    Jeez, I've been torn a new one (so to speak) in the Facebook comments.

  2. The power of fanboys...

    I am one myself and I am aware of that, but I try to look for and find my arguments for every single review without attacking any composer in the text whatsoever (as much as I dislike Brian Tyler's output I try not to include that in what I write about his scores).

    This particular composer I personally met and I will cherish this to the end of my days. This particular composer took a liking in me, which lets me stay in contact and I enjoyed personal chats with him about the narrative of this particular score. Did it influence the fact that I would give Pirates of the Caribbean 4 one star? Did the fact that I attended a recording session of Sherlock Holmes 2 influence my liking of the score? No and no, though in the second case the only thing I liked about that score was what I actually heard on the session itself.

    What it changed though is a lot of respect about the work put in even a failed score. What I write on a film score forum is one thing, but I vow never to personally attack a composer in a public review. And I manage to do that, even if I review a failure or I don't like what the particular composer does. I've always had a particular interest in the writing process of a composer and from what I know about his scores and what we've talked about, you did make some slight mistakes in defining his working process in the TDKR review, but as a reviewer nobody has to be in the know, I am just lucky.

    As I wrote above, the only thing I missed in your review is any mention of the material presented for the Selina Kyle character, which is actually quite prominent on album (the more subtle tracks - also Nothing Out There and Fear Will Find You) and belongs to my favourite Zimmer material in recent years.

    I deliberately simplified the working process... but I do know somebody who was closely involved in the production of this score, so it was not something I just pulled out the air!

    I take your point abut the Kyle music. I should have said something.

    Wow! Some of those people are batshit crazy Zimmer fans! And now Zimmer himself is commenting! Oh the humanity!

    Guano...
  11. James,

    I have refrained from participating in this whole mess on FB, because it seems to be starting to resemble a mud throwing compititions in there.

    But I think I can call myself a pretty neutral bystander in this. (I generally like Zimmer music, but am no where in the category of Jordi for instance)...

    So here is my five cents: Everybody is taking it too personally.

    I didn't think your review was bad, it was indeed your opinion, phrased with some humor, but maybe not completely (or restricted) to the musical side of things.
    There is a point to be made about the 'power' you hold over future sales, but this is the age of internet, so everybody has an opinion and a place to make it public. You are not the reviewer for the New York Times, so I'm guessing your impact will be minimal (not to bash you or anything, I just believe that people who read your reviews, already have a mindset of their own concerning scores, and will therefore already made up their mind about buying or not buying, liking or not liking a certain piece of music).

    What I did find remarkable was that:

    1) certain rabbit fans of Hans go very far in defending him (to such an extent that it becomes aggressive). My advise to them: don't take it personal. It's not because James doesn't share your (musical/emotional) viewpoints, doesn't make it so that he is personally attacking your way of listening to or enjoying music.

    2) the fact that Mr Zimmer decided to reply to this.
    I don't disagree with most of what he wrote (you indeed 'got reviewed' on your review... he's OK with the fact that 'you didn't get it'... But the fact that he takes the tme to reply to it, and in the way he did it, gives WAY too much weight to this thing in my opinion.

    Well, anyway, I send you my heartfelt support to NOT take what Mr Zimmer said personally yourself.
    I have read your reply on FB to him right now, and I found it respectfull and to the point. I hope everytging will die down now.

    Supportive hug hug

    No, he doesn't, really. Jordi's cool right now, but the more personal attacks on the review are uncalled for.


    Jordi's surprisingly cool lately. Except for when selectively deleting facebook comments wink (joking dear Jordi wink )

    Deshi bashara in Sanskrit was my mistake, it is Arabic and means either "He rises" or "rise up".


    He says in this review http://soundworkscollection.com/darkknightrises it is actually an inexistent language?

    Thanks for your supportive words! I hope it will all go away now. I read the review again and it really wasn't one of my best so I made a few tweaks, but it would be nice now to not have to think about it. It all got rather upsetting for a while...

    I like your newly tweaked review. Certain other peoples need a healthy reality check.

    They are in obvious need of something else too.

    James, do not alter anything; it's your opinion, you don't need to be apologetic about it; God, let's get over this now.

  29. Yes, A League of Their Own gets a blu-ray release punk

    Great movie, love it, but boy do I wish the full score of Hans Zimmer will get a release someday, because for me it's one of his all time best. I place this one alongside Prince of Egypt, for it brings me Hans Zimmer like I never heard him before cool
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
  30. Oh cool! Great film that one. And yes Zimmer nailed it with the music. Where has the time gone when he wrote these highly melodic and beautiful scores?
