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."
