Music reviews of The Life Aquatic: Studio Sessions
Music Review: David Bowie ala Seu
Rating: 4 Stars
Glad another reviewer pointed out "Seu" is the equivolent to "Mr.", and here I was thinking it was a pretty cool first name. DOH!
Overall, the "Studio Sessions" album a very pleasant breath of fresh air. It shares a similar tone to Nick Drake's "Pink Moon", which is also another outstanding acoustic album. Like many, I was enchanted by the Jorge scenes in "Life Aquatic", which compelled me to check out the soundtrack. Was very glad to see he has a seperate album.
"Changes" and "Quicksand" (never knew it was a Bowie song, as I thought it was a Dinosaur Jr. original the whole time) are my fave tracks, or well, of the ones not already on the original movie score. Jorge's version of "Rebel Rebel" is so sultry...dream-like, it makes me salivate every time I hear it. Perfect tune for nice, soft pillow conversation, if ya know what I mean :)
Only beef I have: Why is "Space Oddity" not on this album? (favorite Bowie song btw). During the movie, I remember jumping out of my seat at in excitement (like YES!) as "Knock-Out Ned" AKA Jorge was sitting, singing and strumming that countdown (5-4-3-2-1), as the Pinoy Pirates made their way to the unsuspecting Belafante. The movie teases, the CD don't deliver and I say DAMN! Man am I salty, esp since a photo of that exact scene is on the back of the jewl case.
Why soundtrack coordinator peoples, why?!?
Like how "Fool on the Hill" and "Light My Fire" were taken and stripped from it's original roots, force fed through a bossa-nova food processor and back to ears of the obsequious, "The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions Featuring Seu Jorge" tribute to David Bowie is like the movie: Blue, Beanies with balls and Charming till the very end. All in that "quirky" Bill Murray sort of way.
If that quirky scores you points on a "quicky", then well well:
Get it. The album that is.
Description of The Life Aquatic: Studio Sessions
French-only three disc (two CDs + PAL/Region 0 DVD) box set from the Brazilian artist best known for providing the delightful soundtrack and on-screen musical performances for the quirky film The Life Aquatic. This set features his album Cru (2005) plus the Ao Vivo CD and DVD (2006). Cru was Seu Jorge's international debut, a collection of gentle songs, passionately delivered. Sophisticated and surprising. Intimate and raw. Cru heralds an extraordinary talent. The live album from is a collaboration between Seu and Brazilian vocalist Ana Carolina. Naive. 2007.While The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou movie got mixed reviews, the soundtrack was universally hailed as excellent. The standout was Jorge, who not only had a role as an actor but also played a handful of Bowie songs solo with acoustic guitar, singing them in Portuguese it was a perfect combination of beautiful songs laid bare with a bit of exotic Brazilian spice to add fresh flavor. This collection features the whole of that Bowie session, which means Jorge's six songs from the soundtrack, seven other Bowie tunes and one playful Jorge original entitled "Team Zissou." Even though 2005 saw the release of his domestic debut Cru (which mostly featured his own songs and a band), Jorge found himself touring the U.S. in front of large crowds of 20-somethings who patiently waited for those Bowie songs. This album obviously gives the people what they want, and the good news is that the other versions are just as good as the ones that are on the original soundtrack. --Tad Hendrickson
