Product Description

From Amazon.com
Bono chose to collaborate with a woefully underappreciated Gavin Friday for the soundtrack to this Neil Jordan film, with stunning results. The title track and "Billy Boola" predate the electronic movement in the states by a few years, but manages to sound vital and contemporary by any standards. Herein are the seeds of what U2 would try to reap on their Pop album. The other important original work is Sinead O'Connor's "You Made Me the Thief of Your Heart," written by Bono and Friday. It is one of O'Connor's most satisfying deliveries, and benefits, as does "Billy Boola," from the incomparable Jah Wobble on bass. --Scott Wilson

5.0 out of 5 stars If you liked the movie, get the soundtrack!, Jun 25 2004
I fell in love with Gerry Conlon and his story, especially when theatrically acted out by Daniel Day-Lewis. The soundtrack is just as awesome as the movie. The first track, In the Name of the Father, is so...unsettling. The deep musical riffs just hit you in the heart. Yea, I know, it sounds dumb, yet it's true. I also like the track Whiskey in the Jar. I am very familiar with the original Irish drinking song, and this more upbeat, modern version of it is great, although it doesn't really pertain to the film. Again, I strongly reccomend this to anyone who enjoyed the movie, or if you are into Irish music, this is definetly a must-have for any collection!

4.0 out of 5 stars EXPOSE PEOPLE TO OTHER RELIGIONS, Feb 27 2004
By James Lacoss "madcow2000" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Good soundtrack with some very notable songs. As for the exposure to other religions being good or bad(gerryedwards), I didn't notice, don't care, and am still Catholic after listening to the soundtrack. A message of love, not religion.
