 A Diamond Constantly Above the Crowd May 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
It's good to see the renewed interest in Neil Diamond's work. Although most people know him via his hits during the 60s, 70s and early 80s, this album is completely different from most of his other recordings.
I heard this album the first time a few years after its release and despite a young age got hooked on it. It has a majestic feel all over, as if it flew over the musical landscape of its period, and probably would do the same even if being released today. One could claim that it gave signals of the new age sound that later developed. In other words, it has aged remarkably well.
Anyone who has any of his compilations and actually listens to them should not let this Jonathan Livingston pass them by. Even those who do not have any interest in Diamond's other work may enjoy this album. It is timeless and a constant pleasure.

I waited many years to see this movie as I was a kid when it came out and no one would take me to it. Watch it with an open mind and gain some spirituality. The music is excellent and the message is as good for today as it was then. In a time when special effects rule our movies, this one is all natural.
A great soundtrack March 29, 2008
Neil Diamond was coming off of his last recording for MCA (Hot August Nights) and he spent several years working on this project. It is different than his other earlier recordings but you have to remember that this is a soundtrack for a movie that did nothing at the box office (based on a book that sold well). Anyway, each song flows into the next and the music takes you a lot further than the movie did.
 Wonderful Movie, Crappy conversion to DVD March 12, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read the book and I loved it. Then I heard there was a movie about this, so I did some research and found the movie here at amazon. Reading other reviews, it was clear that the conversion to DVD was poorly done.
Well, the reviews are right. The movie is stunning, the story is beautiful, the photography is spectacular, the Soundtrack great, and the sound... Well, the sound is what took two stars away from my review.
Paramount should be ashamed of letting such a wonderful movie, where the soundtrack is basically half of everything, being release with no work at all at the sound quality. Zero, zero. The sound is MONO, and looks like somebody took an old voice recorder into the movie theater hidden in his pocket and recorded the whole thing.
I think this movie deserved a little more time and money dedicated to create a better package.
But still, the movie is worth it. I will complain at Paramount's site about this.
Etherial! January 29, 2008
The soundtrack from Johnathan Livingston Seagull is one of the most beautiful, relaxing celebratory of life CDs I have ever heard. I took my brother's record album when we were young, and I have missed the music since my record collection was ruined in the rain. I would have paid more for this beautiful music.
