yeah, so I bought this yesterday... and I was just a bit happy as I've wanted it for months... anyways, if you don't know, this is the soundtrack Peter Gabriel did for the movie The Rabbit-Proof Fence... Passion, his other soundtrack, is like my favorite album of all time, and so when I heard about this new soundtrack I was just a bit excited... Peter Gabriel, imo, has such an amazing ability to create these aural pictures in music, and then infuse them with such emotion... it's like you get the visual from the music, but also the emotions being felt... amazing stuff... anyways, I bought this and must admit I'm kind of dissappointed... don't get me wrong, there are moments of brilliance on here... perfect tracks which satisfy my desire for this type of music from PEter Gabriel... however, in the last half of the cd, Gabriel uses parts from his newest cd Up... for example, the Blind Boys of Alabama vocal part from the song Sky Blue on Up is used numerous times... it's still good, but kind of dissappointing that he just re-used it here... or re-used it on Up, depending on which came first...
so yeah, maybe no one cares at all... but if anyone here actually likes Passion, I suggest you get this one... it's definitely a good one... but like I said, dissappointing for a couple reasons...

but actually I think this album came before Up, so I should be dissappointed with Up... it's just I heard Up first...
ah well, it's good... I haven't listened to it enough to really say I guess...

I saw the movie last week - really enjoyed it and I didn't realise the soundtrack was by Gabriel until the credits started to roll... I was thinking while I was watching that soundtrack was really good - I thought it might have been Vangelis or someone as it reminded me of the sountrack on "Mutiny on the bounty" (by Vangelis)
ANyway, bloody excellent film and those young untrained actresses were superb..

I'm not sure if it's here yet... but it should be coming here, as I saw a poster in the theatre... I'd really like to see it...
