indy4 155 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I am a huge fan of Zimmer's Lion King, it's my favorite Zimmer score. I've never seen the play. This is the broadway version's soundtrack:It says that it contains additional music by Zimmer...is this true? Is it worth getting? Is there unreleased music from LK and/or new material written for the play that is worth getting? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The additional music by Zimmer is just some excerpts from his score - some of which have lyrics to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've had it for years now and it's definitely worth getting. I'm not really sure about the additional material, but the performances are really inspired and enthusiastic. Go buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Yeah, they're not very good lyrics either. Julie Taymor wrote them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure about the additional material, but the performances are really inspired and enthusiastic. Go buy it! Perhaps I shall, I've seen it used at a CD shop for very cheap.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Is it music from LK that was unreleased on the OST?I don't think so, although I'm not sure. May I stress Zimmer's music has lyrics to it?There's also a cheap-ass rendition of the stampede music without lyrics, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I stress Zimmer's music has lyrics to it? Hmmm, perhaps I'll reconsider buying this. I've never really been that into the songs of the LK, just the score, so a better performance of the songs doesn't really tempt me, and since there's no new score...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I find them very enjoyable. Very vocally supported and structured. Grassland Chant, for example, sounds like pure African-vocal driven Hans Zimmer.Other cues by Zimmer sound very Zimmer, meaning there is a lot of guitar for some reason. This CD is on iTunes, listen to the samples to take a listen to what's on there.Overall it sounds a lot like the OST, specifically the score tracks and not the songs. I don't think it's entirely new material rather than new mixes and alternates of what was in the original film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
