My favorite drama score!

"This is the first movie to leave me in tears. Maybe because I feel like Truman at times. What if my life were fake and everyone I know and love are just cardboard cut outs?
Listening to this score brings back the memories and images from the film.
Burkhard Dallwitz's "Its a Life" [Synthesized chorus with soft, electric piano] and "Reunion" [dramatic, sweeping strings] are beautiful and among my favorites. [Note: "Flashback" is a shorter version of "Reunion".]
Philip Glass's "Truman Sleeps" [Piano solo] and the moving "Raising the Sail" [strings and piano] are fantastic!
This album is a wonderful mix of most of the score in the film, including music from other scores used in the film.
The Truman Show soundtrack is truly an album worth having!"
Amazing!

"Though these tracks carry the movie along and give the viewer great background music, by themselves they are without a doubt just as meaningfully and passionatley sounding. Wonderfully composed, with a very interesting and grand sound. One of the best sountracks I have ever seen and heard.
The tracks that were chosen for the album were taken from some scenes with a lot of movement or drama, which the movie is simply packed with anyway. Songs such as "Truman Sets Sail" are able to create a vivid and great picture of a storm, or whatever is happening, without even needing the listener to have seen the movie before.
The soundtrack is simply brilliant. Probably some of the greatest modernly composed music out there."
