DVD Times reviews the new ‘Music’ edition of the Romeo + Juliet DVD. Reviewer Eamonn McCusker writes:

‘And it is that score that one remembers most, in particular how well it fits the film and how, were it not for Gavin Friday, The Butthole Surfers and composers Nellee Hooper, Craig Armstrong and Marius De Vries, one wouldn’t be at all impressed by MTV-meets-Shakespeare logic of its making.’

A new DVD re-release of Baz Luhrman’s film Romeo + Juliet – dubbed the “Music Edition” – highlights the music of the film.

The Romeo + Juliet soundtrack including Gavin Friday’s Angel as well as songs by Radiohead, Garbage, Des’Ree and Stina Nordenstam was a huge hit in the 90’s, selling 8 million copies.

Luhrman talks to TheStar.com about the new release.

Order the DVD from Amazon.com.

The Kirsten Sheridan film Disco Pigs (2001) for which Gavin and Maurice did the score is out on DVD this month. You can pre-order it from BlackStar. Gavin has a little cameo in this film too. No soundtrack album was released for this film, so this DVD is the currently the only way to hear the score.
