That is uncannily similar to mine. I'd have Lion King instead of Hannibal but otherwise the list would be the same (albeit it in a different order - which will not be disclosed under any circumstances). -

Promising opening cue but quite dull, soap-opera like after that. -

INTERSTELLAR is a superb score, but I doubt it's even going to crack my Top 10 Zimmer.
what are your top 10 zimmer then?
Well, I did this Top 10 five years ago:
http://montages.no/2012/07/topp-10-hans … undtracks/
But I might do a slightly different one now. Perhaps something like this:
1. BEYOND RANGOON
2. The Rock
3. Crimson Tide
4. The Thin Red Line
5. The Da Vinci Code
6. Gladiator
7. K2
8. The Lion King
9. Green Card
10. Inception
Or something.I am extremely serious. -

NP: PACIFIC HEIGHTS (Hans Zimmer)
I love it when it's all synth-poppy. Less so the 'swooshes' and banging for the thriller part. Fond memories of the movie, though.I am extremely serious. -

NP: Psalm 21 - Christer Christensson
imdb.com lists the composer as having composed only two scores: this one from 2009 and another in 2014. Which is a shame, as I think that this is a very competent effort. Very creepy but at the same time quite melodic.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

I just thought there were NP mentions of that from you on this very board. I think of the early scores, it's one of the ones that hold up quite well, if only due to the quite prominent orchestral element. The Romantic elements in Hans' music are quite interesting and easily noticeable even in something like Paperhouse.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: Dreamscape - Maurice Jarre
I struggle to really connect with any of Jarre's film and TV scores. And there's little for me to enjoy with this one. From both the choice of synths and the style he's chosen for the score, it's difficult to stick with this...The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Wholeheartedly concur with you there - Jarre's synth music is nearly always absolutely abominable.
And like you, have rarely connected to anything of his though there's maybe half a dozen orchestral scores of his I do like.
Jane - Philip Glass
Great to hear him back in the fold after quite some time but then calling this a 'new' score is a bit of a stretch. In other words, overly-familiar and rehashes his much abused, orchestral vocabulary to death. There are a couple of welcome exceptions though including a late cue that sounds like it could be straight out of a horror movie. -

NP: Back to the Future II (1989) - Alan Silvestri
A classic score from one of the strongest years in film scoring.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

I never liked the second Back to the Future score. It feels more like someone editing the first score to match the second film than an actual new score of its own. Super rehashy. -

Matured in what sense? I mean, it's literally the same exact notes just arranged in slightly different ways to match the timings of the new film...and there's never a sequence as coherent as "Clocktower". -

Because it has some additional thematic material. But you're right: In essence it's copy and paste. Great music nonetheless.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

E.T. from La-La-Land and Ben-Hur from Tadlow both sound magnificent. I don't have the time today to give these albums their due attention, I just sampled a few tracks. I also got the LP recording of Bernstein's The Back Cauldron (Varese Encore) which too awaits a proper listen.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Btw: By direct comparison you have to admire the awesome sound of the FSM release of the original recording of Ben-Hur.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

I find it very bizarre that nobody that has posted has 'The Prince of Egypt' in their ten.
Which is why I'm happy to be the odd one out:
1. The Prince of Egypt
2. The Lion King
3. Gladiator
4. Broken Arrow
5. Backdraft
6. Interstellar
7. Crimson Tide
8. The Peacemaker
9. The Thin Red Line
10. The Rock"considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -
