Editorial Review: Amazon.com: While The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou movie got mixed reviews, the soundtrack was universally hailed as excellent. The standout was Jorge, who not only had a role as an actor but also played a handful of Bowie songs solo with acoustic guitar, singing them in Portuguese it was a perfect combination of beautiful songs laid bare with a bit of exotic Brazilian spice to add fresh flavor. This collection features the whole of that Bowie session, which means Jorge's six songs from the soundtrack, seven other Bowie tunes and one playful Jorge original entitled "Team Zissou." Even though 2005 saw the release of his domestic debut Cru (which mostly featured his own songs and a band), Jorge found himself touring the U.S. in front of large crowds of 20-somethings who patiently waited for those Bowie songs. This album obviously gives the people what they want, and the good news is that the other versions are just as good as the ones that are on the original soundtrack. --Tad Hendrickson Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - David Bowie ala SeuGlad another reviewer pointed out "Seu" is the equivolent to "Mr.", and here I was thinking it was a pretty cool first name. DOH! Overall, the "Studio Sessions" album a very pleasant breath of fresh air. It shares a similar tone to Nick Drake's "Pink Moon", which is also another outstanding acoustic album. Like many, I was enchanted by the Jorge scenes in "Life Aquatic", which compelled me to check out the soundtrack. Was very glad to see he has a seperate album. "Changes" and "Quicksand" (never knew it was a Bowie song, as I thought it was a Dinosaur Jr. original the whole time) are my fave tracks, or well, of the ones not already on the original movie score. Jorge's version of "Rebel Rebel" is so sultry...dream-like, ...

Seu Jorge is perhaps best known for his role as Pelé Dos Santos in Wes Anderson's 2004 film, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, a Portuguese aquatic safety expert who entertains the rest of the crew with his David Bowie covers. The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions is a collection of Bowie songs Jorge recorded for the film soundtrack. Five of his Bowie covers were included in the original film, and seven others are available only on this album. This album will appeal to anyone who likes Bowie or ...

Rating: - Ziggy Stardust in Sao PauloSeu Jorge's "Life Aquatic Studio Sessions" is a landmark soundtrack. It's the first time David Bowie's songs were covered as acoustic Brazilian bossa nova. It's flamboyant glam rock transformed into a soulful samba. Seu Jorge turns Ziggy Stardust,with all his sequins,into a Carnival dancer. The Studio Sessions are organic,as rich and deep as Brazilian coffee. "Rebel Rebel",the opening,is quietly defiant. "Ziggy Stardust" is a cosmic lullaby. There's a sense of wonderment. It's like looking at a sky full of stars on a clear night. "Changes" is a melancholy reflection on times past. "Oh! You Pretty Things" comes across as affectionate and paternal. "Suffragette City" is dancelike and seductive. "Five Years" and "When I live my dream" ...
