Nobody's Fool: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [Soundtrack]

nobody's fool: original motion picture soundtrack [soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Using both the London Philharmonic and London Metropolitan orchestras, Howard Shore weaves a succession of cozy underscores for this quaint story about small-town dysfunctionals. The tried-and-true formula of chipper strings and buoyant woodwinds is predictably effective, but (in good Shore fashion) the more interesting moments in this relatively tame assortment are the gray and brooding ones. It all sounds so innocent one moment and teeming with doubt the next. Shore may have a slightly more modern take on the kind of American landscape symphonettes Aaron Copland wrote for the movie version of Our Town. The mood changes are subtle, but the musical wallpaper still talks. For that reason alone, this disc is a fine study of the power that a soundtrack can retain with psychological shadings. --Joseph Lanza

5 out of 5 stars Shore's best is also one of the best of the decade.......1998-08-22

Those who are familiar with Howard Shore as the composer of two of the decades best and most disturbing thrillers (Silence of the Lambs and Seven) will no doubt be surprised by this sublime score. Simple, elegant, and melancholy; this music seems to seep right into you and imbue you with it's warmth and wistfulness. Nearly as perfect as Paul Newman was in his Oscar nominated role, this is music that is as comfortable as an old sweatshirt. Slip it on sometime. You'll want to wear it again and again.
