I want his job!! I am a composer who works on a much smaller scale than Hans.(pretty obvious since I don't have a fan club) But one of these days!! The studio I work for is featured on the cover of MIX Magazine this month. We have three staff composers and are trying to get into bigger and bigger projects. Anyway, talk to ya'll soon!
I'm a 19 year old guy residing in Singapore.
I started liking Zimmer's music since The Lion King and have been collecting
Zimmer soundtracks ever since.
Anyone wanting to chat Zimmer, movies, books, music or anything else at
all, e-mail me!
Cheers!
I'm Not Sure....It's Pretty Cool As Is.
Mr. Zimmer is the greatest!!
B.T.W. Has he won any Oscars?
Tried Crimson Tide review, but your server would not accept it?
I think he writes great music -
and so do I.
greetings

Before I joined Fox, I was Hans's "Score Wrangler" for 4 years, facilitating the smooth running of his productions.. He is about to do another production for Fox, following the success of 9 Months, called " Broken Arrow" directed by Jon Woo.
I love Zimmer's work in Soundtrack:The Lion King and the Rhythm of the Prideland,especially the latter one. The African-style music in Rhythm of the Prideland are so fantastics!!!
played drums on many sessions for hans, thelma & louise soundtrack being one!
This is phenominal... I always thought I was the only one who saw Zimmer's
brilliance
Its nice to see such a THOROUGH web site!!!
I've always been drawn to music that pulls at my emotions...
Rain Man started my Zimmer collection... followed by Black Rain and Days
of Thunder
I really wish he'd release a composite film score bundle.
On a side note: For those interested in powerful emotional music also check out Vangelis' score to the film 1492 (Ridley Scott) and The Bounty.
(I wish Vangelis had Zimmer's consistency for brilliance...unfortunately Vangelis only seems to shine when he writes music about ships or the ocean!)
Good work!
Where can I find the midi stuff?
As far as i know HZ is composing on Cubase, so wouldn't it be nice to download
his works?
I first heard of Hans Zimmer when I bought the soundtrack to the film Rainman. Since then, I have come to respect him as one of the greatest composers that ever lived. I have forced several of my friends to see certain movies merely because Hans Zimmer scored them. His music is really unlike any other I've ever heard. I was so delighted to see this page. I didn't think anyone but me even knew of this guy's existance. I'm still building my collection, so if anyone has any input as to which are his best scores to buy (as if he'd ever write a bad one) please let me know! Thanks.
Lion King is just great!
It is great having this page and especially this composer! I have followed Zimmer since about 1990 when I "discovered" A World Apart and Rain Man and I haven't looked back since. Like many of you I thought I was the only Zimmer.fan on the planet! By the way: His latest scoring efforts are Something To Talk About and a film called Muppet Treasure Island.
It's a good thing you named this place the Hans Zimmer Worship Page: he is nothing less than the God of Living Composers! Anyone who can write that LK score AND the main theme for "The Critic" (an animated series, now canceled [again] :-( ) will always have my praise. Let us give thanks to the god!
I didn't get into Hans Zimmer until The Lion King. But I instantly recognized his name on the Crimson Tide movie poster. Crimson Tide is one soundtrack I can't get enough of! Looking at the history you all have in here, it appears that Hans Zimmer has a composing background to rival the magnificent, awesome John Williams! I had no idea!
LOOKING FORWARD FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT WITH DISNEY.
Check out the True Romance soundtrack. If you like "I'll do Anything," you'll love "True Romance."
Happy Days to you all!!!
Although I have always appreciated Zimmer's work, be it good movies (Lion King), bad movies (Days of Thunder), or just weird movies (Flatliners), I think that Crimson Tide is by far his greatest achievement as a composer. (And the movie's pretty darn good too..
Lion King music R00LEZ
Zimmer is a god... no other explenation for it... IMHO, his TLK score
in its totality ranks way over any other score in both emotion and power.
Greatest travisty of all is Disney's 44minutes or less policy on their soundtracks.
True, many other composers do have power and insight--Williams, Horner,
Goldsmith, and so on... but for a total package, Zimmer's TLK is #1... IMHO.
Hans Zimmer is the man! His music makes up more than 75% of my soundtrack collection. From Backdraft to Power of One there's a certain type of Zimmer music for every situation.
