Editorial Reviews

A children's fantasy like The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep gives free rein to James Newton Howard's most grandiose music impulses -- this kind of project is a perfect fit for the composer's over the top sentimentality and unabashed histrionics, and for all of its excess, it's one of his most creative and heartfelt scores. With its soaring strings, broad melodies, and lush Celtic instrumentation, The Water Horse luxuriates in a kind of mystical otherness essential to Howard's musical vision -- heroic strings, sledgehammer brass, and eruptions of percussion all vie for space in the overstuffed arrangements. Despite its sheer density, the score works: Howard summons a genuine sense of childlike wonder sure to override even the most jaded listener. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

January 18, 2008: This CD is very good. It is very much celtic sounding with a touch of modern classical soundtrack. Tracks Main Title(2), Angus Feeds Crusoe(3), You Didn't Even Get Wet(4), The Workshop(5) are very peaceful and somewhat sad and sweet. In 4 & 5 you can just hear the water sparkling. Bathtub(7) is a little bit mischevious. Driving To the Loch(8) is very nice. Run Angus(9)is sad. The Fishermen(10) is fun. It reminds me of Riverdance. Angus in Training(11) reminds you of someone working and working and working... Swimming(12) is a very nice piece. It has some slow and fast parts and a little bit of choral for a second. The Dinner Party(14) is a very quick song reminds me of a brawl. There's No Monster(15) is one of my favorites. Saving Crusoe(16), The Net(17), and The Jump(18) were very intense with a few sad places. The Water Horse Suite(20) is definately celtic all the way. 1, 6, 13, I did not care for very much. They were sort of boring. , End of the Story(19) was inbetween. It had its nice places. All in all it was a very good soundtrack.
