Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Mark Herman's tragi-comedy set among the fictional coal-mining community of Grimley revolves around the exploits of the local colliery's brass band and its struggle to survive imminent pit closure. Among the film's virtues are a bitter-sweet (with an emphasis on "bitter") script, strong performances all round--including Pete Postlethwaite, Tara Fitzgerald and Ewan McGregor--and a superb soundtrack. Grimley's real-life counterpart is the Penine town of Grimethorpe, and, entirely uncoincidentally, the Grimethorpe Colliery Band were chosen to perform the music. Having themselves survived pit closure to become one of the top brass bands in Britain, the Grimethorpe band know all about playing from the heart. But the script's subject-matter aside, the album is actually an uplifting, entertaining selection of classic "lollipops", including the Floral Dance, Colonel Bogey, and a meltingly good arrangement of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez ("That's Orange Juice to you", says Postlethwaite in the movie) for solo flugelhorn. Trevor Jones contributes an attractive and pleasingly low-key score, but it's the band tracks that are the real selling-point here, making Brassed Off an ideal introduction to popular brass band music. --Mark Walker

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brassed Off Sound Track
Excellent product. I really love brass band band music and this CD brought a lump to my throat.

Bridgeoverday


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - OST - Brassed Off
This is a beautiful cd, to accompany the film brassed off.

The film is one based on the mining era in briton, and tells how brass brought people together.

This is a brillient collection. The music is stunning, the pieces are riviting and the instruments are spin tingaling.

Whether Brassed Off is one of your film collection of not, you want this lovely album.

10/10


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A wonderfully evocative soundtrack !
The Grimethorpe Colliery Band has always been one of my favourites, and this soundtrack 'hits the bulls-eye'. As far as I'm concerned, music is primarily a story telling tool, and this score certainly captures the tragi/comedy atmosphere of the film 'Brassed Off'.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Moving soundtrack equal to the film
If you have seen the film then you will understand where this music comes from, the heart and soul of those involved. You may think that the music echoes back to grim days in Yorkshire with flat caps and fish and chips, with chirpy little ditties to keep your spirits up. You will be disappointed, the music is much more than that, it is beautifully performed and executed and moving to listen to, especially when you know the background to the Band is similar to that in the film.
