 Sheer Brilliance Apr 02, 2001
By Moshe Reuveni
I have this CD for many years now, and I still find it as one of the best soundtracks ever, featuring great pieces of classical music with a Celtic flavor (and some electronics to spice things up).But the reason this CD holds the test of time is that it is an awesome hi-fi recording. I have been using it as one of my test CDs for quite a time, and it can tell you a lot about a system's low frequency reproduction capabilities, as well as being a good test for dynamic range and visceral impact (my favorite test track is "The Hit", by the way). A tour de force by both composer and recorder.

If you like celtic music, you'll love this soundtrack! Aug 10, 2000
By D. Hunter
After watching the movie, I kept thinking about the soundtrack... Then when I got the CD, I was not disappointed! Highlights include "Harry's Game" (If you remember the movie, it was the song playing on the TV) and the intro and exit songs are some of the best on there. This CD is very easy to listen to.

Listen to the Music, then watch the movie again Jul 24, 2002
This is such a great cd. It makes great background music when studying or entertaining. The one thing that really made me appreciate the music and the movie even more, was watching the movie after having listened to the cd several times. I had the cd almost memorized, when I watched the movie for the first time in several years, wow, you really have a better appreciation for both, and for Horner's work.

One of the most exciting soundtracks you'll ever own Oct 13, 2004
By D. Collier
"Shelf-Help"
One of the most common complaints about James Horner is that all his stuff sounds alike. Perhaps, in general, but he was at the very top of his "game" for this one. PATRIOT GAMES really is one of the most exciting and fun-to-listen-to soundtracks I've ever heard.
In addition, the score boasts a fast musical pace, and mixed in throughout is a wonderful blend of Irish/Celtic themes and a couple of songs sung by the Irish singing family Clannad (which formerly included the world-renowned Enya) including what is perhaps their most famous piece "Harry's Game".
This soundtrack is perfect reading music, because it is intermittently fast-paced and peaceful and relaxing. Even if you haven't seen the film, if you enjoy Irish instrumental music, you will not be disappointed with this purchase.
