Review / Comments ::

Soundtracks and original motion picture scores are not strangers in my iTunes music library. There are a number of movies where I've been captivated by their soundtrack / score. Usually for me, if a movie has a great supporting score, it turns out to be a "keeper".

If you haven't seen Bicentennial Man (1999) with Robin Williams, I must recommend that you do. It's a remarkable movie, a masterpiece.

James Horner the composer and conductor for the soundtrack gives you an audible journey that matches the movie perfectly, as you follow the lead character Andrew.

Bicentennial Man is one of those movies where there is so much character build-up, that you don't want to see anything bad happen to it's main characters.

You feel the full range of emotions right along with the characters... and it's instrumental soundtrack makes those feelings for it's characters all the more justified.

Bicentennial Man has that finely tuned visual + audio combo which drives it right home to being spectacular for your eyes, ears, and heart.

If you've seen the movie (or when you do), the last instrumental offering (16) The Gift of Mortality, will bring a tear to your eye...

Bicentennial Man holds a special place in my heart, right along with it's soundtrack.
