MUSIC Soundtrack Magnolia Reprise
The album's haunting first single, "Save Me," ponders emotional rescue, with Mann begging to be liberated from "the ranks of the freaks who suspect they can never love anyone." Mann's folk-pop provides an appropriate backdrop for her deep, probing lyrics. The soundtrack also contains two gems from Supertramp, a flashback to the early '90s with Gabrielle's "Dreams," and the movie's instrumental theme by Jon Brion. But, in the end, it is Mann's work that carries this disc to greatness. Anderson's movie has quite a task in living up to the expectations created by this masterful soundtrack. A -- ANDREW P.
