Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Nicole Kidman playing a singing prostitute? Ewan McGregor channelling the Police? If the soundtrack to director Baz Luhrmann's freakish musical Moulin Rouge has its way, we'll all be wearing corsets and swinging from the ceiling while the former Mrs Tom Cruise becomes our favourite new pop sensation. As daring as Luhrmann himself, the compositions test Kidman--who could have easily used a league of backup singers and studio knob-twiddlers to hide her inexperience--and she actually passes. She's no Olivia Newton-John, but she capably mixes Madonna's "Material Girl" with "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" (which is as breathy as Marilyn would've wanted it to be) and goes full throttle on any medley thrown her way. Her cover of "One Day I'll Fly Away" is especially poignant given her much-publicised personal tragedies. McGregor, though, is a real star; his giggly schoolboy brogue morphs into a fun cradle for Paul McCartney's Wings as well as U2's Bono on "Elephant Love Medley." Beck's cover of David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" is a hit waiting to happen, while Pattie LaBelle's 1970s staple "Lady Marmalade" (remade by an all-star cast of divas, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera among them) already is. A delicious, racy soundtrack that is equal parts cabaret, glam rock and trip-hop, Moulin Rouge doesn't disappoint. --Kristy Martin

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, BUT..., 9 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Moulin Rouge (Audio CD)
Although all the wonderful songs on the album certainly merit five stars, I haven't given it five because so many of the film's great songs are missing. Where is Jim Broadbent's hilarious rendition of "Like a Virgin"? And where is the sequence where the story of Spectacular! spectacular! is explained? And what about the rather surreal re-working of "The Sound of Music"? And speaking of music, where's the main title? Don't get me wrong, it's a great album, (all the stuff the other reviwers have said is absolutley true) especially for those who've not seen the film andthat Elephant Love Montage really is great, especially Ewan McGreggor's "Up Where We Belong"; I only whish it could have been a double CD with some of the tracks listed above included as well. If it's a soundtrack to a musical it has to include most of the musical's songs!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but if you want the tunes from the show, tough., 17 Sep 2001
A good collection of tunes, but I certainly don't remember David Bowie or FBS appearing in Victorian top hat & tails in the film. There were some outstanding pieces of music from the film missing from this CD - "Like a Virgin", "Show Must Go On" and plenty of incidental tunes that could quite happily have fitted on the CD without getting 2 versions of "Lady Marmalade" & "Nature Boy". Call me Mr Cynical, but whenever I see the "Music inspired by..." sticker my heart sinks, because it's just another way of bilking the punters, who are going to shell out again in 6 months time when "Moulin Rouge... Part deux" is probably going to be released. Please, just give us the OST!

After all that, the songs are good and well produced, and there is enough of the film on it to keep you relatively happy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good things come to those who wait, 21 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Moulin Rouge (Audio CD)
For one whole day and night after having watched 'Moulin Rouge' in the cinema, snatches of songs such as 'Children of the Revolution', 'Come What May', 'Your Song' and 'Up Where We Belong' were constantly spinning round in my head. This could mean only one thing - I had to buy the soundtrack! And when I did, I saw with a mixture of intrigue and disappointment that the CD included not only 'Lady Marmalade' but also 'Nature Boy' and 'Children of the Revolution' as versions sung by celebs and not the cast members. While these covers are good, I don't think I would enjoy them so much if they weren't bringing back memories of this beautiful film. The CD is saved by Nicole Kidman's sweet version of 'Some Day I'll Fly Away' and Ewan McGregor's amazing voice in everything he sings, especially 'Your Song'. It is a real pity that they couldn't include more songs by the original cast, but I'm world-weary enough to realise that commerciality rules all. So my advice to anyone wanting to buy this CD is: buy it, but wait until you've seen the film. Part of the joy of the film is playing Guess The Song, and most of the joy of the CD is the feeling of being transported back to the Moulin Rouge, so don't ruin either experience by putting the cart before the horse. And one last question: why doesn't the CD include 'The Show Must Go On' - one of the film's most soul-stirring songs?
