Negative Positive
Title: The movie is great but the CD music fails out of context.
Review: Except for the powerful, seven minute "Forgive Our Fathers" opening suite, the music on this CD amounts to background music for quite a good movie. The musicians do an admirable job in that respect but it doesn't transfer to music that stands alone. I bought the CD just on the basis of a very funny scene, with music and irreverent singing, in the movie. This too has less impact outside of the movie context. This is often the case with movie soundtracks. The person I saw the movie with was going to get the CD but I think we'll both be glad that we stopped at one.I'd take the money and invest in some good native american music or native american rock. This is my first native american CD, and since I first heard native american rock radio in Albuquerque in 1994, I have been attracted to the genre. The movie experience and the first track of this CD now move me to get my second and third native american CD's that aren't sound tracks.
Is the review positive or negative?
