Title: Good Stuff
Product review: Note: my actual rating is 4.5 starsWhen I listened to the "Merlin" soundtrack for the first time in a Borders, I decided not to buy it. Once I got home, I realized what a mistake I had made. This album is great, and evokes the perfect fantasy/myth/epic mood for the movie. There are enough repetitions of recognizable themes to tie the tracks together, but there is also plenty of variation. A favorite of mine is track 3, "The Walls are Whispering." Within this one track are about four themes, including a spirited battle theme (which, to this day, gives me goosebumps)and a medieval dance. Track 7, "May Angels Fly Thee Home" is a beautiful, sad piece. I hear traces of Jones' work in the movie "The Dark Crystal" (esp. in track 6) reincarnated in this soundtrack (if anyone knows where I can get that soundtrack, please let me know). Parts of this soundtrack also show a distant resemblence to the "Berceuse" from Stravinsky's "Firebird." This soundtrack truly is magical.
