Customer Reviews of Birdy
Birdy really Birdy really lets Peter Gabriel show off his skills as a keyboardist (he played his first keyboard an Accodian on the Genesis album Trespass), his playing is all over here. This was Gabriels first time delving deeply into instrumentals (he wrote and played previously only on the Genesis tracks After The Ordeal and Silent Sorrow On Empty Boats as well as Start from his own third album) and he really shows why hes as much a musician/arranger as he is a Singer/Songwriter. The only drawback is that this album lifts musically quite a bit from his former work.
Excellent score! A bit depressing though.
This soundtrack is Peter Gabriel's first foray into movie scores but it is a really good soundtrack that stands on it's own. The movie itself is just amazing and the soundtrack perfectly fits in the weird tone of the movie.
Be warned: The soundtrack is very gloomy and may leave you depressed.
As some are aware of, five of the songs life up parts of tracks from Gabriel's third and fourth CDs and the album label arns that this record contains no lyrics. The remaining seven are extraordinarily haunting and beautiful. My favorite of the retooled older songs is "Birdy's Flight" which lifts up the fast-paced ending minute of "Not One of Us" and giving it a totally different feel altogether.
The best of the original tracks is "Floating Dogs" which is a very scary but beautiful track that becomes a very twisted trancy piece.
Do not let the fact that this is overshadowed by "PassioN". "Birdy" is a really excellent score and should be included in any Gabriel fan's collection.
Beautiful soundtrack!
This first score from Peter Gabriel is a great soundtrack to a great movie. Some of the songs are retooled edits of tracks from his 1980 and 1982 albums. It may not be up there with "Passion" but it is a great soundtrack anyway.
The best song is the odd "Floating Dogs" which is a very scary and odd track. The other best is "Birdy's Flight" which samples "Not One of Us" from PG3.
I wish that this album was longer and/or the songs longer. Still though, there's no reason to pass this one by.
