classic).
Enigma's hauntingly Sadeness musings on Carly's Song and Carly's Loneliness make the soundtrack worth owning if you don't like anything else on the roster.The bonus is that this special mix for the track was re-mixed for the Enigma album it came off from or was put into (the version found on Cross of Changes cd by Enigma has a more Middle Eastern horn and percussion feel).So, Carly's Song on Sliver is the original or special mix found nowhere else (I prefer this version to the Cross of Changes Enigma album version). Enigma's contribution actually stands out enough to give the soundtrack it's trademark thematic sound and most memorable song !Massive Attack, Neneh Cherry, and Shaggy produced tracks in almost the same suit or vein as Engima's. Quirky but likeable tunes by Fluke, Lords of Acid, and Heaven 17 throw in a sort of 80's retro New Wave/Techno sound while maintaining the early 90's feel (afterall '93 was not too far away from the late 80's). Remaining artists contribute tracks of a more alternative, experimental/industrial rock nature...Where the film failed to make it's box office mark, the soundtrack was more of a sure bet !

Fast Becoming a Cult Classic?.......2001-11-06

I first saw the movie Sliver when I was a junior in high school. My girlfriends and I ended up seeing it four times in the theater. It was dark, lonely, and sexy...a story of awakening female sexuality...perfect for what four teenage Catholic schoolgirls were feeling at the time. The soundtrack was this feeling, made portable. I recently re-descovered it, and it really takes me back. I'm not surprised to learn that there are other people out there who still find this soundtrack as sexy and haunting, although quirky, as the B movie that inspired it.

WOW!.......2000-11-10

If there ever was a cd to play when you want to get someone in bed, this is it. Enigma's contribution make this cd worth every penny. I love the LOA track on it too. This cd makes me want to get very affectionate with someone. Like some very heavy making out. The music really fits the movie well too. You can get the feeling of the movie while you are listening to this. But even if you are just an Enigma fan, you should get this cd cause they have 2 songs here and are just great.
