Music reviews of Local Hero (1983 Film)
Music Review: not all of the music from the film is on this CD
Rating: 1 Stars
Great movie.
However, if you liked the music as it was played by the little band featured in the movie, you will not find that music on this CD.
And that is what a soundtrack should be.
All of the music, esp. if it's good, from the movie on a CD.
This soundtrack is more a Mark Knopfler CD and not the complete soundtrack from the movie "Local Hero".
A good example of a great soundtrack CD is the Tom Petty music from the movie "She's the One".
That CD has all of the music from that movie without exception.
The other reviewers here talking about the great "scottish folk music" on this CD are just wrong.
In the movie "Local Hero" there are fine examples of it, but on this soundtrack, there are only little snippets of it.
Description of Local Hero (1983 Film)
This soundtrack (along with Ry Cooder's for Paris, Texas and Ennio Morricone's for Once Upon a Time in America, to name two other examples) is the kind of music that CDs were made for. Some of it is so delicate, so quiet, that it could disappear underneath the rumble and noise of a vinyl LP. You'd never know this was the score to a comedy--even a gentle wisp of a comedy like Bill Forsyth's picture. Some of it could pass for Scottish- flavored ambient music by Brian Eno. "The Rocks and the Water" seems to rise up like the tide with electronic calls that suggest the music of whales or dolphins. The sound of the sea whispers behind several atmospheric tracks, but Knopfler's guitar is also featured up-front some of the more overtly melodic tunes. The overall impression is luminous and evanescent as the Northern Lights. --Jim EmersonAlbum-Oriented Rock (AOR) CDs
