Search - Jack Nitzsche :: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Original Soundtrack

Why did the producer alter the final song?

"This review does not focus on the music on the cd, but rather it focuses on the production of it. I have had the album of this for 25 years and have repeatedly played it for creative inspiration, and I've always loved the films closing track - and I purchased this cd to replace my well-worn album, and for some reason the producer felt it necessary to change the last song and repeat a verse thereby making the song longer. As a result the song doesn't flow properly and the crescendo is altered and is ultimately ruined. Shame on the producer who felt this was necessary. Shame. I will play my album instead."

Music For Pleasure

"C.S. Lewis, author of "The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe" series, once described a piece of music as having the ability to make you want to, "Laugh, cry, dance, and make you want to mind your manners all at the same time." This description fits the score to the brilliant film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to a T. The entire flow of classic composer Jack Nitzsche's soundtrack is delightful. Every piece of music sparks a different emotion. Definitely of equal caliber to the film. If you're in need of music for pleasure, Jack Nitzsche's score to "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" will do the trick."

Excellent soundtrack

"Excellent soundtrack. The songs with symphony music are really relaxing. I especially like the song called Bus Ride to Paradise because when I play it in my car I can picture in my mind what happens in the movie when I hear this song. Also I guess it makes me feel like I'm taking a car ride to paradise with Jack. Ha Ha. I also like the songs that have the Hawaiian sound to them."
