Tarzan Cast Recording....

I was just at Best Buy today and didn't even think to look for it! Ah well, can't afford it this second anyway...no use tempting myself to add another cast recording to my collection.

I went to my local Wal-Mart, who didn't have it. I wasn't about to go cast recording hunting, so I figured I'll pick it up when I see it.

got mine at Tower Records in Lincoln Center during my lunch hour this afternoon. i think it's a great recording.

I'm sure the 2 music stores around me have it... for $20. I'll wait until Wal-Mart has it, or I'm around a Best Buy. It'll be much cheaper there.

I really like it. I haven't gotten to see the show yet, and probably won't unless it tours, but I'm very much enjoying the score.

Maybe it's just the Circuit City in my area, but I don't recommend them for cast recordings. One time I went the day a cast recording came out, and they couldn't even find it in their system. Best Buy is usually better about having cast recordings the day they come out, although you'll spend a couple of dollars more, perhaps, than at Circuit City.

I had a problem finding the DRS CD when it came out; Best Buy didn't even have it. I ended up paying almost $20 for the CD. Like the CD, but I don't think $20 is worth it especially when you can get a copy for $5 cheaper.

I'd say Beauty and the Beast has a better score, a more listenable score. And Tarzan is by far a better score than Lion King.

For me... it's like the Wedding Singer... and unattractive show to the eye... but after you listen to the recording, you can't press the stop button. Plus I really enjoy Merle Dandridge, and Strickland doesn't bother me one bit, vocally a captivating performance... I only am questioning Shuler Hensley, his songs were so.."so what" sounding.

i love it... i think it's a great recording

I love mine!

It's on itunes and I LOVE it, although I wish they used Daniel Manche instead of Alex Rutherford on the big songs. And I think Josh sounds kind of like a girl while singing but still very enjoyable and lovely, and Jenn has a gorgeous voice. The orchestrations on this are awseome. Shuler Henlsey has a wierd sound in No Other Way.


My favorite are Who Better Than Me, Different, Waiting for This Moment, and Trashin the Camp.

Picked it up too. It's great to actually hear the percussion at a lower level. The sound isn't distorted in the theatre, it's just not really easy to listen too because the volume is cranked. The bonus track is nice. It's cool to hear the films songs presented differently and the new Phil Collins track. The new songs are garbage as is the show.

I was really disappointed that they left out the song from Tarzan II "Who am I?" It is really great and works better than that one Young Tarzan currently sings.

I loved the movie and loved the songs as presented in the movie. I think the big problem with Phil Collins music is that it is an offbeat style that is syncopated and basically percussion based. Worlds away from what they are trying to do on stage.

I am now eagerly awaiting Lestat. I got some songs off Youtube from the show that I like from it. "Before my Eyes" is my favorite, I only wish I could go in and take out some of the runs. I hope Bernie Taupin keeps trying, Lestat is a good exercise, he just needs to learn some more about writing for the stage.
