ACROSS THE UNIVERSE - MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE

A love story set in the 1960's amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock `n roll. Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements with "Dr. Robert" (Bono) and "Mr. Kite" (Eddie Izzard) as their guides.

FEATURING SONGS FROM THE GREATEST SONGWRITERS OF ALL TIME, PERFORMED BY THE CAST INCLUDING EVAN RACHEL WOOD, JIM STURGESS, DANA FUCHS, MARTIN LUTHER McCOY, BONO, JOE COCKER AND EDDIE IZZARD

Package art will incorporate stills from pivotal scenes from the movie and a 16-page folder foldout poster with a strawberry image.

Nice Collection of Beatles Covers
 

There are songs that I simply don't connect with at all. But there are some real good songs here-nice arrangements: Come Together-Joe Cocker, With A Little Help From My Friends, Flying, Hold Me Tight, I am the Walrus-Bono, Across the Universe, Revolution, Helter Skelter, Hey Jude and Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds-Bono alone is worth the price of the CD. If you're a Beatles fan, it's a nice addition to your collection. As a 50-year-old die hard Beatle fan, I'm a tough sell on Beatle covers. It's a double set so it earns a 3 star.



spectacular
 

I am a recent Beatles "afficianado" (I am ashamed to admit. Wonderful film that I could watch over and over. This film is incredible on many levels. This movie makes me wish I had started a LOT sooner).



A worthy tribute to the Beatles
 

This is coming from one of this generation's biggest Beatles fans - I have long said that a cover can't do justice to a Beatles song (and there have been plenty of attempts), however I make a big exception for this album. You might not enjoy it as much without having watched the movie, but just take it all in. Go in with an open mind, and some of these renditions will give you goose bumps like the firs time you heard it by the Beatles. Don't be a hater. Okay. Seriously, it's beautiful.



Great CD!
 

I love the music on this CD. It is a great companion for the movie.



Not the Soundtrack
 

Buy the deluxe edition. This shouldn't be called a soundtrack or at least it should have "ABRIDGED" stamped on it. If you have seen the movie and love the soundtrack,don't buy this CDit leaves out too much. The music is great but you keep anticipating the next song in the movie and you are constantly disappointed.
