Limited Edition Soundtrack score
My own Lossless CD rip

Film music fans may be surprised to learn that the score was provided by Mychael Danna, who is a complete stranger to the animation genre. Unsurprisingly, his score does not adhere to the clich�s of animation scores, avoiding the sort of mickey mousing and cutesiness that we�re all used to for this kind of thing. Oddly enough, his main theme feels like something from one of Philip Glass� documentary scores, it�s a really lovely and intelligent piece of writing. It shows up during several key emotional scenes during the film, and Danna also hands in a sizable amount of pleasant beach-flavored source music. There is currently no score release, and I�m not sure whether there�s enough score to merit one, but I�d certainly love to hear at least a handful of the cues from �Surf�s Up� on their own. Unfortunately, about half the movie is plagued with songs that don�t feel very natural to this material. Nothing against the likes of Pearl Jam, Lauren Hill, 311, or Incubus� but with the exception of the surfing classic �Wipe Out�, most of these tunes have a very tacked-on feeling. Still, maybe it�s the strength of Danna�s score that makes the rest of the soundtrack feel so weak. Jonathan Broxton - Movie Music UK
