[Closed] Now Playing XXXIV

I am playing random zimmer scores on my hard disk..it's got some good pieces, At world's end is far superior but all in all, i am not a great fan of the POTC scores...i prefer him in Gladiator / King Arthur mode...such a shame he's not doing RIDLEY SCOTT'S "ROBIN HOOD", that looks entirely like a Gladiator rip off as a movie. I hope the score gets rejected and Zimmer replaces him

Ah ok. I just asked it because a LOT of people find U93 noise outside the film, which I don't (it's brilliant and beautiful). If you would too, I could discard your comment about Green Zone because I'd know I wouldn't find it noise ;-). Still anyhow, I will blind buy this :p.

You're right there. But Zimmer's the man for this Gladiator-esque sound. But definitely not his army of clones, they tend to produce the most uninteresting stuff there's out there for his kind of films. It's a shame though, that such a director has teamed up with them. What's up with that?

Will it be full of more wailing women crap?

....although that can be done in very creative ways too...see what Dario Marianelli did with AGORA for instance..although yeah, Streitenfield is hardly Dario.

Surely you only mean the women who wail for film music, right?

Well, what can i do? Those guys irritate me from time to time.

s.p. DEAD MAN CHEST

Damn, this is mediocre.

The 1st and 3rd score is much superior.

Weren't you a fan of the 2nd potc score btw?

n.p. HENRI 4 (Zimmer and Jackman)

I am halfway down the album and it seems Jordi's right.

He is credited for the theme heard in the last track (i guess) and in the middle of the first. The same happened in lauras stern (where Zimmer theme was presented in the last track, and he was credited for the use of that theme thought the score).

About Pirates....I never have been a fan of the second DMC score. It was one of the biggest musical dissapointments of my life. The first score is far better (more coherent, and faaar more entertaning) and of course , the thirs is one of my all time Zimmer top scores.
Dead man's chest is not only disjointed, it lacks of structure, mood or climax. Even MI2 music is better than that. (jack sparrow and the kraken are some of my most played tracks ever, thought)

NP:The Dark Night

I changed from SH to this score because it's more appropiate for the night.

I'm not rubish to say it's one of my favourite Zimmer score. While the sound is not as good as other soundscapes created for other sagas (like Bourne scores, or Angels and demons), it is very appropiate for the movie.

"A Dark Knight" is my favourite Zimmer addagio, specially the first 6 minutes and the last 4 (where the 2 notes batman motif has a powerful rendition with percusion and heavye electronics). in the middle of that track you can hear really epic moments, and some creepy stuff who could fit perfectly some horror movie.

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

As for HENRI 4, I heard the whole score and it's obviously just the theme and the end credits piece were Zimmer's credit is due, and it's evident. The rest is unbearably mediocre and uninteresting crap drone. So much for Jackman being RC's next highlight..

Powell's first impotant score was Face Off. While it was a bad copy of Broken Arrow sound, it has really, really good tunes on it , and this is pretty much what makes a composer better than other. His capacity of create melodies (and that's why the talent of compose complex music is being replaced for talent to compose good tunes )

I "believed" a lot in Jackman since he composed good tracks for the recent Zimmer scores. but when he composed "monsters vs Aliens" I automathically knew he is a good "assistant"but another mediocre composer.

I think the Dead Man's Chest score is badly represented on CD which makes it sound more bland than it actually is. There are at least 4 or 5 excellent action tracks left off the album and replaced with more boring tracks like Hello Beastie.

The Dark Knight is fast becoming one of my favorites by Zimmer. Unlike the movie, I like it more and more with each re-visit.

NP: New Moon ~ Alexandre Desplat

Dark skies, rain and the feeling of yearning for a love which far away... is there any score more perfect to express it?
I just love the way Desplat creates images with his music and the way the piano is always present both dominating but also stabilising discretly the whole mood.
