VA – Across The Universe: Music From The Motion Picture (2007) [2CD Deluxe Edition]

VA - Across The Universe: Music From The Motion Picture (2007) [2CD Deluxe Edition]

As soundtracks to misguided Beatles-inspired movies go, Across the Universe — the companion piece to Julie Taymor’s pseudo-psychedelic fantasmagoria extravaganza, telling the story of the ’60s through the tunes of the Fab Four — isn’t too embarrassing. Certainly, it lacks the appalling tackiness of Sgt. Pepper and it’s not as stuffy as All This and World War II, but avoiding these two traps isn’t a very high bar to meet, and Across the Universe winds up having its own bewildering gaudy moments.
