Hello Gamespot!

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of c-lassic Hans Zimmer works, like Backdraft, Beyond Rangoon, and the original Lion King. That stuff was impressive, and it's a little sad to see where the great composer has come to now. Such beautiful works originally.

So, I discovered how stunningly beautiful his works in The Lion King were. If you can, you should absolutely buy a bootleg copy of the Lion King's score. It's simply astonishing. The themes are beautiful, the percussion and instrumentation work perfectly in context, and though the quality of the sound itself is a little faulty (being bootlegs), you should definitely check out this score.

There are simply far too many good tracks in this score, so I will have to give some advice. One of the best tracks is obviously Circle of Life, but not the one you'd envision; rather, it's the one without english lyrics. The instrumental portion is actually quite brilliant.

Another great piece is the powerhouse Simba Alive, a great piece. The theme is simply outstanding. Under the Stars is also outstanding.

I can only provide one download link, so I'll just provide Under the Stars' album edition.
