Hi John,
Do you have a Hotmail account on your New Year's resolution, lol?
yah, if it is the same cue, I realised it 3 years ago when I first dubbed it onto tape.
I even told Hans when he said he didn't like BOAW, and actually BOAW is used in a few things - at least very short cues, or patches (unique Zimmer trademark sounds).
he said..."Oh yeah", lol.
But I love the main BOAW cue - the 'love' theme - excellent acoustic guitar work, and don't think Hans has ever duplicated a whole theme, definitely patches, but that's style.

Ok, I've created purchasing links for Zimmer titles in the CDiscography!

Saw Bird On A Wire for the second time yesterday and found out that the main theme is a total rip off of a theme from Black Rain. The theme starts 50 seconds in to the Sugai track on Black Rain and lasts for 15 seconds. Anyone else noticed this?

Bula,
Even Hans said it was a radio mix.
I suggest taping it next time you hear it.
Or call the station for a copy.
Or make your own mix.
ps. no use giving a dud email entry.

Have added 22 RA clips from Backdraft (non-CD) and Bird On A Wire, to Zinfo - go enjoy yourself!
Also added 2nd picture with Hans here, others to go up at end of month with report, when I hopefully have replacement scanner.

I'am still looking for Dutch Hans Zimmer fans.
Hi,
Hi all,
Hi all Z fans!!! (He's a real god!!!)
THE TRAILER WAS TAKEN FROM THE DROP ZONE SOUNDTRACK,AS YOU QUITE CORRECTLY NOTICED,A ZIMMER PRODUCTION.HIS MUSIC IS REALLY THE BEST!ALSO THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW GRISHAM MOVIE THE RAINMAKER IS FROM ZIMMERS' BLACK RAIN.
Hans Zimmer's score for "Backdraft" contains a stately theme in several
I've seen The Glimmerman and I think that the score is excellent. Some parts look a bit like Con Air. But there's not much music in the movie.
i don¥t know it at all
I am having trouble ordering the following of Hans' works: Beyond Rangoon, Pacific Heights, Hans Zimmer/Mark Marcina collabortion, Point of No Return. S.O.S. needed to locate the right place to order. Appreciate your help. Thanks.
Just read on the filmmusic newsgroup (in a message from Dr.Eldon) that Trvor Rabin will score Armageddon for Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. Well, actually I would much more have seen Zimmer, Mancina, Van Tongeren or Rona on this film. But let's give him a chance. I haven't seen The Glimmer Man. Any opinions on his score?
Michael,
I recently saw the Fifth Element on video, and there was a trailer for the upcoming Zorro movie. The trailer music sounded extremely Zimmer-esque, and I was wondering whether anyone knows if he is scoring the file. If not, has anyone else seen this trailer and know where the music is from? It is very powerful and I am quite sure it is Zimmer's work. Thanks.
I don't know where the Dark City trailer music came from, but it's awsome. A well thought out trailer that is extraordinary. I especially like the way that the trailer uses only the music and no tlkingg, that,s how I inmagine my trailers when i listen to zimmer on mancina
Hey people. I noticed, too, when I saw Scream 2 this weekend that the the theme for Travolta in Broken Arrow was used directly from the soundtrack for Dewey's character, it was kinda strange to see that in the movie. Also I was wondering if anyone saw the Dark City trailer???? Does ANYONE know what the music in that trailer was from??? It was pretty cool...
Alicia,
Hello friends,
Hello friends,
Yes, it's true, Hans Zimmer's Broken Arrow soundtrack is used constantly used for the David Arquette's character (Dewey). The "cowboy" theme as I call it is really the only part used. Does anyone know if Dimension Films paid Fox to use th music? Was Zimmer credited? He better be.
Well, well.....

