Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A masterpiece composition with excellent editing!.......2002-02-21

Having enjoyed the DVD version for some time now, I finally decided to add the CD Soundtrack to my collection. This has become a prized posession. I was not prepared for the richness of sound within almost all songs. Although Egypt is the common theme, an intricate variety of instruments blend very well with the predominant western orchestral performance.
And if that were not enough, there is the editing which makes this worthwhile for the audiophile. The imagery of sound and the separation of the instruments is a true jewel.
This CD has my highest recommendations!

5 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack.......2002-01-25

I saw the film at an IMAX type theatre, and it was great! So that makes the sound track so much better! The opening piece and the closing piece are both very moving, and it makes me think of the opening scene where you are flying over the Nile from it's source in Southern Africa to Egypt.

4 out of 5 stars More mystery than adventure..........2002-01-03

I got this CD after listening to the sampling of track 1, which has quite rythmic native drum beat underlying it. But on all subsequent tracks, the music becomes much more subdued and etherial. Atmospheric...like walking into a pyramid or dig site, kind of. Not exactly my thing, but track 1 is nice. :)

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Outstanding!.......2001-02-07

At the risk of sounding somewhat biased; as I'm prone to be partial to all things Egyptian, this albumn is one of the best works I have ever heard. Seldom does something reach into my being to the point where I feel chills up and down my arms. This certainly did that. You can sit back, close your eyes, and imagine you're attending court in Ramses palace with a warm breeze blowing in from the nile. Don't pass this one up!
