[Closed] Now Playing XXXIV

Indeed. It doesn't bother me personally, but i can see how someone could be bothered by the over-exposure of the thing in terms of duration and repetitions. I admit that there's times that i start playing his albums in great appetite but switch them off halfway or make custom playlists, with the exception being the beautiful CHILDREN OF DUNE and DARKNESS FALLS.

He should really hand his material to a music editor, a third and unbiased person, to make a shorter, more coherent album. It's a shame really, 'cause he writes very good material, but he seems like someone who's emotionally connected to his own stuff so much that he can't really make himself cut it off the final album, ending up in excess.

NO. I . HAVEN'T. What album is that on?

That album is terrible. I HATE the new Motion Picture Medley. The addition of Air Force One and Basic Instinct to that suite was a terrible idea. The TV Medley is also destroyed by the addition of Star Trek: Voyager. And the performance of the Star Trek The Motion Picture theme is terrible. Lifeless performances and AWFUL sound quality.

Why not, Jordi? whether you believe me or not, yesterday, i spent nearly 2 hours in listening to Hans Zimmer's works, especially from the following list of my favorite scores:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (Singapore and Up is Down, these two tracks are just awesome)
The Last Samurai
Angels & Demons (160BPM - Magnificent & Science & Religion - Wonderful)
The Dark Knight (Why so serious? - Marvelous & Like a dog chasing cars - to me, best cue of the year)
The Davinci Code
The Lion King ( my all time favorite)
Sherlock Holmes ( not great, but good score indeed)
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimaron ( Run Free - for this i would give anything, simply classic & masterpiece and Rain - very beautiful indeed)

I don't care what others say on Zimmer, but i just adore his works. After John Williams, I frequently listen to Zimmer music. There is nothing wrong in saying that Hans Zimmer is a greatest composer of all time.

Have a nice day, buddy!

Yes, I was bored. Gonna go eat dinner now.

NP: Rain drops.

Spartacus - Alex North

Magnificent!

No. Actually, i am fan of Film music. That's all. But of course, i am a huge fan of Maestro John Williams.

By the way, have a sweet dreams!

It is!

'The Trees' is like a homage to John Barry, brilliant track!

NP:Peacemaker Vs King Arthur (Hans Zimmer).

I don't know man....i don't know. Wich score I like most? One has more orchestral power, but the other has more interesting textures and themes. DAMMIT!

by the way, listen up James! Stop saying all Zimmer action stuff sounds like peacemaker! of course , that's because is Zimmer action style!!!! All the other composers has the same action style in almost every of his scores, and you not mention everytime "this score sounds like: Willow, or Superman or..."

Jordi, if you like them both does it really matter that one has to be better than the other?

yes! Because maybe someday i will have to choose. "what 3 things you will take to a desert island?"

Just my 2cents, The Peacemaker is a better score, not because it's orchestral, but because it's more specific in what's it's trying to say. It's completely scene specific and thus, more dynamic and has a narrative pushing it. KA suffers from that generic RC-ism of having too many cooks trying to spread the same recipe across different plates. There are great parts, but only because those parts were scene specific, like The Ice Battle cue. A more apt comparison, for me, would be between The Peacemaker and POTC: AWE, but that's an unfair battle though.

NP: Potus 111 - Brian Tyler

Gotta finish this CD!!!!

agree about what you said. but Why this comparison is unfair?
