I agree with you on the music for Thin Red Line. I'm a big James Horner soundtrack fan (Braveheart, Legends of the Fall, among others), but I became a Hans Zimmer fan after buying and listening to the soundtrack for Thin Red Line.It's also an HDCD disk, but unfortunately, some universal players like mine (Marantz) aren't so universal--they don't decode HDCD.
Still enjoyable, nonetheless. Nolte, Penn, Cusack, Caviezel--what's not to like in this outstanding cast? Yea, I dig the ruminating voiceover. Perhaps an acquired taste.

I've enjoyed watching that film because it's based on a real incident, as most of you know. The girl was named Carol Fugate, the guy's real name escapes me now. Big news when I was a kid. I now live in the Wyoming town where they were captured, Douglas. The locals still tell stories of them driving through town at 80 m.p.h. and getting caught out in the boonies somewhere near here and then spending a few days in the county jail a couple of blocks from my house. Okay, what was the kid's name? He eventually went to the electric chair, I believe. Fugate was released a few years ago, I think, after spending 30 or 35 years in prison.
was written by Carl Orff. Street Song is the name of the work adapted for the film, actually they were literal performances of the pieces. Street Song is a collection of short pieces written for Orff instruments, instruments used in schools with young children to teach them the basics of music. Orff instruments and his music for them are still a big thing in Germany, I believe. I once had a Lp of the music and don't think its ever appeared on CD. Enchanting music.
