Excelent sound track to an excelent movie. cd was in decent condition, a few small scratches here and there but other then that completely satisfactory
This CD wasn't my favortie but, it has some great songs. I have never seen the movie, but listening to the soundtrack definatley made me want to see the movie.
He has a big quirky sense of humor but still packs emotion into his work. All the musical numbers are fun but some took me by surprise. I've been a fan of Baz Luhrmann for ages. Soundtracks are the next natural step for a fan of a movie, especially a musical. Heck, it's a great CD to get you moving while doing housework. Enjoyable, mood provoking and nostalgic all at once.
Songs are used in quick succession, in tandem and often paired in medleys with new compositions.
The movie itself is a fast paced fun romp and the music completely inspired.
I really enjoyed Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman and the rest of the cast.
This particular recording is evocative and entertaining.
I especially was taken by the tango number using The Police's "Roxanne." The performances are wonderful.
Some may be thrown by the use of familiar songs in the movie but they all fit beautifully.
The soundtrack uses the familiar to set the mood well.
Well done.
How many soundtracks can you say this about.
Remixes and different people. I first bought Moulin Rouge 2 soundtrack because I wanted the songs from the movie w/ the actual singers. Uggg. But it sucked. you get Ewan MacGregor singing with some unknown chic, or Nicole Kidman singing a remix with some random guy. I was looking to buy this CD because the track listing says that Nicole and Ewan actually sing *together* on it for a few songs, but apparently the songs are changed from the way they are in the movie. This stinks.
Of course I like this soundtrack. I enjoyed the music from the movie. This isn't a toaster oven so you should know if you like it or not before you purchase it. If your not sure then you may wish to check it out at the library.
