...us to go out and do that, he is merely making observations of the world around us all. I haven't seen him live (wish I had gone to the Braehead gig in Glasgow) but watching him on tv you can tell he is a performer. His performance compliments his music, is that what people are talking about when they say he is as marketed as Britney Spears? He actually has the imagination to push the boundaries of what he does and who he is instead of simply going with the "sex sells" formula of all the pop industry.

...this is one of the greatest scores for any movie out today. it includes some of the world's greatest artists including sir james galway on flute as well as other featured musicians. the bold, powerful music of the film loses nothing when observed on its own without the images. the expressiveness of the score is of a quality rarely seen today. though there is a repetitive theme throughout the various tracks this was necessary as it is an accompaniment and not meant to detract too much attention from the film, but rather to embelish and support it. though it was repetitive in nature there were different unique themes, and each variation on a particular theme was original and deep. one does not even have to have seen the movie to enjoy and appreciate this moving soundtrack....
