I'll keep an open mind.[/quote] They work for Zimmer. They will sound like Zimmer. He will be more involved than just writing the main theme, he's ...

- Comment Fenton's music for these things is always appropriate but somehow cold and clinical at the same time. Zimmer will provide a much appreciated infusion of passion and energy, at least to my ears from what we have heard so far and knowing all Fenton's scores. Of course it won't be as traditional or ...

- Comment [b]Inferno[/b] - Hans Zimmer Doesn't seem to be very popular but honestly this is the kind of low-key, synthy Zimmer score I used to love from the first half of his career, but a lot more mature in the complexity of the writing and the synths sound fresh and dynamic. It's certainly no Da Vinci ...

- Comment [b]The Disappointments Room [/b]- Brian Tyler So far, this is shockingly mature and accomplished music in comparison to the typical Tyler score. I barely even recognize his signature sound. Excellent dynamic range on the recording too, which is probably part of why it sounds so unlike him...his ...

I can't think of a single score I've enjoyed as ...