Hi ! I'm just one of the many people greatly inspired by Zimmer's masterpieces and what really got me sitting up and saying "Who's this guy, he's great!" was " the walk home " from cool runnings. by the way the latest soundtrack to Zimmer's credits is the film "9 Months". Check it out and tell me about it.
I would like to have news about he's new projects.
Congratulations for the WEB.
Zimmer's score for the Power of One is fantastic. After first hearing it 3 years ago on a high school retreat, I was deeply touched. I still make it a habit to listen to the soundtrack (in particular, The Funeral Song), a few times a month - just to reflect. Thank you, Mr Zimmer!
Hans is the greattest... My primary inspiration. I'm a modern MIDI Composer looking to create Zimmer-like Music for comercial/film industriy. I'm trying to get a Digital Audio set-up but BOY is it expensive.. ANyhow, it's back to arranging and compositions for me! :)
He is the best. Period.
A couple of years back I feel in love with the movie, "The Power of One." I wasn't exactly sure at that moment what I really liked about it. Granted, it is a wonderful movie, but something else made it amazing! I soon realized that the music was what drew me into a strong affection for the movie. The moving chords, the pulsing rhythms, and moody dynamics created warm emotions and sent goosebumps down my arms. Since then, I've been a fan of Zimmer's music. "The Lion King" score was great! But my current favorite is "Crimson Tide." I give it two thumbs up.
I am not a fan of soundtracks done with electronic instruments, er, I wasn't until I heard Rain Man (which I'd like more info on if anyone's got it) and Greencard.
Hans Zimmer first struck my ear as a brilliant artist the first time i saw the lion king. Unfortunately, I had no idea what soundtracks he composed for. Whenever new movies came out, I always scanned the brief credit screens at the end of tv commercials and whenever Hans Zimmer caught my eye, i went out and saw the movie. I can safely say that Hans Zimmer did a brilliant job on the movies "Crimson Tide" and "Nine Months" as well. By the way, this is a wonderful page. I know I'll link this one to my home page once i get it up.
Nothing much
Hans is one versatile and talented cat. I met him last year through my
client and good friend Lebo M. I spent many hours in Hans' Santa Monica
studio with Jay Rifkin, Lebo and JVT mixing the tracks for Rhythm of the
Pride Lands. Any of your who dig Hans' music should buy this album. The
music is deeply moving -- brilliantly executed. The album is on Walt Disney
Records and (unfortunatley!!) not listed under Lebo's name. Just look for
the Lion King score, and you should find Rythms right next to it.
Interesting tidbit: Lebo is a black South African who grew up under apartheid
rule. He pretty distrusting of white folks until he came to the US. He told
me that when he met Hans, it was the first time that he really connected
with a white person. Musta been their mutual love of music....
Great page well set out and great info.....
I have been a Zimmer fan for a few years now, and have finally decided
to get off my butt and get as many of his soundtracks as I can!!! :-)
Feel free to email me with any suggestions!!
Hello everyone! I am an aspiring film composer who is studying Commercial Music with an emphasis in composition and arranging at Belmont University in Nashville. I am nineteen years old and appreciate any advice from any of you out there that could help point me in the right direction. I have a lot to learn and am working hard to become a good musician (although we all know that most of that comes from within). I have had the oppurtunity to compose music for a couple of commercials for the Family Channel and be involved with people back in my hometown area of Tidewater, VA in other various projects. I respect the works of all creative musicians, especially such creations of film composers. I am a big fan of Hans Zimmer and hope one day to meet him. Well, enough said...please write me with any advice or comments. Sincerely,
Mark T. Williams
HZ is without doubt one of the master film composers. The goosepumps and the shivers down the spine whilst watching TLK are the best indicators of the goal being achieved, viz. creating music which reflect the moods and atmosphere of the movie.
The question is: Is he better that other Disney composers like Ashman/Menken and Washington/Harline ??
Hans Zimmer is one of the greatest composers ever born, and in a few decades people will realize that he was the W. A. Mozart of our time.
I compose music myself, and Hans Zimmer has inspired me a lot.
indeed a worship page is approriate for hans! i am lucky enough to know and have worked with him in 1988 - a genius and one of the nicest people i know. he gives us composers inspiration and somewhere to aim for. i paricularly respect his acknowledgment of the great classical masters even though his la studio now looks like the control room of the enterprise! thank you for setting a page up for him i am sure he appreciates it!
