Amazon.com This John Travolta-starring military-themed thriller hardly distinguished itself with critics, who almost universally lambasted its overwrought ambience and painfully obvious plot points; a whodunit that begged the question "why'd ya make it"? But even the most turgid Hollywood fare can have its delightful musical surprises, and that's where The General's Daughter redeems itself. Veteran Carter Burwell turns in a brooding orchestral score that finely underplays the histrionics with subtlety and emotional weight. But it's Greg Hale Jones's ingenious digital reworking of half-century-old Library of Congress remote recordings (made in cotton fields and prisons) of African American folk music and spirituals that's the real revelation here. The opening "Sea Lion Woman" is both haunting and unforgettable, a gratifying reminder that studio alchemy can enhance the humanity of music as well as sublimate it. Minus points for trotting out the cinematically tired Carmina Burana once again; it's enough to make one want to Orff themselves. --Jerry McCulley Product description 1.The Body 2.The Tape? 3.Rachel Rocket 4.Out Of Her Misery 5.The Conspiracy 6.Gonna Rise And Fly 7.All Through The Night 8.The General's End 9.O Fortuna 10.Kent's Story 11.Mighty Good Road 12.She Began To Lie 13.She Began To Lie (Remix) 14.The Hurt Locker 15.Footprints 16.West Point 17.The General's Story 18.Epiphytic Shuffle 19.Congratulations 20.Exercices In Darkness
