iTunes Review

Composer Michael Giacchino is no stranger to Pixar animation projects: his first high-profile feature film job was scoring 2004’s The Incredibles, and he also lent his touch to 2007’s Ratatouille. “Up with Titles” starts his score for 2009’s Up on a perky note, and then the film’s main theme, a waltz, is introduced on the slow and spare “We’re In the Club Now.” That theme is fleshed out on the next cut, “Married Life,” which features a striking violin statement. “Carl Goes Up” really takes the theme to town. First, we hear chimes rustle, harp strings flutter, and flutes jab as the balloon lifts off; later, swaying strings accompany the floating aircraft. Throughout the soundtrack, Giacchino keeps things fresh with his engaging melodies and variations, and Up succeeds as an old-fashioned score that doesn’t shy away from emotion or catchy tunes. The album also includes three tracks of sound effects and a bonus video documentary.

I LOVE UP!

This music is amazing and the movie is even better.......I feel lame cause I actually cried in the beginning of the movie. Please listen to it, this music can really speak to you.

Amazing soundtrack to supply an amazing movie

The movie was fantastic, and I just had to buy the soundtrack because I felt there was no better supplement to the movie. You can see the movie all over again just by listening to these songs. It suits the environment and the emotion so perfectly. Highly recommended!

Perfection

Michael Giacchino has captured the whimsy, the wistfulness, the contentment in this soundtrack and in particular the piece Married Life. You could almost close your eyes and know exactly what emotions are going on in the scene. The soundtrack feels as large and wonderfully complex as life itself.
