I won't deny that I am a big Phil Collins fan. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this album. I had seen the film and immediately ordered the album off an American website, as it hadn't been released here at the time.
The album is comprised of a set of songs by Phil and then some of the score from key movie moments.
The tracks by Phil are the ones which had my undivided attention though. Two Worlds, along with You'll Be In My Heart, is one of the key tracks from the film and is one of my faves as well. It has that great Phil feel to it. Smooth, untainted melody with rousing instrumentals.
You'll Be In My Heart, the other main track and the single release, isn't one of my faves. This is the one that was obviously aimed more at the ladyfolk. Very soft, loving song, built around the whole broody female theme!
My faves are Trashin' The Camp, from the scene of the same name, Strangers Like Me and my No.1 from the album, Son of Man.
Overall the whole soundtrack is based around rousing instrumentals and the lyrics for the songs just add to the whole experience. This is one of those albums you can stick on to just have as background noise for reading or sleeping. Excellent stuff
