    There’s pretty good music when they running through the central park. Who composed that? Can’t find it anywhere!

    I think the commenter from 8/2/06 was referring to "For Bronte" which actually is on the soundtrack, but as with most soundtracks, when you hear the music "pure"-with nothing distracting you such as action or foley sounds, it sounds almost unrecognizable. Very often only samplings of a song make it into the movie. I was most disappointed that some agreement wasn’t made to allow the Enya tracks to be at covered (at least) on the CD-it spoiled the experience for me. Overall the music is great.

    I found some interesting music references in this movie (like The Holiday).
    Gerard Depardieu’s character is a composer, so in a scene he plays ‘9am Central Park’ on piano… and he often hums Zimmer’s theme, eventually he sent his(Zimmer’s?) messy handwriting score of that theme to a girl… :D

    By the way, it seems my favorite track ‘Greenhouse’ wasn’t used in the movie :(
