With an engaging mix of new faces from the world of teen pop and a couple of established artists who are certainly young at heart, the soundtrack to Pokémon 2000 is one that adults and kids will be happy to listen to together. Disco diva Donna Summer sings the movie's soaring theme song, "The Power of One"; with its uplifting, you-can-do-it lyrics, the ballad feels right at home on grownup radio. "Weird Al" Yankovic contributes "Polkamon," a catalog of different Pokémon monsters set to polka music, while the B-52s turn in "The Chosen One," a campy, spacy epic that wouldn't be out of place on any of their own albums. There are two notable debuts on this album -- MTV's Making the Band stars O-Town give the public a taste of the finished product with the pretty ballad "One Heart" and the dance-tempo "Comin' to the Rescue," while 12-year-old Alysha unveils her Celine Dion-like skills on the candy pop tune "Dreams." And if your kids can't get enough of the movie, pop the disc into your CD-ROM and watch bonus film footage. Like its predecessor, 1999's Pokémon the Movie soundtrack, Pokémon 2000's sugary pop will sate your kids' Pokémon cravings while introducing them to some of the pop stars of the future.

While it maintains a teeny-pop headcount, the album from the second Pokemon movie has a couple of daring steps: the presence of Donna Summer belting out the title song, "Weird Al" Yankovic with the gleefully silly "Polkamon," and a couple of score tracks (one of which is actually from the movie). Still, the album has more than its share of squeaky j-pop wannabes to annoy the heck out of adults and delight the preteen set. Steven McDonald
