Spirit

Artist : Bryan Adams

Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron is a film by the DreamWorks animation company. The film tells the story of a wild mustang living in the Wild West and the effect that humans have upon his life. The most part of the film only has horse noises and the visuals and small amount of narration are what tells most of the story, backed up by the music put together by Hans Zimmer and with vocalist Bryan Adams. The CD contains 16 tracks, 4 of which are purely instrumental, all taken from the film.

My opinions - I love this film and so for me this is a great CD by a great artist. However although the songs tell the story of the movie, it is quite enjoyable to listen to the songs without knowing the storyline at all. Even the instrumental tracks are lovely to listen to. I find these songs very emotive and I find that Bryan Adams voice suits the songs very well and in my opinion Hans Zimmer is a brilliant composer. The instrumental music fits the film perfectly and even if you have not seen the film you can feel the amount of emotion in them that just blows you away. These songs make me wish I was a wild mustang!

My overall feelings on this CD are that it is a brilliant CD especially for children.
