We would all be well advised to approach the CD bin marked
"Shows/Soundtracks" with a full understanding of the real nature of
movie sound track releases.  Unless the packaging clearly indicates
to the contrary, movie music is almost always (99% of the time) a
"form-follows-function kind of acoustical wallpaper" purely in support
of screen business.  To expect otherwise is to anticipate that water will
freeze at 72 degrees Fahrenheit.  Masterful screen composers such as John
Williams, Bernard Hermann, Korngold and others also write/wrote classical
music but never pretended that their dramatic music for the silver screen
was anything other than what it was, background for films.