I was recenlt visiting with Martin Erskin who did some work on the Pocahantas score and we were listening to some of the preliminary stuff that he and Hans were working on for Dreamworks first animated film "The Prince of Egypt" due out in 1998 Sounds great!!!
To all of you aspiring film composers out there, I have seen the industry and have learned a lot about the people in the music business. It is extremely competitive and I learn something new everyday. Various people I have worked with are all amateur composers compared to the likes of Hans Zimmer, however, they are all linked to major composers and giant, Hollywood producers and directors. My advice to people is to keep writing music and make as many contacts as possible. Persistence goes a long way. Give me an E-mail if you need help in writing or need some management that will give you some work.
Great looking page--one of the better non-comm ones I've seen!

After seeing The Lion King for the 12th time I realised something: I am a Zimmer fan! After checking up on his previous work it became apparent that I've been a fan for longer than I thought. As I am an avid soundtrack collector (without any of Zimmer's I'm ashamed to say), I'll surely be investing in a couple of Zimmers very soon.
Happy listening!
I agree with Brian's point of view of the Lion King! To me, it is the
best musical performance of an animation film I have experienced.
I love the mystical and powerful musical expressions throughout the composition.
One can actually feel Simba's pain when his father is murdered, feel the
tension and excitement of the battle between Simba and Scar, and my favorite,
when Simba takes his place as King of Pride Rock. I don't think there will
ever be a recording so magnificent as The Lion King. I praise Zimmerman
for his spectacular work and I hope that in the future there will be many
more soundtracks composed by him. Thanks!!!
Mary Elizabeth Gosnell
He's really great, isn't he? I was most impressed with the rockin intro to "Point of No Return." The first instrumental in "The Lion King" sndtrk is great too. I would really like to meet him someday. Doesn't he use "ghost writers?" I would like to be on for him.
Thanks
Dean Edwards
I am a big fan of original score soundtracks, but no one (not even John Williams) can compare with Hans Zimmer!
watch out for the Broken Arrow score, it's going to be MEGA... (do the words Waldorf Wave mean anything to anyone? How about Nord Lead?)
He's a dude.
Hi!, What can I say? I like Hans Zimmer's music very much. It's all.
I Think hE iS ReaLy gOOd
I love him
I discovered and loved Zimmer since Pacific Heights. I am trying to find all scores from my favorite composer and now I'm looking for the score of Africa-The Serengeti and Bird on a Wire. Please, If you can help me, send me a mail...
Hanz Zimmer by far my favourite modern day film composer! It is getting to the stage that I might decide to go and see a film just because he wrote the soundtrack! Yesterday I saw Crimson Tide for the first time - wonderful film - wonderful soundtrack! I think my favourite Zimmer track has to be 'THE WALK HOME' on the Cool Runnings soundtrack, quite brilliant!
Created some of the Sound FX on K2.
For me Hans Zimmer leads together with Vangelis and John Williams the group of modern film composers.
I like everything of his stuff. It begans as I saw RAIN MAN.
Greetings to all fans out there.
Urs
Where do I get his published scores for an in depth study in his harmony and form?
HI EVERYONE Like you all im a huge Zimmer fan and its great to see so
much net space given to the man
Im also interested in his production space called"Cyberia"
if anybody has any ideas please mail me!
More power to you all!!!!!!!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------
I like Zimmer's music since "Blasck Rain", by the time, I decided to become a film score composer like him.
The brilliance of some of Zimmer's earliest work: e.g. "First Born", one
track from which can be found on certain BBC compilation albums.
Plus the fact that the score for "Regarding Henry", despite being a replacement
at short notice for George Delerue's score, is in fact the greatest piece
of music ever written for film.
I've just skimmed through the "complete filmography" section, and, for the most complete of completists, also check out Hans' contribution to "Where Sleeping Dogs Lie" (c.1992) and "Lifepod" (c.1991), both co-composed with Mark Mancina. Looking at these two, plus the score for "Space Rangers", I detect a kinda mentor theme here. (Could it not be unlike Hans' earlier days with Stanley Meyers, or like Hans' relation now with Nick Glennie-Smith? He's quite a philanthropist...There are some weird (albeit cool) credits for Zimmer, too: check out Paul Hardcastle's thanks to him for lending him keyboards (on the back of the single, "The Wizard"). And, AND - this is important for British fans of Zimmer - did you know that he co-composed the music for "Going For Gold"? Can we really take him seriously, anymore? (And, yes, I have actually watched the show in order to get this information. I'm sorry. I'll go now, then...).
