Madres paralelas : banda sonora original

"It's inexplicable to me, why this keeps happening, but there's just something about Alberto Iglesias's music that acts as a barrier between me and it. I find his music very static, almost inert, to the point where I just find myself unable to connect with the emotions he is trying to convey. Technically there's absolutely nothing wrong with it; in fact, I would go as far as to say from an actual compositional point of view it's very good - clearly, the Spanish film industry adores him, and he is revered as one of the greatest Spanish film music composers of all time. I don't really have the technical knowledge to explain why his music fails to engage with me, but it does, and I have simply come to accept that Iglesias is one of my blank spots".
