Full review

Tarzan was another good Disney film but the thing that stuck me about it was its outstanding music written by the talented Phil Collins. Phil Collins has an exceptional music talent. His song writing ability is truly brilliant.

I doubt it if anyone can't name a song in a Disney film. Songs in Disney films have something special and Tarzan is certainly no different. In fact, the music in Tarzan, in my opinion, one of Disney's best.

People who don't know the music of Tarzan may well be reluctant to listen to is as they may believe the music is childish. Let me tell you, the music is certainly not childish so don't let that put you off getting the album.

The songs in this album are really powerful. The lyrics are very thought provoking as well.

When you first here the songs they are just good songs but the more you listen to them the more they grow on you and before you know it you are truly blown away by the music.

Most of the songs have two versions: the version taken directly from the film and a more "pop" version. I enjoy listening to both versions.

I will only mention a couple of songs I like because I like them all and the songs really do have to be listened to in order to fully understant how great they are. There is a version of the song "Trashin' the Camp" sung by Phil Collins and N Sync which I really enjoyed. How the singers sing such a unique song is really good and there voices are excellent. One of my favourite songs in the album is "You'll Be In My Heart". In my opinion, this song is a classic and really is powerful.

This album has upbeat tracks as well as slower tracks which means overall this is a well rounded album.

At the moment, the CD is £12.99 on Amazon. For an album which has been out for several years it is rather expensive but I believe the album is, without a doubt, worth that price.

Below is a list of the songs on the album.

1. Two Worlds - Phil Collins
2. You'll Be In My Heart - Phil Collins
3. Son Of Man - Phil Collins
4. Trashin' The Camp
5. Strangers Like Me - Phil Collins
6. Two Worlds Reprise - Phil Collins
7. Trashin' The Camp - Phil Collins/'N Sync
8. You'll Be In My Heart - Phil Collins
9. Two Worlds - Phil Collins
10. A Wondrous Place
11. Moves Like An Ape, Looks Like A Man
12. The Gorillas
13. One Family
14. Two Worlds Finale - Phil Collins

I recommend this album to everyone. I truly love it!