Hi, there!
grin,
For those of you who manage to get the TNT channel, their movie preview show Rough Cut spotlighted Kevin Costner's new film "The Postman." Of course, James Newton Howard is doing the film's score, and the show had about a 7 minute story on the film's music. Rough Cut always has something about soundtracks, both on their show and their web site. It's always interesting to see session scoring on TV. I can just imagine 90% of the show's audience saying, "Awww, dammit. Now what the hell are they showing that for? Who gives a s--- about the music?" hehehe...they'll never know....
anyone have any suggestion for any new kick-ass scores that are out (beautiful ones too) that have listenability too
Hi all,
Hello everyone. This is my first time in here. I was looking for other Zimmer fans, and I guess I found the right place! The only CD's of his that I have are Crimson Tide and The Rock, both of which completely WOW me. Can anyone let me know which of his o

I've been a Bond-fan for a long time, and when I heard that David Arnold was going to score the movie, I was rather disappointed. Because I knew him from Independence day, and that aint a great score. But when I bought the CD, I was quite surprised, it's much better than ID4! Ofcource the old Monty Norman 007-theme, but there are some other great pieces of music on the CD.
And the movie is absolutely excellent. (like the 17 previous Bondfilms)

places, notably the funeral scene. The melody evokes some old German
nationalistic anthem; almost "Deutschland uber Alles".
Is this theme original with Zimmer, or did he borrow it?
(No offense intended to Zimmer!)
If it is borrowed, what is the original German tune? I LOVE IT!
Some years ago, I even had the Harvard University Music Department check
this out, and they came up empty-handed!

I must say I am excited about this movie, because the score is being done by (drumroll)......James Horner.
Horner is a favorite of mine (regardless of all the criticism, I still think that some of his material is uncomparable), and he has yet to do a Mexican/Spanish flavored score.
As for the trailer, I don't know. Can anyone help?

When you see a preview for an upcoming movie, whether it be in the theater or on TV, that preview is called a trailer.
Invariably, these trailers are tracked with music to help convey the emotion that the film intends to get at.
Most often, the trailers are put together before production is finished, so producers will temp-track the preview with music from different movies.
For example, the recent promos for Grisham's The Rainmaker, as you probably noticed, use Zimmer's "Charlie Loses his Head" theme from Black Rain. They do this because either the score hasn't been finished yet, or, they're unable to use it for whatever music.
It causes so much discussion because usually trailer music is exceptionally powerful, or beautiful, or emotional. That's the idea of the trailer. But there's never any mention or credit in the trailer that tells you where they got the music, so many people are left to wonder what that great music is that they just heard.
And there ya have it!
Happy Holidays everyone!

I am going to have to agree with Todd. Actually, its something I've been mulling over for a while, and now it's time to address it.
While this does not have to be a place strictly for academics (adhering to every rule of grammar, proper sentence structure, all tha jazz, lol), this IS a place for mature discussion of not only Zimmer, but as you can tell from my posts, every aspect of film music.
From my last post, you can tell that I personally do not have much of a problem with coarse language (even though damn and hell are hardly coarse anymore) But I did edit a certain four-letter word beginning with s, because it wasn't appropriate for this forum. My problem is with the way I've seen it used on this board. It seems as though profanity has become a substitute for intelligent thought. Rich, why is it that you could not say "Excellent Scores" or "Powerful Scores" or anything like that in place of "Kick Ass Scores"? There's always a way to relay your thoughts without degrading them.
As I said before, profanity is not really the issue here. There are very few boards on the web such as this that are devoted completely to film music. It's a chance for the fans to pose their views. Whatever those views are. I respect the difference of opinion, it's part of what makes it a discussion. But please, use it to DISCUSS, not to attack or to whine. This goes out not only to Rich, but the many people I've seen misuse this board.
It was not my intention to offend here, but if I did, I apologize.
Now, let's all look forward to As Good as it Gets.

So your looking for new `kick-ass stuff`, eh? Depends whether you want electronic or orchestral, because electronic is always colder. It`s hard for me to tell which ones you might already have.
Electronic Kick ass - Rock (You prabably have)-Hans Zimmer
K2 - Hans Zimmer
Twister (Mr favourite) - Mark Mancina
Orchestral Kick-ass - ID4 (Arnold)
Home Alone 2 (Williams)
Aliens (Horner-Very hard orchestral and exciting. It may not be melodic, but it`s very dramatic)
Thats all
Max Castro
Hope I helped, let me know what you actually mean by kick-ass. I`ve got 300 score albums. I`m just brainstorming the popular onees. To be honest, the less popular are the finest.

hi di ho.
Yes, I think a few of us have these fantasy score scenarios - actually the NFL uses The Rock, albeit for montages, and main theme - sounded well placed.
For me, it'll still be a wedding march.

