"Those of you who liked the musical background of the Titanic will enjoy the relaxing music of The Spitfire Grill. Although a lesser known film, the movie and the soundtrack are a masterpiece. Although the piano on certian tracks isn't exactly going to put Van Morrison and Tori Amos out of buisness and one can find better flute melodies, this is certianlly a unforgettable purchase.Everytime I hear the Uncertain Future/Main Title I get lulled and very connected to the chords. In a way, this CD betters Titanic. On Hannah's Fall we hear the tempest of the storm, and on Open For Buisness you get the saying, "Come on, it's time to go!" flying in your head. Very sound before you go to work.I have nothing but good things to say. If you saw the movie, liked it, you'll love this soundtrack. Even if you don't like all instrumental music, this still is a unique buy that will gather no dust on your cd-rack."

Well done

"I was forced to put in a review after seeing the one-star review by "A. Ethan." It's so absurdly stupid to review a product poorly because one purchased a clearly-labeled movie score when he wanted a completely different album. Like reviewing McDonald's poorly because you wanted to go to Ruth's Chris. Spend more time in literacy class."

Music to make your spirit soar!

"I discovered the stage musical version of THE SPITFIRE GRILL while researching a show to direct for our local community theatre. I fell in love with the script and the music, and then ordered the DVD of the movie on which the musical was based. What an amazing film! If you haven't seen it, do! It only stoked the fires of my passion to bring the musical to stage, which I'm happy to say will happen in February 2010! In the meantime I plot and scheme and make notes as I read and reread the script and listen to the CD of the stage musical over and over. When it's time to unwind and relax and open myself up to inspiration, it's this movie soundtrack to which I turn. I have long been a fan of James Horner, and this score is, in my opinion, Horner at his best! He brings to life the characters, the moods, the sights, the FEELING of Gilead in a way that stirs one's emotions... to tears in places and to soaring heights of joy in others. You do not, however, need to be familiar with THE SPITFIRE GRILL - movie OR musical - to be transported by this music. Whether you listen while you meditate, while you create (write, paint, draw, dance...), or as a backdrop to your day, it will touch you. I do not often buy music soundtracks. This one, I am buying in bulk to gift to friends. You will not regret making the purchase for yourself."
