Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The opening inseparable double-act of "Inner Sanctum/The Nesting Grounds" followed by "The Egg Travels" represents the first of two uncharacteristically brave, musical choices made by Disney. This is a completely dialogue-free ten minutes starting the movie which, like the trailer that preceded it, tells its story solely through music. The second act of bravery is the complete absence of a single song. Newton Howard, therefore, had both a great weight and freedom on his shoulders. His response is something with the ethnic anywhere percussive feel of The Lion King coupled with a romanticism John Williams would be happy with. After this overture is the love theme for "Aladar and Neera", which is one of the most beautiful melodies the composer has ever produced. The rest of the album follows the overture stylistically, punctuated frequently by angry bursts of electronically augmented percussion. "Raptors/Stand Together" is the best example of this, and also illustrates that the cues are a jumble of the film's chronology since this is the climactic battle finale. The absence of songs means this won't appeal to the usual kiddie collectors, but everyone else should admire Disney's bravery. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Score of the Year!, 15 Nov 2000
Quite frankly, I've never heard of James Newton Howard- until now. I had high expectations, but I was bowled over by the maturity of the score and the way it complimented the animated feature, breathing life and emotion into moving pixels. This is not your typical Disney soundtrack. From the beautifully timid opening track "Inner Sanctum/The Nesting Grounds" to the full-blown orchestral "Raptors/Stand Together" and "Across the Desert", Howard experimented with various styles and instruments, yet managed to retain a subtle underlying theme which finally bursts out in the final track, "Epilogue". His collaboration with Lebo M produced a kind of ethnical magic, most evident in "The Courtship", but one which lingers throughout the album. If you love Hans Zimmer's The Lion King and John Williams in the Star Wars saga and Jurassic Park, this is for you. Watch out for it in the Oscars! -Fahmi

5.0 out of 5 stars It`s a Wonderfull Score, 26 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This is the only score by Howard I am owning,but it is a wonderfull one. I especially like the primitive,african rhytms and choral works on it,to not speak about the massive orchestra of Raptors/Stand Together which is probably the best action track on the score. The first eight tracks introduces new themes in each one except track 5 and six. In the first track,the beautifull introduction theme is heard,to be followed by the majestic main theme in second track. Track nr 4 introduces the lemurs`theme - a glad,life is like a circus theme. And there is also the wonderfull "Stand Toigether" theme,often with orchestra and chorus. Some tracks,such as Across the Desert and Breakoutare entirly different from the rest of the score and are of high quality. And it has also a frightening theme,first heard in "The Carnotaur Attack",a theme for the giant carnotaurs,which reminds a little bit of the Jaws Theme. I could tell you that this is the best Disney Scoire ever,and even if you`re not a Disney fan you can buy this,because it is a score of the same quality as Williams`s Jurassic Park or may be better.