Anyhow, the film itself comes out Christmas Day, it's nearly 3 hours long, and for those of you who are wondering, yes, that is Randy Edel-itis striking again in the film's trailer. His "Gettysburg" is used toward the end of the trailer. I'm not really looking forward to the film, and I hope JNH gives us a far better score than for his last three hour epic, Wyatt Earp.
I don't have it yet, but I have heard a clip, and if that is any indication, John Willams' Amistad should be outstanding. Filming was done in my old state of Rhose Island, so I think I'll head over to the theater and see if I can spot some old friends as extras, lol. It's available now on DreamWorks Records. (Why am I plugging them?....hmmmm....well, consider this -- their last score release was none other than The Peacemaker)
Well, Marco Beltrami has gotten the shaft once again. Not even one score track has made it to the soundtrack of Scream 2. Now, I will not let this cloud my judgment of the film. As horror fare it ran a CLOSE second to my favorite all-time horror film, Halloween. The buzz is that the sequel is better (and oddly, it clocks in right at 2 hours, rather odd for a horror film -- should mean the film is well developed.) The score was one of the first film's best assets (Along with Rose McGowan's (Tatum) ass-ets) Original and truly creepy, I look forward to the next
one.
I had a weird idea a little while back (Actually, I have a lot, but this is the only one appropriate for public forum) Imagine huge sports events (college football, NHL hockey, etc) being scored live for the TV audience. To be feasibly, it would have to be done on synthesizers, so I'd pick none other than Hans Zimmer to do it. Imagine, the composer has a little while to compose a main theme for the game, and then he can use it throughout, while utilizing some spontaneous action material. Wouldn't it be nice? (I realize there are many international visitors to this site, so imagine a huge soccer/football game being scored on-site by Hans) GOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!! (Hums the theme to Crimson Tide...)
Any thoughts??????

Let's start december off with a top 10 list of Zimmer's scores. That is, the 10 films where Zimmer's music is best. The film does not need to have a soundtrack album. If you think this is childish, well, then that's your problem...
For a start, here's my list:
Rain Man d:Barry Levinson
Black Rain d:Ridlay Scott
Days Of Thunder d:Tony Scott
Bird On A Wire d:John Badham
Green Card d:Peter Weir
Thelma & Louise d:Ridley Scott
Beyond Rangoon d:John Boorman
Crimson Tide d:Tony Scott
Broken Arrow d:John Woo
The Fan d:Tony Scott
5 of 10 by the Scott bro's, not bad at all!
And what about a bottom 5 list...
Burning Secret d:Andrew Birkin
The Fruit Machine d:Philip Saville
Younger & Younger d:Percy Adlon
Renaissance Man d:Penny Marshall

TLK2 - As Hans is attached to Dreamworks, and Mark Mancina is finally getting his dues on TLKB, it is unlikely that Hans will score TLK2.
Toys - I like it, the extra FYD stuff (from the 12") is nice, and then there's the......haha, which is really cool!
Fly Away Home - I really like it; Isham doesn't really move me normally. Do check out Mortal Thoughts - got RAs on Zinfo. Isham did score 20 minutes of Face/Off before he was replaced, and Jeff Rona said it was really good - in the vein of NIN. High Incid
ent will be out next year.
Titanic - looking forward to it - esp. the Enya-esque boarding cue - best thing I reckon (if it's the one from the trailer).
As Good As It Gets - will be released on a limited basis at Xmas in US cinemas.......hmmmm, Tristar with an art movie? Anyway, hopefully I'll get a good answer about the score by my birthday!
Wootie - "Hey, did you know the Seaborne Legend called into port?" "That's the Speed-boat, right?" lol.
TV - alrighty, I make my national TV debut next Sunday, adapting and hosting 60 Minutes (for a month). Wish me luck! Anchoring Saturday news normally otherwise.
Yamaha - I'm back (trial) selling Yamaha hi-fi on Saturday mornings, and it is just FUN! DVD, widescreen TV, AC-3 Digital amp, 8 speakers, and then watch a whole movie with SCORE ONLY in 6-discrete channels, with a bloody good picture! (Happened to be Mar

And to Mike S: I rented the video too only because of Isham's score which I had heard so much about. It actually was a little too acoustic-sounding for my taste, with a lot of violins and stuff. OK, it suited the feel-good-movie well, but I like Isham bes
t when he combines electronics and acoustics, like in The Net, Nell, Mortal Thoughts and The Getaway.
