Wow... What A Movie and Soundtrack. BUT!.......2007-07-22

I like some of the tunes in this movie soundtrack. The movie is so sweet and wholesome in a lot of ways. I even watched the movie twice in one sitting. It really touched my heart. Gosh, I'm so deeply in love with Lynn-Holly Johnson. Who isn't, right? I feel like a kid with a big crush. The only thing that was really disappointing was all the foul mouth cussing. I'm sure some will find that funny and have a good chuckle. As a partially some what of a decent Christian. I did find the G.D.'s a bit overboard. I lost count at a certain point. Yes, it was loaded. I don't want to discourage anyone from buying the movie. I'm just disappointed that the writer, and other decision makers allow that sort of verbage in an almost wholesome family entertainment movie. Okay, enough bickering. I was upset, and had to vent off some steam. Get the movie and sountrack. I still recommend it. If the foul mouth cussing bugs you. Try and ignor it, and enjoy the rest of the movie. It is a really touching movie. Go for it. Enjoy! :)

One Of The Most Beautiful Soundtracks Ever.......2006-01-09

It's funny that I say this, but I consider "Ice Castles" one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever. For starters, Marvin Hamlisch created -along with lyricist Carole Bayer Sager -a very touching song with 'Through The Eyes Of Love', and I wouldn't want to forget the tremendous instrumental arrangement on track 5 of the CD, with that spectacular trumpet writing at the end. It's just sublime and marvelous.
Of course, since we are looking at a movie that tells the story of a young female skater who suffers a mishap that leaves her blind, Hamlisch's music is more focused on the source music for the skating numbers -as well as the track composed and performed by Alan Parsons -and that makes this album a great listen. There are also a couple of incidental tracks like 'They Threw Flowers' and 'Learning Again', which I consider dramatically powerful.
So let's face it: This is a beautiful CD. You can relax while listening to it.

Loved it since 1979!.......2005-01-14

I saw the original movie as a senior in high school and absolutely loved it. It was only recently that the movie and soundtrack were easy to find. (I still have an original Beta tape of the movie from the early 80's.) If you've never seen the movie, buy the DVD, watch the movie, and if you love what you hear, but this CD! Great to listen to in the car during your commute home from work.

Such a beautiful CD.......2004-02-14

I guess I am biased as Through the Eyes of Love was my first dance at my wedding. But that song makes the CD worth it! The song is just absolutely gorgeous -- lyrics and instrumental!

Great CD.......2001-05-22

Awesome......Truly Awesome...............2003-09-26

I just received this CD and it is truly a unbelievable collection of music. Larry Heard headed in a different musical direction from his legendary godfather of house reputation.This is actually a remastered version of Sceneries not Songs Vol Tu (1995). (Forget about it ! You will never find the original release) Although this is not house music it's a mixture of ambient with elements of jazz and house that takes the listener on a breath-taking journey. Although the remix may seem a tad long (13 min +) I love it. Get this CD. This is a Larry Heard Masterpiece!

A unique sound - mellow and jazzy.......2001-01-27

Other people seem to be very familiar with the name Larry Heard, with house music often being mentioned in the same sentence - the only one of his albums I've come across is this one, and house music is the last thing that comes to my mind when listening to this. The sound of the music as a whole is incredibly mellow and easy-listening, with a strong jazz element and slightly cheesy, though not off-putting, edge that stems from the synth instruments and melody loops - I might even say some tracks are a bit...romantic. The percussion is conventional stuff, mostly slow breakbeat, and some dance tracks thrown in for good measure. I love this album - it has to be said. As a recommendation, I gave it a score of 4, because it is a tad repetitive, and I can see it might not be for everyone. To me however, the unique, calming sound has given me a soft spot for it, and as such it has sentimental value to me.

MELLOW TECHNO.......1999-06-24

This is a stunningly beautiful cd. Music you can "chill out" to but with just enough "beats" that you don't end up snoozing. No vocals, just great synth instumentals. I enjoy listening to it while surfing the net. Larry Heard's cds are hard to find in the states so the extra $ are well worth it.
