Music reviews of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Music Review: Held back by missing and edited songs
Rating: 3 Stars
Concerning the missing/edited tracks:
As some have noticed, the two included Sven Libaek songs have not only been re-titled for the soundtrack, but they've been shortened. "Shark Attack Theme" is actually a 3:53 song called "Inner Space" from the album of the same name. "Open Sea Theme" is actually a 3:01 song called "Thatcherie," also originally found on the Inner Space album. Furthermore, a song from that same album called "Island of Birds" is also used very early in the film but has been left off the soundtrack.
If you're like me, you want your soundtrack to include these songs in their complete forms, with their correct titles. Determined use of Google will reward you, especially if you head in the direction of two specific domains ([...]).
And, as some have also noticed, the beautiful song that plays during the Jaguar Shark scene near the end of the movie has been left off the soundtrack. This is completely unacceptable, of course. The track is by Sigor Ros, and it is called "Staralfur." It is quite legally available for free on the internet, the best copy of which I was able to find at ([...]).
If you go to the trouble to add these tracks to the soundtrack, you'll have a 5-star album on your hands. You shouldn't have to do this of course, and the people responsible for this soundtrack (Anderson, Poster, Leib) have been rightly criticized because of it.
Description of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
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 McCulleyGarage Rock CDs
