DVD music sucks

I saw the Netflix DVD with music recorded in 2002. I respect the artistry of the music, but it was too repetitious and sparse, especially for such a long movie. Those who like Phillip Glass' music should love this score.
I'm sure I'd enjoy it much more with a more "traditional" silent film treatment, and hope to see it at a film festival.

You may or may not like the music used in this film, or the music of Philip Glass, but to compare the two is folly. One has nothing to do with the other. The only similarity, apparently, is that you don't care for either. Musically they are worlds apart.
