Universal Records Should Reissue This CD!
After all the bombast of films like the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" series, many would be forgiven for forgetting that composer John Williams is capable of heartbreakingly beautiful music. In 1989, MCA Records (now Universal records) released two Williams soundtracks that displayed this quality--"Born on the Fourth of July," and this one, from longtime collaborator Steven Spielberg's "Always."
Unfortunately, on both albums, Williams' contributions are only given a scant 22 minutes. The rest of the discs are filled with pop songs used in the movies. Granted, the songs are not bad in and of themselves (JD Souther's version of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is quite enjoyable), but it still seems somewhat unfair that out of at least two and a half hours (two in the case of "Always"), MCA only found twenty or so minutes of Williams' music that was usabe.
Admittedly neither film was a runaway success, but John Williams deserved much better than this.
A standout track is "Dorinda's Solo Flight," which closes both the album and the film. For me, its quiet dignity is a testament to everything that was good about both the movie and the soundtrack.
Note to Universal Records: If you should decide to re-release this one, maybe you could include Slim Gaillard's "Matzoh Balls"?
Nice chick flick...............
Steven, why, why, why? This is total goofy nonsense. Slow, boring, and a waste of time. Where was the shark, aliens, E.T., or the semi? Sweep this one under your carpet bigboy.
