Breakfast on Pluto { Original Soundtrack }

Breakfast on Pluto follows the exploits of Patrick "Kitten" Braden, an endearing but deceptively tough young man. Abandoned as a baby in his small Irish hometown, and aware from a very early age that he is different, Patrick survives a harsh environment with the aid of his wit and charm, plus a sweet refusal to let anyone or anything change who he is. Apart from a few moments of piano music composed by Jordan's daughter, Anna Jordan, the film avoids a conventional score. Album Description

fun

I had enjoyed this slightly odd movie, and the music is just so much fun, many of the tracks I have uploaded into my ipod for workout music, they are upbeat and keep you going. The track sung with Cillian Murphy..was a huge incentive to buy =) November 30, 2008

Pluto excellent

Great for us baby-boomers. But surely the music must appeal to all age groups- and it's from a delightful film. November 9, 2006

A Four Star 'Breakfast'

Although some of the songs on this soundtrack aren't nearly as good as the others, it's well worth it for the ones that stand out. This is not your typical soundtrack with popular songs that everyone will know - in fact, the best ones are those that I hadn't heard before.
Highlights - 'Sugar Baby Love' 'Good Looking Woman' 'Breakfast on Pluto' 'Sand' 'Children of the Revolution' and 'Wig Wam Bam'
This is definitely a great soundtrack as far as soundtracks go and worth more than what it costs in dollars. July 28, 2006

The good songs are missing

The soundtrack to this movie was ecclectic and truly great. The movie mixed Gavin Friday rockers with Van Morrison's Madam George with The Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth and added several really great songs by virtual unknowns. Unfortunately, whoever selected the songs for this CD thought commonplace marginal songs like Patti Page's How much is that doggie in the window or Bobby Goldsboro's Honey was the key to capturing the essense of this movie. It boggles the mind. There are a few good songs on the CD like Sugar Baby Love,Children of the Revlolution and a Gavin Friday or two song but It's unfortunate that you can't get all of the really good songs from this movie and have to settle for watching the movie so that you can hear snippits of the best songs in the movie....but I'd rather do that than listen to dribble like Morris Alberts Wedding fare, Feelings.

Anna Jordan Strings Together a Strand of Stars

Anna Jordan is the one to whom this outstanding musical score for the delightful BREAKFAST ON PLUTO film, a story about a young Patrick 'Kitten' Jordan who lives his misunderstood life in the 1970s as though he were out somewhere in the cosmos, is attributed. Actually Jordan contributes some fine original music to the flow of the film, but her biggest contribution is her selection of oldies but goodies from the 60s and 70s that capture the aura of Neil Jordan's fine and sensitive adaptation of the Patrick McCabe novel.

For those of us who were a part of that musical period this recording will serve as a collection of many favorites placed in a sequence that is endearing. The Rubettes version of 'Sugar Baby Love' floats along with Joe Dolan's 'You?re Such a Good Looking Woman' and Harry Nilsson's 'You're Breakin' My Heart' and 'Me and My Arrow', while Patti Page croons 'Doggie in the Window', Dusty Springfield offers 'The Windmills of your Mind', and Morris Alberts gives us 'Feelings'.

The CD is well recorded and the positioning of the songs is excellent for easy and memorable listening. Not being one who usually goes for soundtracks of films (with a few notable exceptions), this recording is full of songs that bring back many good memories and they are not tampered with to try to update them. A good buy, this. Grady Harp, April 06 April 22, 2006
