NP: Pirates of The Caribbean - Curse of The black Pearl - Klaus Badelt
Fun score for some light listening, despite bad sound editing stuff.
One of my least favourites, and one the worst MV scores IMO.
Sometimes i wonder how do we 2 even talk
Um, using... using words?

The Kingdom Danny Elfman
I'm actually enjoying this one!?
It's interesting, that's what I can say about it. Probably a load of random sound effects to most, and perhaps not everyone's idea of an enjoyable album, but it works very well in the film.
This is what I love about Danny Elfman, he continues to break the mold, he's not afraid to try new things. He's a little bit like Goldsmith in that sense... (don't kill me). -

Wanted - Danny Elfman
Standing Operating Procedure reminded us how good he is, and this just reinforces it. When he finds the right project he's great, and this is it. Simply brilliant. -

Actually, one of things I like about that one is that it's melodic and romantic without being sentimental.

Well, depends on how you define 'sentimental'. One can be overblown and melodramatic about it - and i suspect that's what you have in mind, but one can also do it in a refined, delicate, discreet and indirect way, like Desplat and Iglesias for the subject matter.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

It's so good hey.. All of those words describe it.. what i think I like about it is, that it does all the things that a lot of composers try but don't pull off as well by over playing ...For example the spanish guitar and hand claps are great in this score...not too subtle and authentic sounding....but when used by Hanz Zimmer in scores lie MI:2 it sounds like its making a constant cameo appearance...add on top of that Lisa Gerrard wailing and some guitars....hmm.. -

Well, you shouldn't puzzle yourself over it. There's a distinct difference in quality and refinery when it comes to use of orchestration and arrangements between several composers; some know where to use what, how to use it and in what quantities whilst Zimmer will 99% go for everything, everywhere, all at once.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

NP: The Lion King - Hans Zimmer
Something I cannot abstain from no matter how much I try (even if just as an experiment
).
Favourite tracks of all time - The Once and Future King, The Elephant Graveyard, Kings of The Past, ...To Die For (film version), Hunting/Pinned Again/Reunion, Remember Who You Are, Simba Returns Home, King Of Pride Rock (film version)
And a shame that for now the crappy bootleg with terrible mono sound is all that's generally available. I hope that eventually as time passes it is considered a classic (Hans' only Oscar winner till date after all) and gets a proper release it deserves. -

Waiting for Mummy 3 till 29th July is getting unbearable (assuming Edelman has done something in the veins of Dragonheart ) so here's this terrific Silvestri action score to pass time meanwhile!!

NP: Atlantis the Lost Empire - James Newton Howard
There are two distinct halves of the score - the first half is typical Disney stuff with some typical "mickey mousing" material such as in tracks like The Submarine. Though it also has great action/adventure tracks like Atlantis Destroyed, Leviathan Battle (3 minutes of NON STOP action ) and The Journey. After the short action track Fireflies begins the second half of the score. Deeply mature and deliciously dark, this is pure JNH magic - powerful action tracks like Dogfight and Just Do It, suspenseful and awe inspiring music like Kida Transforms, The Crew's Conscience and The Crystal Chamber, sad like The King Dies and above all, the dramatic reprise of the main theme among ripping brass and speeding strings in Going After Rourke is totally mindblowing! A total winner, along with Dinosaur.
My Rating - ***** -

...Walt Disney World: Millennium Celebration - Gavin Greenaway...
I think this is absolutely the best thing that's ever come out of MV/RC. You can tell it's produced by Zimmer because of the fake brass sound but you can also tell it's written by someone who really can compose proper music. The show itself is magnificent and several thousand people watch it every night and I have done on numerous occasions and you always hear loads of people being complimentary about the music. There are rumours that the show is on a ten-year contract and so will be replaced next year - if so, I hope Greenaway is asked to score its successor.
wow, I didn't know that. (I've never been to WDW) If he'll compose something again, it'd be great.
Have you ever heard BraviSEAmo? It's not as good as WDW's, but I enjoyed it (except the male chorus part... somehow I didn't like it)
NP: The Holiday - Hans Zimmer
I play this very frequently, especially at breakfast or dinner time. Very comfortable! And I like to repeat the first and last track, because simply they're lovely.Labels are for cans, not people. - Anthony Rapp -

It's by Greenaway. You can listen to some extracts here: http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/tds/ … index.html
And it's on CD: http://www.hans-zimmer.com/fr/disco_detail.php?id=496
There is a new "Complete" version, which include songs from the show by Greenaway, but I haven't listened to it. (I just rented the older version, and I've never been to Tokyo DisneySea...

NP: The Thin Red Line - Hans Zimmer
Finally got around to getting this one - with all the positive words I have heard about it I just had to pick it up when I found it cheap.
Still only at the first track, so I can't say much about it yet - the heavy, acoustic feel of harp and low piano toward the end of "The Coral Atoll" is nice however.- What matters is the music - -

One of Hans' best scores till date. The chants are just unearthly...
