'Ocean's Kingdom': Paul McCartney's Score Preview (VIDEO)

Last month we told you about "Ocean's Kingdom," the Paul-McCartney-scored-ballet set in an underwater kingdom at odds with the humans above (humans always ruin things). Today we've got a preview of the soundtrack, which is available for pre-order on McCartney's site. To get into the classical mood, Sir Paul apparently focused on "the purity of the ocean." So deep! Like 20,000 leagues. Listen to the clip below, and follow along with the nifty visualization.

What an informed opinion, based on hearing 1 minute of the music. You're pathetic.

You obviously don't know the Beatles -- because they feared sounding like Mantovani -- and Paul -- specifically said so. Lighten up.

you don't have to hear the whole thing: one bite tells you whether the entire dish is good or bad
