Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Animated movie Shrek, like The Muppet Show or The Simpsons, is tiered with visual appeal, fantasy, and sophisticated humour that appeals to children and adults on two mutually exclusive levels. Judging by the soundtrack alone, there is some genuine emotion coming from this movie; Rufus Wainwright, the Proclaimers, and especially the Eels all pen winsome, longing tunes. Dana Glover's "It Is You (I Have Loved)" represents the soundtrack's requisite glossy ballad, but it's better than most, and John Powell's climactic, orchestral "True Love's First Kiss" makes one wish there was a full score to accompany this soundtrack. On the flip side, Smash Mouth cover the Monkees' "I'm a Believer" with a groovy treatment of crunchy hip-hop beats, and Leslie Carter (sister of Aaron and Nick) gives a perky performance on the Britney-esque "Like Wow!" The soundtrack squeezes the last drops of juice from the overplayed Smash Mouth hit "All Star," but other than that, it strikes a great balance between cute-but-not-precious pop hits, and more grown-up songs that are well within reach of young ears. --Beth Massa
Chronique amazon.fr
Avant même sa première projection, Shrek créait l'événement à Cannes en 2001, le festival n'ayant pas intégré de film d'animation dans la compétition depuis 1953 ! Pour illustrer l'histoire de cet ogre vert, cynique et malicieux, confronté à des situations périlleuses, il fallait une bande originale très rock. Ainsi fut fait. Au gré de cette B.O.F., on retrouve notamment les titres de deux groupes au style en acier trempé (Smash Mouth, Eels) avec, au passage, une reprise étonnante de "I'm A Believer" du premier d'entre eux par un incroyable Eddie Murphy. Pour calmer un peu le jeu tout en restant dans une dynamique indiscutable, on appréciera le "Hallelujah" de Rufus Wainwright. 13 titres pour créer une ambiance musicale que l'on n'a pas souvent l'occasion d'entendre dans ce genre de film. À découvrir.

hey, let's promote Rufus!!,
By Doug Robertson (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shrek - Music From the Original (Audio CD)
The record company just wanted to promote their new American idol, Rufus Wainwright (did I spell that correctly?) and that's why John Cale's version of "Hallelujah", which was in the movie, doesn't appear in the soundtrack. Maybe I missed the whole point of what a soundtrack is supposed to be, but I thought the music from the movie is supposed to be featured!

I loved the music from the movie but have not bought the soundtrack. ive been instead, doing my "homework" on the song hallelujah, which is done by john cale in the movie. i have listened to about three versions, including the one done by jeff buckley.....only none of the versions appear to have the same lyrics as the original done by leonard cohen. why is this??????
