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

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.

Tarzan soundtrack review
Ever 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.

Something for the whole family
My son celebrated his 2nd birthday yesterday and his birthday treat was a trip to Eurodisney in Paris. A clear favourite was the Tarzan show which we went to twice - he raved about the monkeys so much I bought the CD - a huge hit. Not only is it amazing that a 2 yr old can relate the songs to a show he loved, but he just loves to sing and dance to this cd. Having this will make car travel much less boring and much more fun ! The cd is a great companion to the Disney readalong book also as you can relate the characters in the book to the different pieces of music - especially Terk, and Tarzan and Jane. The instrumental pieces are a great way of energy burning for toddlers by dancing or playing along on the drums.. For parents, the music is pleasant, but the pleasure for me is in my sons' enjoyment of it !
