Stunning music - By: , 09 Oct 2004 
A timeless album... I bought it for the song by Sarah McLachlan (Angel) & it was worth it for that one track which is so beautiful that it never fails to make me stop & stare. The rest of the album follows suit, particularly Peter Gabriel (I Grieve). If you like music to think to, this is for you.
Amazing - By: Paul Johns, 13 Oct 2003 A superb album of great songs, many of which are epic 'reflective' songs.
One of the best has to be Angel which is so sad yet so amazing to listen to.
However this song i really do think is the best on the album & one of my favourite songs of all time. Before this album i had never heard of the Goo Goo Dolls.
Iris is a true classic
Excellent - By: , 16 Jan 2003 This soundtrack is pure brilliance. From first class performers, like Alannis Morrisette, U2, Peter Gabrielle & many more. If you havn't seen the film (which is an absolute must) you will still enjoy this soundtrack. There is a bit of an angel themein the songs like Angel - Sarah McLachlan (which is hauntingly beautiful) & If God Will Send His Angels - U2. I Grieve - Peter Gabriel is brilliant, as is most of his work, but leaves you with a bittersweet feeling. All the songs on this album are fantastic & have a varied feeling about them. Its' also nice to see The Goo Goo Dolls as I have not heard of them since I was 15. Generally excellent.
what a stunning soundtrack... - By: phil holmes, 11 Sep 2002 In the movie the soundtrack seems to be rather good. nothing really stunning... until you hear itin isolation.I am a real soundtrack fan- &in the least cases do I appreciate the mix of original songs & musical score. In this case I will make an exception; the mix is perfect. Some great songs & performances ( Sarah leading the way there) with perfect scored themes by Yared.
Not only for soundtrack fans... It is a must for music lovers.
This music feels like a kiss from your guardian angel - By: antonyowe@hotmail.com, 01 May 2002 This soundtrack is so true to the story of the film , it also stands alone as a masterpiece as a sort of concept CD. Anyway the lowdown: Sarah Maclachlan's 'Angel' & Alanis Morissettes 'Uninvited' give virtuoso performances. It's a consistent CD every track is either cool, rocking, or melancholy. The last 4 tracks are my fave by Gabriel Yared who won an Oscar for his score on 'The English Patient' he also scored the music for 'Betty Blue' Messagein A Bottle' & 'The Lover' , The 14th track ( City OF Angels ) is so emotive climaxingin a crescendo of Angels screamingin a mass falsetto of heartbreak & lament.
There is nothing to compare it to with exception to ' Passion / The Last Temptation Of Christ'.
I recommend this to anyone as its musical variation , lyrical consistency , & EFFECT is timeless , buy it today & I can guarantee you will be buying some of the other stuff from the compilation of artists who appear on this soundtrack.
Someone once wrote of Guardian Angels , that it is the flapping of Angels wings that makes our heartbeat & when your heart is broken they take you soul to God so he can reincarnate youin to a new host so you have another chance of finding truelove.
Whoever wrote it must have had this CD.
