5.0 out of 5 stars
Dark and Majestic, Mar 21 2007
By Michael W. Draine - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Soundtrack (Audio CD)
David Julyan's score for THE PRESTIGE was one of the key elements in sustaining the film's foreboding atmosphere, the sense that every victory will be undermined by tragedy. The soundtrack is very dark, but in a beautiful and thrilling way. The ethereal orchestration invites comparison to Brian Eno's darkest ambient endeavors, such as ON LAND, Fripp & Eno's NO PUSSYFOOTING, and "An Index of Metals" from EVENING STAR. As in Eno's ambient music, timbre, harmony, and texture figure more prominently melody and harmony. Perhaps this radical approach is what put some of the other reviewer's off. Julyan's THE PRESTIGE soundtrack is more likely to appeal to connoisseurs of composers such as Gyorgy Ligetti and Krzysztof Penderecki than to listeners accustomed to the heroic fanfares of Jonathan Williams.

Some Calm Down Music, Dec 28 2008
By Q. Pair "Shaman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Soundtrack (Audio CD)
True, this may not have been the most dazzling soundtrack you ever heard, but The Prestige is good none the less. This is one of those very quiet, chill out type CDs you put on when you put on when you need to slow down. Some reviews for this call it dull, but its all a matter of what you want to hear. The Prestige (movie) is about the mystique and mystery behind the illusion of the so-called magic trick, and the two men's quest to attain it, and the music reflects the tone of the story superbly.
If you go into listening to this CD knowing and liking what you'll be hearing, you'll love it. I know I do. 5/5 stars.

A prestigious soundtrack, Mar 27 2007
By H. W. H. Baur - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Contrary to some reviews, this score offers a lot more variety than one might expect - though there's a definite sense of mystery and foreboding to every track. It's unlike any other soundtrack in that it puts the emphasis on atmosphere rather than melody, and if you like the mood of the film, you will certainly enjoy this album.
Highlights are 'A New Trick', featuring a more positive, almost optimistic feel; 'Man's Reach Exceeds His Imagination', with the most bold statement of the main theme, and 'Sacrifice', in which the music reaches an almost terrifying climax.
So if you're in for something different, and you enjoyed the movie - then don't hesitate to buy this mystifying and captivating soundtrack.
