Product Description

From Amazon.com

Spike Lee's powerful rumination on the last 24 hours of freedom of a young convicted felon (Edward Norton) before he serves a seven-year prison sentence that will forever change his life is charged with melancholy regrets--and slim hopes of redemption. Longtime Lee collaborator Terence Blanchard's haunting score was deservedly nominated for a Golden Globe for the stark, sophisticated way it colors a challenging story with music that's at once haunting and achingly introspective. Blanchard's orchestral music here may at first seem like his most obvious bowing to symphonic film-scoring traditions. But as it masterfully turns on a difficult emotional axis of despair and apprehension, its sad string passages and wordless arias can evoke both the Celtic and the Middle Eastern, then melt into loping jazz signatures in a heartbeat. It's a brooding, elegantly sophisticated soundtrack that pays only occasional tribute to Blanchard's rich jazz accomplishments, but one that dramatically underscores his true range and dramatic potential as a film composer. --Jerry McCulley

people to discuss what colleges are good and what aren't, I'm glad that you went to Yale man, It is a great school, I'm sure you worked really hard through many obstacles to get there, or, you pulled it off Bush style, whichever way, it really doesn't matter, what matters is what you think about the music on this CD, I personally enjoyed this very much, it is one of my favorite in not my favorite score out there, to all the people who wanted the soundtrack, sorry, not here, this is perfect for people who have an appreciation for scores, it is very different from traditional orchestra scores, it has that certain jazzy/world music sound to it, every track on here is beautiful but right now, my favorite is the "Open Title", it just takes all the aspects of the entire soundtrack and places it into one song, give it a shot, but remember, this is not the soundtrack, this is the score
