5 out of 5 stars F*** Heineken, ERASERHEAD.......2005-05-01

umm...David Lynch's movie...beautiful/horrifying, introspective/alienating, creepy as f*ck, thought provoking, wicked. I've never been this awestruck and emotionally evoked in my life. The movie is excellent... but the soundtrack is otherworldly. Natural noise emantes and shocks the soul through this difficult yet wonderous film (film, not movie!) and culminates with the celestial song, "In Heaven." I don't own the soundtrack, but the one "real" song "In Heaven" is worth every penny you're likely to spend. The Pixies have covered it several times--both "Black" Francis and Kim Deal (the last time i saw them, she opened with it solo and it was retaaaaded)--and if there's a veryifying source of good taste, it's gotta be the Pixies! Nevertheless, David Lynch(not alone) crafted the most beautiful and equally creepy song of all time, "In Heaven." "In Heaven, everything is fine, 2X, you've got your good things... and i've/you've got mine..." O my GOD!!!! If this review doesn't convince you, Lynch himself in the Eraserhead DVD, claims that making the soundtrack to this film was the best time in his life! Beautiful...Only a mad genius has a haircut like that...

3 out of 5 stars very little music.......2002-10-31

This album contains very little actual music. The best stuff are the snippets of Fats Waller playing pipe organ. If you want that stuff, go to the source: get "Young Fats at the Organ." It has the complete recordings of all the snippets heard on this CD and you can appreciate them in their true context. They're not creepy, but very beautiful and somber recordings, very much worth listening to. I like this film a lot, and have seen it many times, but I have to admit that this CD is pretty lacking in comparison. Movie =A ; CD =C+

5 out of 5 stars It's the stuff Nightmares are born from..........2002-06-24

Any fan of Music Will enjoy this fine line of the Heavenly and the Horrified. A tuned ear will understand this to be true music and not the [music] we have to indulge in now. Any Back Street boys fan will be on the edge of insanity listening to this masterwork of the Legendary Director, David Lynch.
Most People can't handle the film, Eraserhead, and they close their eyes to the things they see....they're listening to this.
Which happens to be the most unsettling part of the whole trip through Eraserhead. The sounds are too real to be real. They're so odd and rude to the mind of the listener that you may think your insane, and really realizing it for the first time. It's been known to be playing in many suicides. Anything with that much power must be seen, or heard...To be believed. Too incredible for words, It's one of those things you love or hate so much, that your brain makes words that aren't real for the passionate feelings of it.

The words we'll never say.

5 out of 5 stars hmm.......2002-03-23

You know, it's strange how music which has a certain function, instead performs a different one. Just like in circus music, and in lullabies, in the right light they actually sound quite dark and frightening, when they're supposed to give 'happy thoughts'. The organ playing of Fats Waller is no exception. Playing this will remind you of Henry and give a feeling of isolation and alienation. This is the highlight of this already brilliant soundtrack. Haunting stuff.
