Ghost is a 1990 American romantic fantasy thriller film starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Goldwyn, and Rick Aviles. It was written by Bruce Joel Rubin and directed by Jerry Zucker. The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Score and Best Film Editing. It won the awards for Best Supporting Actress for Goldberg and Best Original Screenplay for Bruce Joel Rubin. Swayze and Moore both received Golden Globe Award nominations for their performances, while Goldberg won the BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Saturn Awards in addition to the Oscar. The music for Ghost was written by veteran composer Maurice Jarre. The soundtrack also featured the 1955 song "Unchained Melody", composed by Alex North with lyrics by Hy Zaret. That song appears in both instrumental form and in the 1965 recording by the Righteous Brothers. Jarre's score was nominated for the 1990 Academy Award for Best Original Score. The soundtrack album was issued on Milan Records (and licensed to Varèse Sarabande for North American release); it was subsequently reissued in 1995 with two extra tracks.

I think that the reason that this cd has not been rated very highly by previous reviewers, is that most of them bought it for the song 'Unchained Melody' and were then disapointed that there were no other songs in that genre. What people fail to realise is that this is a cd of the motion picture soundtrack. It is not a Righteous Brothers album. If you are not a fan of movie scores, then don't buy this album. But if you do like movie scores then I am sure you will appreciate the depth and beauty of this music. As a bonus, the booklet features an insightful essay on Maurice Jarre as well as the making of 'Ghost'. Also, each track has in-depth info about the place it had in the movie, and what was going on while the music was playing, so you can actually relive the film in your mind. Let me quote a little from the notes on 'Carl'…."..An electronic drone becomes more agitated as Carl pounds at his computer, Jarre tapping a synthesizer key along with a computer screen that laughs at the villain's desperation. Later Carl sits alone in his office…Sam pushes a chair across the room. The electronics begin to drone menacingly…Jarre's music becomes a flurry of computer notes as 'Sam' scrolls endlessly across the screen…" This is just a small example of how the track-by-track notes describe the music. Also, seeing the movie after listening to this album, makes the film even more enjoyable and exciting. Also, the booklet contains many photos from the film. And as if all of that isn't enough, this cd is now remastered with 2 bonus tracks that were not on the original release…'Fire Escape' and 'Oda Mae & Carl'. Yet another plus, and well worth the price in itself, is the beautiful love theme of Sam and Molly. Featured throughout the soundtrack, it is finally let loose in all its symphonic glory in the 'End Credits' after the orchestral version of 'Unchained Melody'.

Review by Gilly Bean, Amazon.com

It's hard to associate anything related to the movie Ghost without thinking of Demi Moore, sexually suggestive pottery, or the song "Unchained Melody." Moore and the controversial pottery aside, the tale of promised love and protection became a hit in 1990 partly because of the prominent use of "Unchained Melody" during several scenes in the film. As a story, Ghost is not the typical romantic comedy, hindered by death, melancholy, and remorse. And yet, the mysticism of Sam and Molly's love story was partly elevated to the level of cult status by the film's music. The score rises from the depths of Maurice Jarre's long and storied career, and many casual fans will be able to recognize Jarre's own theme for the film along with the major song adaptation. Some people forget that "Unchained Melody" was written for the film Unchained by composer Alex North, and the offshoot of that original instrumental writing was the Righteous Brothers performance that became famous for decades to follow. The use of the Righteous Brothers song in the film, while definitely the reason why masses of the world's population rushed to the stores for many years to buy the album, is even overshadowed by North's own instrumental version of the "Unchained Melody" theme, which is more true to the original spirit of the composition and appears in the film as well. Film score collectors can make fun of pottery all they want, but nothing will cause Jarre's effort to stand at the same level as the song. That said, Jarre's score is an interesting study in and of itself, combining an early North-like orchestral simplicity of lofty string theme with an often curious and disjointed effort to fill in the remainder of the underscore with electronics. The resulting combination is one that fans found displeasing to an extent on album, causing Ghost to become one of the easiest used-CD bin finds in the history of soundtracks (and a price of $1 for new copies in the 2000's). Aside from saying that North's instrumental version of the "Unchained Melody" song is equal to the vocal performance, there isn't much that can be said about the song that isn't already widely known.

Jarre's score is the surprising element for many first time listeners to Ghost. Nominated for an Academy Award on the back of the song, Jarre's score featured an equally romantic orchestral theme, one which has received enough airtime that casual listeners may even recognize it as well. Unfortunately, Jarre only hints slightly at the theme for the majority of the score until, during the end titles, he finally presents a four-minute suite performance of the lush orchestral idea in all its glory. Its harmonic grandeur harkens back to the expansive days of Lawrence of Arabia for Jarre, and offers perhaps the last great theme of his career. While the composer has been active for many years following Ghost (and writing strong material), he has never again achieved the same mainstream appeal. Not much in the positive category can be said of the tense material, however, which consists mainly of broken action cues and a great length of unpleasantly grinding and droning electronic effects. Without any knowledge of the film, a listener to the album could very well be confused into believing that score is for a horror mystery, which wouldn't be too far from the truth, depending on your opinion of the film. The dissonance and obnoxious synthesized clangs of this underscore continue for lengthy sequences, causing the album to drag significantly in its middle portions. The tone of Jarre's shallow samplings is badly dated, too. In fact, without Jarre's "End Credits" and the instrumental adaptation of "Unchained Melody," a two-star rating would result for this score. The music has been released twice on album, first in 1990 by Varèse Sarabande (an album which became an all-time top seller for the label), and then remastered with seven extra minutes of Jarre's score in 1995 by Milan Records. The additional material may not be stellar, but the remastering and additional packaging give the more recent Milan album the edge (though this may be a moot point given that the Varèse Sarabande album is out of print). At any rate, Ghost is a very mixed bag, with one grand, new orchestral theme and one great song surrounded by mediocre underscore. Mainstream buyers should be aware that neither Ghost album is a collection of period songs similar to the Righteous Brothers performance.
