Anastasia Before the Rain (soundtrack) Label: London Greek flavored (well, really Macedonian, which I'm told is actually a slavic language, but what do I know?) soundtrack music, mostly with a slow, serious mood. There are vocals on many tracks (all in Macedonian). A lot of this sounds like Dead Can Dance when in their "World music" mode. My picks here are indicated with a "*". Chant-oriented vox: * 4 6:59 Red and White - Leads with M/F chorus. Alternates with female vox. *11 2:45 The Circle is Not Round - Nice middle eastern wail piece. 8 2:04 Funeral Theme - Slow heavy beat, deep male choral vox (ho-heave-ho dwarves in the mountain). 9 6:41 Death of Alexander - Leads with Beautiful acapella female vox. A heavy handed dirge. Like Dead Can Dance: * 7 11:13 Pass Over - Slow moody, sounds a lot like Dead Can Dance if Brendan Perry spoke Macedonian. 10 5:38 Coming Back Home 2 - A bit windham hill. 2 8:23 Nine Iron Doors - Begins like bagpipes, goes to male vox. Instrumental: 1 3:26 Time Never Dies - A bit like ambient techno. Gabrielle Roth with touches of Muslimgauze. 6 1:52 In a London Cab - Sparse string instrumental. More Sound-track like: * 3 2:58 Coming Back Home 1 - Starts like sparse soundtrack music, transitions to a Macedonian choral vox. 5 4:27 At the Restaurant - Very Windam Hill. Leads with strings, goes to simple piano. Distributed by Polygram Information about the film can be found at: Before the Rain
