Review & Description
Japanese edition of the soundtrack for Dreamworks' current animated blockbuster (25 million in 2 weeks of release) which reunites Sir Elton with his partner on the best-selling 'Lion King' soundtrack, Tim Rice. Includes appearances by Don Henley, Paul Carrack & Randy Newman. Featuring one Japanese exclusive bonus track, 'Hey Armadillo'. 2000 release. Standard jewel case. Apparently, if you ask Elton John to provide songs for the soundtrack to your movie, you'll get more than you bargained for. In this case, much more. Only 5 of the 11 tracks are used in this animated film about 2 swindlers searching for gold in 16th-century Spain, meaning 6 bonus cuts are featured here. John again collaborated with lyricist Tim Rice, who worked on last year's Aida and 1994's Lion King. There are the trademark piano ballads ("Friends Never Say Goodbye," "Queen of Cities") and uptempo piano rockers ("16th Century Man"), but many of the tracks feature island rhythms and some unusually futuristic effects ("Trust Me"). One particular highlight is a humorous duet with Randy Newman on "It's Tough to Be a God." Three additional cuts from the movie's score by Hans Zimmer and John Powell finish the album with cinematic flair. --Rob O'Connor Read more
