Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: If you've ever cringed in anticipation of the schmaltzy warbling in a Disney picture, then this could be the album to confound your expectations. The idea of Phil Collins is a great start anyway, with his huskily strained vocals bringing a very different sound. On top of that, the marriage of his songs and voice into Mark Mancina's rollicking score is done in a very successful way. Their goal was to integrate Collins as a singing narrator, the trick being to avoid a clash between score ending and song beginning. Pleasingly the album retains much of that seamlessness. You might feel you could do without reprising duets with luscious boy band 'N Sync, but thanks to the jungle rhythms of Speed king Mancina, they do actually feel like a part of the whole. "Two Worlds" is a definite highlight of the collaboration for musicality, but "Trashin' the Camp" has the inventive laughs. And yes, it does finish on the famous Tarzan yodel! --Paul Tonks From Amazon.com: If anyone belongs in the "Whatever Happened To?" category of a game show, it's Phil Collins. Back in the 1980s, Collins was everywhere, having retinkered Genesis into a smooth, hit-making machine and embarking on a solo career that redefined adult contemporary music. He's still been busy, but nowhere near the spotlight. His latest project has been writing five songs for Disney's animated Tarzan. "You' ll Be in My Heart"--presented here in two versions, one with actress Glenn Close--is exactly the sort of ersatz orchestrated power ballad you expect from this sentimental guy. A duet with 'N Sync in "Trashin' the Camp" (also issued in two versions) is Phil's concession to the kids. Producer Mark Mancina's instrumental score mixes the expectant ambient sounds of the jungle with the slowly unfolding sounds of daybreak and jungle rhythms (provided by Collins on drums) that denote inevitable conflict. --Rob O'Connor Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fantastic!If you don't like Phil Collins then this is definitely not the soundtrack for you as he provides all of the vocals but his voice works really well with a score that proves Disney hasn't lost its touch with the music. Most Tarzan fans will instantly recognise 'You'll be in my Heart' and 'Strangers like Me'and in fact from looking at the track listing it might seem like this soundtrack has little more to offer. However, it is the instrumentals that link Disney's trademark power ballads together that really make this album. Rating: - Tarzan soundtrack reviewEver since i saw the film, i just knew i had to buy the soundtrack. From the fabulous warbling of phil collins to the superb instumental efforts of Mancini, this turns out to be a formidable piece of work. i have the album in french but it is just as immpressive as the soundtrack in english. Although the duet with N*Sync is a fun, inventive piece, i felt that it spoilt the mood somewhat. Still, altogether a astounding and superbly structured album enjoyable to all ages. Rating: - A Perfect Compliment To The FilmI love this soundtrack...- I think Phil Collins did a great job! Some of the tracks are really emotional, and if u listen to them on the film (which is one of my favourite Disney films) they can bring tears to your eyes. An excellent job, well done! You MUST buy this album! Rating: - Nearly as good as Alan Menken!This is the best CD soundtrack for Adults and Children alike, and I would recommend it to anyone else. I like Phil Collins music, and I like his songs which is why I decided to give it 5 stars. My favourite song is You'll be in my Heart which is Phil's version of the song in the movie. Rating:  - You Ruined It Phil!As an avid Disney fan with a wide musical taste, I find it quite easy to appreciate the value of most music. However, the songs "you'll be in my heart" and "two worlds" not only make me want to retch, but also show no particular compositional talent whatsoever, opposed to some of Disney's past memorable songs where it is quite evident. I fail to see why Phil Collins won an Oscar for his work. The rest of the songwriting that year must have been absolutely dire, not that this wasn't. If I was allowed to give a no-star rating I would and I will be praying that Collins is banned from taking on any more projects with companies that I once had a lot of respect for. |
