strength of Philip Glass's score lies in its quiet sensitivity and restraint. At times it's easy to forget that there is even music at all. The album contains many of th...
Advantages: Some powerfully exciting music Disadvantages: Recording can't do it complete justice
...what I take to be a solo double bass, like a dying elephant. The two timpanists begin a dialogue which builds up a ferocious heat to the accompaniment of a xylophone playing an oriental sounding tune. This fades out and is followed by jazzy drumming that puts me in mind of the late Joe Morello, one-time drummer of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. The xylophone returns and with the drums leads us into
7 Concerto-Fantasy: Movement 3. This is a lively dance movement with jazzy rhythms, very PhilipGlass in sound, extrovert and full of the sounds of the city. You can almost see one of those wide New York streets with its never-ending streams of traffic, constantly changing lights and milling crowds. And then suddenly, it’s gone, the music reaching an abrupt conclusion.

Advantages: Some decent rhythm and blues Disadvantages: Film dialogue in the wrong places
...for such a classic track.
The big names of 1960s soul music keep coming, with Eddie Floyd and Wilson Pickett performing "634-5789", which was originally a hit for Wilson Pickett, but was written by Eddie Floyd. I think they missed a trick by not including the dialogue over the intro that is in the film, but this minor concern apart, this is a great upbeat and mid-tempo soul number. It doesn't quite have the edge of some of Pickett's other song, seeming a bit smoother than "In the Midnight Hour" for example, but it's got a couple of great soul voices on it and it's a great tune and would probably be my favourite on the album, if it wasn't for the next track.
From the first time I heard it, Blues Traveler's "Maybe I'm Wrong" has become one of my favourite songs ever, not just in the film and I've bought several of their albums since. Indeed, had...

...Heart Of Glass
I'm Gonna Love You Too
Just Go Away
The Album opens with Hanging On The Telephone. If I had hinted earlier that Parallel Lines was a change in direction for the Band then you could be forgiven on listening to this song for the first time in thinking that I was mistaken. Hanging On The Telephone is a fast song that draws heavily on their earlier Punk influences, but here we have something that is much more finely produced and less raw than anything they had previously released.
Debbie Harry pleads desperately for the person at the other end of the phone not to hang up on her as she almost screams "Don't leave me hanging on the telephone...."
This song opens with the sound of a telephone ringing followed by the crashing sound of Drums and Cymbals and loud Guitars. Debbie's voice is loud and powerful with an anger inside...
