I work in a museum with a domed theatre called the "ElectricSky Theater." We have a 70mm projector which covers 2/3 of the dome with the image of the film. The very first film I ran here as a projectionist was Everest. Watching the film over and over again (probably up to 200 times in its showing), I grew tired with the dialogue and even some of the imagery (since I had to watch for rips, burns, tears, and scratches). However, I loved the soundtrack to Everest. It's a must-have for anyone who loves soundtrack adventure scores.

I saw this film when it came out and excitedly bought the soundtrack at the nearby gift shop. The music is great, but the real selling point for me was the final rendition of 'Here Comes the Sun' in the movie. Alas, this version - with new vocals by George Harrison - was not included on the soundtrack. How disappointing!
If you haven't seen the film you won't miss it, but if you have it's kind of obvious. You'll have to see the DVD to hear it.

EVEREST provides a striking soundtrack in accompaniment of the marvelous IMAX movie.
Who better to contribute to this soundtrack than George Harrison, the Beatle whose connections with the part of the world where Everest is are renowned.
Renditions and interpretations of such Harrison classics as ALL THINGS MUST PASS, LIFE ITSELF, THIS IS LOVE, GIVE ME LOVE and HERE COMES THE SUN are found on this album and will become favorites to all who are Harrison fans as well as those who may not have heard them before.
Harrison's music is beautifully complemented by Steve Wood's wonderful score. The album also presents some of the most beautiful flute and chant music that I have ever heard. Just a wonderful album!

A few details aren't described very clearly in the pre-purchase information at Amazon, so I wanted to make them available here. The five George Harrison songs that are featured on this instrumental album include "All Things Must Pass," "Life Itself," "This Is Love," "Give me love," and of course the well-documented "Here Comes The Sun." As those familiar with Steve Wood's masterful projects already know, "Everest" features interpretations and elements of these five Harrison songs, not the unadulterated songs themselves. I hope this helps anyone who might be new to the Steve Wood/Daniel Mays interpretive format. It's worth checking out if you appreciate instrumental records with multi-layered components such as (in this case) a variety of acoustic, stringed instruments and the accentuation of what appear to be genuine Tibetan monk chants. I bought this CD on the strength of Steve Wood's interpretations of Sting as previously manifested on the IMAX soundtracks for "The Living Sea" and "Dolphins." Both of those are undeniably more varied throughout and feature a greater representation of world music, though with a higher concentration on Carribbean themes. "Everest," on the other hand, maintains a strong emphasis--appropriately enough--on the quasi-mystical influences of the far East. If you are a devotee of George Harrison, this is an easy way to get your hands on more of "his" music, including some intelligent variations of his structure.

I very first heard the Everest sountrack during the IMAX film. I wasn't even aware a soundtrack had been released until I stumbled across it at a book and music store. Naturally, I snapped it right up. The music is both hauntingly soothing and uplifting. My favorite track is Track 7: The Spirit Returns, which characterizes the entire score. I personally could live without the inclusion of George Harrison's music, but is aptly applied in the film, and integrates well into the entire score. If you like Everest, also check out Journey into Amazing Caves, another IMAX score by Wood and May, featuring music by the Moody Blues.
