 A story of healing July 27, 2008
I found the movie healing and amazing. Your family will enjoy the story. The message of Christ was spiritual. Why don't we see? Everytime, Ashael appeared the symbolism was amazing. Bravery to be valiant, a happy and good life, and learn what you can. WWI, a time of pain, lose of meaning, and darkness transcended by the spiritual realm of purpose, power, and design.
Gregson-Williams is powerful and original - yet editing could have been better July 13, 2008

I love Harry Gregson-William's soundtracks - he has a fresh, original method of composing which is exciting to listen to. When I saw Prince Caspian, several things he does with the music hit me as genius, and I instantly bought the soundtrack.
And there is my "yet." Like many soundtracks, it seems the editing process was more of a "sampling" of the music in Prince Caspian - which is irritating to no avail! For example, the theme that caught my attention most of all was the mouse's theme, with the muted trumpet. What a great choice! Yet the soundtrack only slightly alludes to the theme - twice - whereas the movie contains an extended solo during the raid on the castle. The track named after that event doesn't even contain a snippet of that theme - for shame!
It is reminiscent of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, in which the theme of the movie can be found ONCE. While in Prince Caspian you can hear the main theme (hundreds of times), additional colour and texture the composer so brilliantly entwined into the music of this movie has been excluded from the soundtrack.
Although I still recommend it, I will always be frustrated at the soundtrack-editing process. It makes no sense to me.
Good addition to the original July 10, 2008

This soundtrack makes a good addition to the soundtrack of the first Narnia movie. Some of the music seems the same, but with slight variations.
Get music for a so-so movie July 5, 2008

I buy just about every soundtrack that comes out and listen to them all over and over again. I can tell you that this is one of the top 5 soundtracks of the year, no question. It is dark, yet emotional. The music really captures the film and allows you to remember the film with each passing minute, which is one of my top criteria for a top-notch soundtrack. If you are a big fan of great soundtracks, this is one for you. I can tell you that the movie itself would not get more than 3 stars out of this reviewer.
 OK July 4, 2008

This soundtrack is reasonably good with two really worthwhile songs.
Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of tunes that are just instrumentals unless they are extremely well done. Most of the tracks here fall in that category. Much of this album is really just mediocre and very similar sounding.
I bought it for the Switchfoot song, 'This Is Home', which is very good. There is also one by Regina Spektor that is quite good.
This is really kind of a ripoff. I really would have just bought the Switchfoot song probably on Amazon or ITunes. Unfortunately, that is not possible. Although one can purchase most of the singles as digital downloads on those two sites, that is not the case with the really good songs that I mentioned above. In order to buy 'This Is Home' or 'The Call' digitally, one must buy the whole album. Methinks that stinks.
I would recommend passing on this one. I don't care to reward record companies that engage in such practices.
