Editorial Reviews

Another product of a questionable practice that juxtaposes original scores with a hodgepodge of previously recorded songs, this disc is difficult to enjoy without the benefits of a programmable CD player. Richard Robbins's original music to this Merchant-Ivory production is full of interludes that are nicely executed but ill-served by the misguided inclusion of ghosts from old pop stars past. Though engaging in their range from dark romanticism to dreamy suspense and playful swing, Robbins's tracks are not distinctive enough to fend off a wet blanket of noise from the likes of Tito Puente, France Gall, Canned Heat, and David Bowie--all of whom may be welcomed during the movie's actual narrative but not by the home listener in search of a consistent mood. --Joseph Lanza

5 out of 5 stars amazing soundtrack to an amazing movie........1999-07-20

The French pop songs are a great collection for a beginner of the genre, and the orchestral pieces are beautiful. La Guira is a nice extra. A must have for any film or music fan.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty good..........1998-11-13

I like Richard Robbins' music very much and as usual it is top notch. Unfortunately, most of the vocal tracks could have used better placement, execpt "La Guira" and "Di Doo Dah", the only two I enjoy. Overall, a good album.
