Brilliant film, equally brilliant score. However the absense of a few cues of music which I adored from the film detract from my 'listening experience' as it were.
1st. When Michael Sullivan Snr. enters his garage, the night that his son hides in the back of the car. Rain Hammers plays, however, just before this there is a deep, rising string section, this is absent from the soundtrack.
2nd. A variation of the 'Blind Eye' theme, which plays just before Sullivan goes off to kill old man Rooney. It plays from when he opens the Tommy gun case, to when he leaves the room after stroking his sons head. This is a much more mournful variation of the original theme, with a beautful (what I assume is a) cello, fantastic.
Good goin' Thomas Newman. This score, is for the ages.
