Customer Reviews

Austere and dark moods from the master of postmodern scores.
Angelo Badalamenti's score for The City of Lost Children finds him utilising his orchestration skills to their full extent. His use of the string section in particular is extremely accomplished, with his lyrical writing helping to emphasise the often-melancholic tone of the film. Highlights of the soundtrack include the song "Who Will Take My Dreams Away?" (written with Marianne Faithful), and Badalamenti's sinister organ grinder music composed for the scenes featuring the trained fleas. Overall a very evocative and moving score, and a must for any serious fan of Badalamenti's film music.

Pleasantly surprised
I bought this mainly for the one Marianne Faithfull track "Who Will Take Your Dreams Away", which incidentally is not available on any of her CD's. However, I would class it as the missing track which was never included on her "A Secret Life" CD which has all 10 tracks by Angelo Badalamenti. Anyway, I have grown to love the "City Of Lost Children" soundtrack album the strings in particular are so dramatic.
