Plaza Mayor Company Ltd release Olivier Mellano's original score for Paradise (L'oiseau de Paradis) and while I'm sure it adds much to the onscreen movie magic, it just sounds a little dull when listened to in isolation.

It's really just a collection of disjointed sounds, which seem to act as music cues. And there are far to many sound bytes from the film that creep in.

Honesty, I'm sure this is incredible in the movie, but that's where it should stay. Why anyone would want to own this as a standalone album is beyond me.
