I have read most of the reviews on this, and I can't believe people are saying this is the best since lion king. THIS IS THE BEST EVER! The story of Tarzan is old and done several times, but Phil's unmatched talent as a musician is the perfect thing this story needed. Other reviews complained that the characters did not sing the songs. What about trashing the camp, and you'll be in my heart? Those were both sung all or partially by the characters. Besides no other movies we watch have the characters singing the songs, except musicals, and this is not a musical. Phil's songs phit the story perfectly, and enhance the emotions we feel while watching this beutiful story of love and family. some reviews also say if you're a Phil Collins fan you should get it. well,if you're a Phil phan you already have it. Everyone else should get it. I saw the movie again this week and cried through out the songs sung by Phil, cause he did such a wonderful job of telling the story. My hat's off to the people of Disney for choosing the perfect man for the job. Way to go Phil! This is by far the best Disney movie ever, and there is not even a close second in the soundtrack catagory. No cheezy songs like in past Disney soundtracks. Even the orchestrations are beautiful and I enjoy listening to them. This is a must have!

1999's "Tarzan" movie soundrack isn't really a "proper" Phil Collins album, per se, but Phil does contribute some wonderful tunes to the soundtrack, as well as some killer tribal rhythms & beats that perfectly fit this animated Disney hit about the legendary ape man. Of course there's the gorgeous "You'll Be In My Heart," for which Phil won his well-deserved Oscar for Best Song, but also the equally-powerful "Two Worlds," the fun "Trashin' The Camp," and the skillful pop of "Son Of Man" and "Strangers Like Me." There's also incredible orchestral music that makes up the album's second-half, written by Mark Mancina, which Phil contributes drums to.Okay, so I could've done without NSync's guest duet with Phil on the second version of "Trashin' The Camp," but otherwise, this is a marvelous soundtrack album, with some classic Phil Collins music. The "Tarzan" movie soundtrack is a very swingin' disc in my book.

You know it's hard to believe that Phil Collins, as more of a pop musician, could handle the percussions so professionally in this soundtrack! I mean it's odd, but I simply LOVE the way he deals with drums and other tribal woodwind instruments to deliver the perfect mix of ambience and modern-day jungle tunes! I wouldn't rate it so much as somewhat a new-age album - after all, it does somehow bring together pop catchiness and forest moods. But even so, even if you've never watched the movie, listen to the music on this CD. In fact, the jumpy tunes and captivating lyrics already tell a story of their own! So go swing along with Tarzan on this powerful musical adventure! AW-YEE-AW-YEE-AW!

When looking at a huge music star such as Phil Collins, people automatically assume the best out of him. He has so many albums, fans and awards so thus, the general public assume that someone as high quality as him would give it his all. Putting aside the film, and when you really look at the music, you see he did.

From the opening song "Two Worlds", you can feel the confliction and pain he tries to presents in the words. From having the young ape killed to having Tarzan's parents killed by the jaguar, you can hear him trying to present the pain. When he gets to the lyrics "No words describe a mothers tear, no words can heal a broken heart...," you can feel that glitter of hope when she hears the babys' cry.

With the songs "Son of Man" and "Strangers Like Me", Phil tries to present the confusion and hardship of growing up in a world where everyone is so different from you. Phil strongly presents the determination and wonder in both these songs as you see Tarzan grow up into the man he becomes and falls in love for the first time. When the scene of them in the trees with the birds, you can feel the angst in Phil's voice representing the longing of Tarzan to understand what it is he is feeling.

With "Trashing The Camp" version with 'N Sync, it could of been better though. This song was probably the downfall all in all of the album, making it gain a bad rep with some of Phil's fans. But he brings it all back with the song "You'll Be In My Heart"

Whether people agree with it or not, Phil Collins sings wonderfully in this album in my opinion. If you can feel the emotions trying to be presented in the songs, the singer has done their job and Phil Collins certainly did this.

I was so amazed at the music and songs of this film, I would highly recommend it, along with the movie to anyway for grown ups and children alike.
