Surf's up [Original Score] [Soundtrack] Review
I'd been waiting since the movie was released for the full score from the film to be put on CD, at last I've been able to add it to my soundtrack collection. It is likely that people didn't even realize there even WAS a score, but there certainly was, and it's some of the most emotional and beautiful I've heard in a while. It's surprising to hear what you may have missed watching the film, from scene to scene.
At 23 tracks, it seems like alot, but some tracks are only a minute or under, and you can be done listening to the whole CD faster than you'd imagine. That, I'd say, is the only downside to this limited release, but it is well worth listening to over and over, taking in all the little nuances of the music. Little things like the piano from "Legends" imitating the crashing of the wave in Cody's telling of the history of surfing, to that sad strum of Z's ukelele on "The Board Shack." If you're a fan of the movie, or great musical scores, this is well worth tracking down. It is assuredly short, but it packs a punch.
Surf's up [Original Score] [Soundtrack] Overview
1000 UNIT LIMITED COLLECTORS EDITION
BUYSOUNDTRAX Records presents the original Ocean picture soundtrack to SURFS UP, featuring music composed by Mychael Danna.
Shot in a mock documentary style, SURFS UP tells the story of Cody Maverick (Shia LeBeouf), a penguin with a passion for surfing. Followed by a camera crew, Cody and his friend, Chicken Joe (Jon Heder), hitch a ride to Pen Gu Island so Cody can enter the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. Cody is determined to win the Surf Off for Big Z (Jeff Bridges), one of the greatest legends of penguin surfing. Along the way to the Surf Off, Cody makes new friends and discovers that a true winner is not always the one who comes in First.

Danna has worked with such acclaimed directors as Atom Egoyan, Catherine Hardwicke, Scott Hicks, Ang Lee, Gillies MacKinnon, James Mangold, Bennett Miller, Mira Nair, Billy Ray, Joel Schumacher, and Denzel Washington on films such as EXOTICA, THE ICE STORM, THE SWEET HEREAFTER, RIDE WITH THE DEVIL, MONSOON WEDDING, ARARAT, CAPOTE, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, THE NATIVITY STORY and, most recently, FRACTURE and SURF S UP.
