Summary: An amazing soundtrack to an amazing movie!
Comment: This is one of my all-time favorite movies and the soundtrack is just as good. I can listen to this no matter what mood I'm in and it will make me feel better.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Unbelievably mesmerizing soundtrack by Mark Isham!
Comment: After watching the movie "Crash", I told someone I didn't know which was better--the movie or the soundtrack. Very haunting and very moving music. Perfect background for the movie. Has jumped into my Top Ten list of CD's that I love to listen to. Has a great "New Age" feel to it.

Summary: The movie was a lot better!
Comment: I was disappointed. At the time of my purchase, my opinion was in the minority, but... This CD just doesn't do it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A good soundtrack...
Comment: ...to a great movie. It's not as good as his soundtrack to "Afterglow" but a nice listen nonetheless. Without the great band members like Gary Burton & Charles Lloyd what can one expect?

Summary: One of my favorite film scores from Mark Isham
Comment: Mark Isham is quickly becoming one of my favorite composers. His work on the indie film "The Cooler" introduced me to his talents and I enjoyed what I heard. It wasn't until "Crash" did I really start taking notice of his work. Mark's work on "Crash" is a mix of ambient and classical with a glimmer of Middle Eastern (like on the song "Flames"). A lot of film composers have a terrible habit of creating loud, bombastic music that simply overwhelms the film and the person watching the film. Mark avoids the bombastic trappings of Hans Zimmer and John Williams by creating a more lush, haunting, minimal score that will leave a profound, moving effect on the filmgoer. One of the best songs on the album is "Flames" a gorgeous Middle Eastern-influenced track with ethereal female vocals that reminded me of Azam Ali and Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance. My other favorite song on the cd is "In the Deep" by Bird York. The song is a lovely folk/pop/jazz song that captures the emotional turmoil that occurs through out the film. I wasn't too wild about The Stereophonics track. It kinda killed the intimate sound Mark Isham created. At least Bird York's song had that same lush, intimate, atmospheric sound. While "Crash" wasn't perfect by all means, the music itself is perfect in every sense of the word at least to me it is. Too bad I can't say the same for his recent work for "The Black Dahlia".

Editorial Reviews:

Mark Isham's highly emotional score for the film CRASH will move you in ways you never expected. Beautiful cinematic passages collide with ethnic voices evoking the powerful imagery of the film. The album is complimented by the original song "In the Deep" by Bird York and "Maybe Tomorrow" by Stereophonics.
