After watching this unforgettable film I couln´t get some of the songs out of my head to the point that I had to rush and get the CD as soon as I could.
I really enjoy listening to this CD while I´m doing anything at home.I can classify it as easy listening ,especially the instrumental tracks by MICHAEL ANDREWS.They are quite relaxing,though some can be a bit spooky.
I really reccommend the 2 CD version as it has the MICHAEL ANDREWS´ songs on a CD and the sung ones in the other.
The TEARS FOR FEARS songs included ,deserve a special mention ,and of course the cover of one of these_MAD WORLD_ by MICHAEL ANDREWS and GARY JULES,which got high on the top charts .
Very apropriate for the film were "THE KILLING MOON" and "UNDER THE MILKY WAY" by ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN AND THE CHURCH respectively.
For me this is a highly reccommended CD to listen to.
