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

 See the movie too! October 15, 2008
Robert Venable (Redding, CA)
The music from the movie "Across The Universe" is just as outstanding as the film itself. This will stir emotions in you that have been dormant for decades. The performances are truly stellar. This CD is in my top three list of best music of all time.
Across the Universe October 13, 2008
J. Holden (Seattle, WA)
Really happy with with CD. Music follows same order as it does in the movie. Only a few songs left out. Disappointed I Want You was not on it, but all in all am satisfied.
 Awesome! October 5, 2008
H. Febres (Florida)
We thoroughly enjoyed the movie and the soundtrack puts you right back there. My only quibble is that it is missing one or two tracks from the movie.
reminds me of my youth October 3, 2008
Sheryl C. White (Olympia Wa)
I am enjoying this CD although, I do wish they had used the complete songs, and not just the parts used in the movie.
Great album but.... September 27, 2008
Wes Marshall (Austin)
I adored the movie and the soundtrack, but if you loved this, also try to get the soundtrack to I Am Sam, another effective re-thinking of how to use the Beatles canon.
