Product Review

Given a track record littered by misfired oddities like the Bee Gees starring in the 1978 movie version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, successfully transforming The Beatles' epochal oeuvre into film musicals has been an elusive alchemy. Yet director Julie Taymor's 1968-centered, socio-political romance is more than just a stunning visual achievement. Its soundtrack brings a crucially intimate, emotionally engaging sensibility to its rich catalog of Beatles source material. Using an approach she rightly dubbed "organic," Taymor never gets too ambitious with the original arrangements, balancing the plaintive, often stark performances of central young stars Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood with equally compelling turns by supporting players Carol Woods and Joe Anderson. The stars successfully evoke early Beatlemania via the energetic charms of Sturgess' "All My Loving" and Wood's "It Won't Be Long," then get straight to the canon's often melancholy heart on his take of "In My Life," and her gentle cover of "Blackbird." Taymor's use of star turns--the entire point of too many Beatles-rooted projects--is as sparing as it is deft. Eddie Izzard's effusive "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" is the product of several edited improvisations, while U2's Bono and Edge re-imagine "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" by way of Pink Floyd. Joe Cocker's swamp-dirge "Come Together" shows why he's long been one of the best interpreters of the Lennon-McCartney catalog, and Dana Fuchs alternately evokes the heavenly and hellish via her tender "Dear Prudence," as well as her manic, Joplin-channeling burn through "Helter Skelter." Elsewhere on the CD, Bono teams with Secret Machine for the straightforward "I Am the Walrus," while the Dallas indie rockers also take dream-pop turns on the instrumental "Flying" and George Harrison's haunting "Blue Jay Way." Remarkably, Taymor claims the bulk of the performances here were not lip-synced, but recorded live as the cameras rolled.--Jerry McCulley

Summary: Great remake of old Beatles Songs 2010-07-01
Comment: The sound separation on this CD is phenominal; I wish more CDs played this well; great bass; plus the singers are very good and add a different twist and refreshing voice to these Beatles songs. The DVD is not bad either; a trip down memory lane for us Boomers.
Customer Rating: 2 Star
Summary: missing best song!!!!!!!!!! 2010-04-22
Comment: I purchased this thinking it was all the music from the film. Our favorite song, I Want You, is NOT ON THIS CD SET! The other music is okay, but I have it all already, but sung by the beatles or other artists. The Song I WANT YOU as sung in the movie is NOT on this product. Be Aware!

Summary: Across the Universe 2010-03-25
Comment: I love the music!! It does have a weird sound though. It's a little scratchy, kind of like listening to a record. I don't know if this was a purposeful style decision or a defect with the album. It makes it difficult to listen to loud.
Customer Rating: 4 Star
Summary: Where is " I Want You(She's So Heavy)" 2010-03-05
Comment: Loved the movie and the deluxe edition of the soundtrack. But I was bummed to see that my favorite song from the movie "I Want You(She's So Heavy)" is nowhere to b found in either the regular or deluxe edition. Was expecting it to b on the deluxe edition because it's the Deluxe edition. Although many songs skipped on the regular version r here the omition of that one song takes away a star(bummer).
