5.0 out of 5 stars
Everyone should have this soundtrack!!!,
By firstmagnitude "firstmagnitude" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hatari! (OST) (Audio CD)
What a soundtrack! I have listened to other Mancini albums, but this arguably is his best non-greatest hits album. It is very listenable from beginning to end. The bonus track on the import is interesting for the addition of vocals (Just For Tonight).
Hatari has three musical themes runing throught: the first is the title and "The Sounds of Hatari." Since this is set in Africa, these two tracks set the stage for actors to chase and capture wild animals. For the comical side, you have the classic "Baby Elephant Walk," which exactly is what the music was for in the movie. This tune is equivalent to the Pink Panther theme in clearity and rememberance. The song has become an international hit and recorded by numerous artists over the decades. Reading IMDB website, Mancini had written Baby Elephant Walk on a whim while they were shooting the scene of the baby elephants. We also have "Your Father's Feathers" and "Crocodile, Go Home." And on the cocktail side of things, we have "Just For Tonight", "Night Side", "Big Band Bwana", and "The Soft Touch." The music is great! Henri Mancini at his best! Don't hesitate in buying it!

Great soundtrack, but lousy format.,
This review is from: Hatari! [SOUNDTRACK] (Audio CD)
Although the soundtrack to HATARI is quite enjoyable to listen to (obviously, dependent entirely upon one's taste in music), the format via which it was presented left quite a lot to be desired. I missed during the order of this product that it is a CD-R (i.e. a copied CD, not an original) that is produced on demand. Unfortunately, the CD would not play in all equipment. I purchased this as a gift for a friend, and he was unable to get it to play on his high quality, component-based home entertainment system, but was able to play it via computer. He brought it to my attention, asking if I could get my money back for it. I tried playing the CD on my component-based system, and it occured as well for me. Not exactly what I expected, and certainly not what I hoped for. Bottom line, avoid this product; unlike me, don't be so cheap as to buy this release as opposed to the pressed CD which costs approximately double. I plan on keeping this copied version for the car, and springing for the more expensive version so my friend can listen to this great soundtrack on his home system, thereby enjoying it to the fullest.

Great Score,
By Ixcaneco (Out in the Country) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hatari! [SOUNDTRACK] (Audio CD)
A favorite movie score and highly recommended. Baby Elephant Walk was a pop hit for Mancini, however, it is the whole movie score that is really excellent. I understand the previous reviewer's frustration with the CD-R format though it is readable by virtually all CD players manufactured in the last few years. If this is a concern, Amazon also offers the Hatari/High Time combined soundtrack as a regular CD. Personally, I think that on-demand CD-Rs are a great idea.
