- Comment Here is one example: Zimmer is inclined to uses a lot of block chords, a lot. And this is called "musically uninteresting" and "technically underachieved".

- Comment Today I watched the Wes Craven film "The Breed" and noticed that the film had some nice "old-fashioned horror score" (i.e. not some shitty electrical drone) . So I checked the credit and found it's scored by Marcus Trumpp. I went to his website and found some nice audio samples. ...

- Comment I'm a big big fan of Beltrami's Hellboy (look at my avatar). But I sort of agree with Guillermo here: Marco probably would not fit the second installment very well. I've been listening to the complete edition of Hellboy yesterday, and I heard Beltrami's MAJESTIC theme for the villains. ---If you ...

I'm talking about a protege of a protege of Zimmer, who is clearly brainwashed and thinks that batman chord fits an ancient China ...

Tell me something---if Gregson-Williams is NOT a clone, then why David Buckley, who is a protege of Gregson-Williams, SHAMELESSLY quoted Zimmer's batman chord in The Forbidden Kingdom ? ---In ...

And even then I'll continue downloading commercially-unavailable ...
