A Wes Anderson Fan's Review

"I think Wes Anderson (or whoever choses the songs) creates the perfect soundtracks. I purchased this album after owning the Life Aquatic soundtrack. The music on this album is in between Dave Brubeck and Bob James. Although I'm just a music fan, not a hardcore jazz aficionado. If you were only luke warm about the two tracks on the Life Aquatic soundtrack, I would hesitate to buy it. If you are somewhat interested in jazz and like what you've heard already, you will love this album. I also strongly recommend anything by Seu Jorge, who sung five David Bowie songs in Portuguese on the soundtrack."

You NEED to buy this... trust me

"I'm not really a kid, but I didn't want to create an account. In any case, I just bought this at my local record shop today and it is a fantastic album full of warm tones, jazzy orchestrations and fuzzy electronics. The music is a collection of compositions Libaek wrote for four obscure Australian oceanic/nature/surfing films spanning 1965-1974, and it includes a couple of themes used in Wes Anderson's 2004 Life Aquatic film. If you enjoyed the incidental music from Life Aquatic, or are just craving that 60s-70s National Geographic/educational film sound, this is a must-have album to add to your collection."
