Synopsis

Amazon.com

Director Wes Anderson's jewel of a comic-character study revolves around the quirks and obsessions of Bill Murray's titular Cousteau-esque deep-sea adventurer and his motley crew of associates. As they did for the director's equally sublime Royal Tenenbaums, Anderson and music super Randall Poster stitch their eclectic source material into a warm, subtly focused new cinemusic whole. Mark Mothersbaugh's original Casio-baroque cues are the perfect complement for Australian film composer Sven Libaek's compelling slices of vintage exotica, while Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie largely provides the musical subtext, either directly or in earnest, through live acoustic renditions by Brazilian troubadour/film costar Seu Jorge. Seasoning the mix to near perfection are smart, vintage Britpop contributions by Scott Walker and the Zombies, Iggy and the Stooges thrashing "Search and Destroy," the evocative Iberian fire of Paco DeLucia, and Joan Baez's dramatic read of Morricone's Sacco & Vanzetti theme, "Here's to You." -- Jerry McCulley

ENJOY!"

The best movie soundtrack since Garden State

Matthew Buck | Chicago, IL, United States | 01/04/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I absolutely loved Garden State's soundtrack, and TLA's soundtrack is like GS's quirky big brother. I for one would like to commend Seu Jorge's singing. He has an amazing voice, and add that to the range of acting he already displayed in Ciudad de deos we know that he is a force to be reckoned with. The weird thing, I never really loved Bowie, but Seu Jorge just turns the Bowie songs out in a whole different way. Acoustic covers! He's like the Brazillian Colin Hay, or something. I didn't miss the Sigur Ros song, and the song that Murray Dances to in his wetsuit is called "Ping Island Lightning Strike Rescue" on the album. It's not by Devo, its by Mark Mothersbaugh, and it's fully rocking. Surprisingly this album has good bass, and really a good breadth of subject matter. %100 worth your cash."

Excellent overall.

"When I first saw this movie, I knew I had to have the soundtrack. Mark Mothersbaugh is a genius, and I loved the little bits with Seu Jorge playing guitar and singing in the movie, so I figured if the soundtrack CD gives me at least those two things, it will be well worth my money. Well, let me tell you, this CD gives that and more. There's only one song missing from this CD, but it's easily downloadable from a site mentioned in a previous review of this same CD. I say that if you thought the music in the movie was good, you'll like this CD."

Where is the music?

"I think that The Life Aquatic is very well one of the best films I have seen in a very very long time. What made the film so great, was the music. It was fun, quirky, and moving in all the right places. My complaint is this: Half the music in the film, is not in the soundtrack. All the little strange electronic songs that were scattered throughout the movie are not in on here. HOWEVER, the soundtrack by itself is great anyway, and I love it. I just really wish that the little songs that glued the movie together had made it on."

One of the best soundtracks of recent years

FairiesWearBoots8272 | USA | 02/07/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"There are a handful of movie directors who truly excel at combining music with images: Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Cameron Crowe, Jim Jarmusch, P.T. Anderson and of course Wes Anderson. In particular, Wes Anderson and Cameron Crowe seem to be music buffs who also happen to make movies. Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is one of my favorite soundtracks of the last few years. It's a really odd mixture of songs that wouldn't make sense being together if they weren't in the same movie. If you've seen the movie, you will undoubtedly remember Seu Jorge's Portuguese performances of David Bowie classics such as Changes, Ziggy Stardust, Rebel Rebel and Life on Mars. Not all of them are included on the soundtrack, but several are here. In addition to Seu Jorge, there are wonderful tracks by Joan Baez, The Stooges, and David Bowie himself. The compositions by Mark Mothersbaugh are really good and stand up well to rest of the music. I'm a rock and blues kind of guy, so typically this kind of music wouldn't appeal so much to me. However, something about the music and the movie all just clicks together. Wes Anderson is a really talented director who really knows his music and his choices are always perfect. I love the end credits with Bowie's wonderful Queen Bitch. Certainly this soundtrack will not appeal to most people. Like the movie, it's probably desinted for cult popularity. However, fans of the movie and fans of Wes Anderson should definitely check it out for a quirky, offbeat musical experience."
