His vision appears to be his own, and just happens to coincide with both the director's and the author's visions also, resulting in one of the best soundtracks -- and albums -- I've heard in a long time.
-
FilterThe music is so completely absorbing and evocative... it's possible to virtually recreate the film in your head. [#7, p.93]
-
Entertainment WeeklyByrne's music is wonderfuly brooding without losing the odd bounce in its step. [Listen 2 This supplement, Oct 2003, p.14]
-
UncutSincere and beautiful. [Nov 2003, p.116]
-
Q MagazineMostly brilliant and, most surprising of all, never pretentious. [Oct 2003, p.102]

Byrne leaves behind all the international rhythms that have dominated his solo work and turned in an album of moody, subtle beauty.... This is one of the strongest albums of his solo career.

-
MojoThis is music you can lose yourself in. [Oct 2003, p.110]
