...and other great soundtracks (ie compilations, not 'scores') in general.

Man, how good is the Kate Bush song on this soundtrack?? I'll tell you how good. REAL good, jack. REAL good.

Yep. Sure is.

P.S. **whispers** Buy some Kate Bush albums. This song is on Sensual World, not one of her better albums, but...get acclimated. Kate fans are legion and we generally plan on taking over the world.

I own this, haven't listened to it in years. Has a unique version of XTC's "Happy Families" and a Dr. Calculus (aka Stephen Duffy) track from an album that deserves to get a proper CD release.

Oh man Bimble, you don't hafta tell me about Kate Bush, I'm a fan for sure. I don't own Sensual World because I came to Kate quite late and, as you say, it isn't one of her best loved albums by any stretch, so I always avoided it because of all I've read. But yeah, I consider myself a hiuge fan of the few albums I do have and always planned on buying them all one day. I have The Dreaming and The Whole Story compilation in the iPod and that usually does the trick.

Yes I know...the XTC...I read about that recently. I don't recall that song making much of an impression when I owned the soundtrack.

Sorry though I would like to hear the Dr. Calculus.

xpost - my wife tells me that Sensual World IS probbaly Kate's best loved album, so what do I know? I always thought Hounds of Love was supposed to be the masterpiece? Hmmmm...

― Manalishi, Sunday, 15 April 2007 21:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah don't listen to her. In fact, banish her from the house. You've either got House of Love or Aerial or Dreaming or you'll just have to resign yourself to not being a true Kate Bush fan. Hahah. Just kidding.

Kristy Maccoll and yes it was

xpost to Bimble, yeah I have all three of those. Jex says Sensual World is the best by a nose but, you know, she's a girl, what does she know?

i just couldn't get into the movie, or the soundtrack, based on the title of the movie alone. i was college age when this came out, and the mere thought of my girlfriend having a baby (or anyone within earshot of my apartment for that matter) gave me the heebie jeebies.

i recall begrudgingly liking some of the songs on it when i heard the ost cd though.

just saw this movie for the first time last week and the music didn't really grab me aside from the entertainment value of the wonky Stewart Copeland score and of course "This Woman's Work," which I'd previously known mainly by the Maxwell version.

I like the Bryan Ferry track (of course).

Gene Loves Jezebel's "Desire" was put to good use in the film, but didn't make the soundtrack.

I saw it last week sometime too, for the first time in many years, and I was surprised at how much dialogue I remembered. Also by how absolutely adorable Elizabeth McGovern was.

(also it's uncredited on that link but "Full Of Love" was done by DR. CALCULUS aka Stephen Duffy)

― nate dogg is a feeling (HI DERE), Monday, 24 August 2009 18:53 (fourteen years ago) link

Hmm... why am I thinking it wasn't on the album?

Maybe I had it confused with "Beat's So Lonely" not being on the SKoW soundtrack.

classic rookie mistake

lol

For some reason, I never had the SHaB soundtrack. I had others (even PTaA), but never that one.
