Product Description

After a two-year gap, Bryan Adams chose the animated movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron to make his triumphant return. The soundtrack is by no means a solo effort, but he has cowritten and sings on eight brand-new songs. Two of them are deemed so good they appear twice. The first of these, "Here I Am", is an uplifting tune that plays as the film's end credits. The other is the film's finale, "I Will Always Return", which seems like a statement on the artists' career. Of the others, the most interesting is the duet with Sarah McLachlan on "Don't Let Go", lending it a particularly atmospheric air with their combined breathy vocal stylings. This being a story of a mystical heroic horse, the lyrics are consistently upbeat and optimistic. Behind those lyrics is a collection of composers providing the melodies. Leading the team is Hans Zimmer, who's now an old hand at the animated genre (cf The Lion King and The Prince of Egypt). Towards the end of the album are four cues totalling 20 minutes of his instrumental score. These are perfectly in keeping with both the songs and Zimmer's style, featuring big orchestral themes overlaid with electronic augmentation. All together it's an hour of exactly what both artists do best. --Paul Tonks

When I saw the movie, I noticed Bryan Adams' music right away. I didn't realize how perfectly matched the soundtrack was for the movie until I bought the CD and listened to it, then watched the movie again. It's wonderful! You almost can't help but to sing along, and Adams' vocal performance is particularly poignant. Since the movie is largely about non-speaking characters, the music is particularly good at conveying the feeling behind certain scenes such as when Spirit is in the train car and imagines he sees his herd in the snowflakes. You'll listen to this cd over and over.

My wife really enjoys the music off the movie and mentioned getting the soundtrack. I ordered it for her, it came in time for Christmas, I gave it to her, and she was thrilled!

Music always enhances an atmosphere, and on occassion it can also digress one. In the case of this music, the atmosphere and the emotion surrounding the movie were by far intensified beyond what my words can describe. In many ways, I feel that of all the soundtracks that Hans Zimmer has written scores for, this is one of the top ranking ones. (...) I understand the power of music. This CD is beautiful. I bought it probably 2 years after I saw the movie, because I never actually got around to picking it up within good time of seeing the movie. This is by far one of the most grasping CDs I've ever bought. Once you start playing it, you can't help but want ot listen to the whole thing. It is beautiful.

An amazing soundtrack for an amazing movie
While I must give in and confess that it's a movie made for everybody, what really made the flick standout above the rest was how the story was told - through music. Read more
