Review Pocahontas [CASSETTE] / Original Soundtrack:Whether or not Native Americans appreciate late 20th century Hollywood apologising for stealing their land, Disney's intentions seem to be well meaning. Whether or not the subject matter was responsible in part for it being less of a hit than those before and after, Disney's animation and dabbling in CGI gave it a terrific look. Whether or not it was about time someone else won an Oscar, Alan Menken's score is remarkably rich, with only the barest of "Indian" flavouring and a distinct lack of anything "cowboy". "The Virginia Company" is a Yankee pride march that paves the way for "Savages" to thump out the drums of war at a politically incorrect ethic. "Just Around The Riverbend" is the strongest number, eloquently exploring the possibilities of life. There's also a neat habit of splitting material into two parts, making for a song and score separation that works to the material's advantage. "Listen With Your Heart I" and "II" have some very nice native American backing but in measured doses of sweet and dark. In the extended score suite Menken delivers some adventurous orchestral pieces, with "Skirmish" whipping up a memorable cavalry charge. Whether or not you can stomach it, historical Disney is still Disney. -Paul Tonks.

Review The Lion King [CASSETTE] / Original Broadway Cast Recording:An Oscar win might suggest a score would need a miracle to be bettered-but this colourful stage adaptation of Disney's The Lion King does so with flair. Composers Mark Mancina and Lebo M worked closely together to fuse the movie's many disparate elements. Where there was a veritable army exercising creative influences for the animated tale, this brings it all under the wings of a like-minded few. This is genuinely apparent as one track flows into the next. The African rhythms-both vocal and in instrumentation-come across as authentic and original all at once. No doubt this is largely through Mancina's passion for peculiar instruments and the possibilities from nightly live performances. "Grasslands Chant" is a good place to start to hear this. The hit favourites are here of course, but both "Circle Of Life" and "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" are pleasingly unrecognisable with chorus and shifting beats. Better still is the likelihood they will now be eclipsed by some of the new numbers. Mancina's own "He Lives In You" being a strong contender. [+]
With a sound mix as crisp as you'd hope to find, this is rousing stuff. -Paul Tonks.
