I thought it lacked the romantic, sweeping sound I expected, and wanted it to have. But, on repeated listenings the music started to come to life. And there it was - one of the most beautiful and romantic scores I have heard in a long time. With a lot of guitar, piano, oboe and cello solos, together with the traditional orchestra, Kamen's score is a very beautiful, lovely, and perhaps a little sad and nostalgic listening experience. Kamen uses the theme from the song "Beside You" (written by Mark Snow) as the scores' main theme. The theme, and the song, which is included on the album, by the way, is really great, and very beautiful, but I think it would have been more interesting with an original theme. But the theme works, and I suppose that is what is important. And there are other, also very good, themes, so I can live with that. As I have already said the music is mostly romantic, and soft, but there are some more scarry and frightening cues, like for example in track 2 and track 7. I haven't seen the film but I suppose they work in the film. However, on CD they kind of interrupt the flow of the soaring and romantic music. But apart from those part the music builds, throughout the album, to a wonderfully romantic finale. And here the music finally gets that sweeping sound I was looking, and hoping for. It's just wonderful when the whole orchestra quotes the main theme. Highlights are the first track, with it's lovely oboe solo (played by Kamen himself, by the way); the third cue, where the main theme gets a full orchestral treatment; the fourth and fifth tracks with the dreamy, and perhaps a little jazzy, piano solos; the sixth track, also piano, this time very sad; the ninth cue, which has a wonderful cello solo rendition of the main theme; and the two last orchestral cues, with the beautiful finale, which leads into the great song "Beside You". Performed by Mick Hucknell (aka Simply Red) this has to be one of my favourite love songs ever. The reason I am not writing out the full track names is that they are long. Very long. Each track is divided into several sections and each part has a name. The first track, for instance, is called "I Once Met This Beautiful Girl By A Lake/That Was the Last Time We Saw the Children Alive"... by Andreas Lindahl [reference] ref:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120889/ ref:http://www.scorereviews.com/title.asp?id=244 ref:http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=9702 ref:http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/what_dreams.html ref:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000DG3G/103-4875971-5166222?v=glance ref:http://www.soundtrack.net/soundtracks/database/?id=1031 ref:http://www.moviemusic.com/CD/whatdreamsmaycome.html [download] ftp://ostk:ostk@mediaican.vicp.net/下载密码/1998{1998 What Dreams May Come (Michael Kamen)/1998{1998_WhatDreamsMayCome_MichaelKamen_77mb.zip 解压密码:http://chinagraph.cn
