Album Notes Composer: Elliot Goldenthal. The 2007 movie musical ACROSS THE UNIVERSE celebrates beloved songs by the Beatles in the context of a fictional romantic tale from director Julie Taymor. Anchored by young love-struck characters named Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), the film features the cast, which also includes Joe Cocker and U2's Bono, performing Fab Four tunes with great gusto. Among the many highlights of the soundtrack are Sturgess's emotive rendition of the title track, Cocker's stomping version of "Come Together," and an energetic take on "I Am the Walrus" by Bono and the Secret Machines. Like Cirque du Soleil's LOVE show, UNIVERSE presents Beatles classics cast in a dramatic light, giving the album a wide appeal with its boisterous, Broadway veneer. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews Great c.d. This item arrived fast and my kids and I just love the music. Good seller. Fast shipping and good mailing. Thanks Review ID: 10000000007970614 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 07/13/08 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. I absolutely loved the movie itself, especially the music, the way it's changed and put together. I think most of the cast are excellent singers. Because I loved the movie, I was surprised at the differences in the soundtrack. The deluxe edition has all songs on it, so make sure you get that one. The origional one only has one cd and is missing many songs. The big difference in the music is the background music. It has been changed a bit the background music can sometimes drown out the singing. All in all, I would recommend it and buy it again. If this is helpful to you, please let me know!

All the songs from the movie are on this CD. The only song that is not on the cd set is "I want you". The songs are in order according to their place in the movie as well, which I really like. Simply put, if you loved the movie, Across the Universe, then you'll love this cd! Review ID: 10000000007411539 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