Nothing much, except that i am a huge fan of his works and have a complete
set of his works. I started of with Backdraft which i still think is the
number one soundtrack he has ever made ! But besides that i do not usually
compare his soundtracks to each other, because every soundtrack is very
different from the others which is exactly what i like about him: his diversity
! He has proven that he masters all kinds of musical instruments and orchestrars,
so briely said he never produces monotone and, well, boring music as many
composers has a tendency to do. One of those is by my oppinion James Horner,
i mean every time you see a movie with his movie it is either a variation
of the Aliens theme or Willow theme (the only two of his work that IS great).
Am i the only one with these sentiments ?
Feel free to write me at: krkr94ad@hp3.econ.cbs.dk
Just checking in...
Is there a complete list of Hans Zimmer film scores that are on CDs?
What are current and soon to be released movies featuring Hans Zimmer's
music?
Hanz Zimmer is obviously a very gifted composer. I would say that he second
only to, if not equal to, John Williams. Hi s work in Crimson Tide and The
Lion King was a stroke of pure genius. I have heard that he is also doing
the score for the upcoming movie The Saint. The music in the preview of
this is the same as the music for Crimson Tide. If anyone knows anything
about this, please e-m@il me @ lema@ismi.net, I would very much appreciate
some info on this. Thank you, I wonder what Hans Zimmer did to become such a great filmcomposer as he
is today. Music-technology is something special and can be used in many
different ways. I prefer filmcomposing, which is something I would like
to know more about. In my country there is no kind of education like filmcomposing,
so if anybody knows anything about this, please mail me.

HANS IS THE GOD OF MUSIC!!!! HE HAS DONE A SUPERB JOB ON ALL OF HIS SOUNDTRACKS
ESPECIALLY THE ROCK...
hi fellow worshipers of the one and only true God "Hans Zimmer". I'm new
to the internet and am extremely anxious to get in contact with any other
fans. I have in my collection 24 og his soundtracks and would greatly appreciate
any information on those which I do not possess, particularly "A World Apart",
"Bird on a Wire", "Pacific Heights".
I thought I was the only person interseted in Hanz's music. Man! This page rules big time. I've been looking everywhere for this kind
of Homepage. With the outbreak of the Lion King, I was only 13 years old. Strange as
it was, for some reason I wanted the Lion King Soundtrack had a very good
tune to it. I enjoyed the killing of Simba's father, and the returning of
Simba's father in the clouds. The music rolling at that time was breathtaking.
I bought the track and enjoyed it so on. Later arrived Crimson Tide. And
later, The Rock. All three soundtracks having a mysterious catch to them.
It was Hans Zimmer! This guy is good, and I love the way he creates the
music with digital synthisizers and other pieces of technology. My favorite
composer was John Williams. Now it's Hans Zimmer!
I've been a great fan of Zimmer since I saw Backdraft, though I had known
him from the score for Rain Man. Dear Zimmer, Dear Zimmer, Hans Zimmer is a GOD ! Hans Zimmer is the god of composing!! I would give my soul to meet him...
His style should be the standard that all composers should go by. In my
personal opinion his best sound track is The Rock. I can live off of that
sound track....Thganks for your time
Hi fellow fans! Hi there! i am looking for a soundtrack of the tv film "high incident"
i like the music from mr. zimmer especially the soundtracks from "crimson
tide" and "the rock" i like the music from mr. zimmer especially the soundtracks from "crimson
tide" and "the rock" hes cool
Hans is the best!Especially Crimson Tide and Pacific Heights!
Would any other Hans Zimmer fans like to see the "Thelma and Louise" soundtrack
released and this time have it include Hans Zimmer's score? It really irritated
when I bought the CD and found out that it only had a "bonus" track, at
the very end, with one short edited version of HZ music. Gee, didn't something
similar happen to Danny Elfman and the original Batman soundtrack...they
released it first with Prince's music and then released a soundtrack with
Danny Elfman's score?? In any case, this is one fan who enjoyed Hans Zimmers
music from Thelma and Louise and would like to have it available on CD.
The only CD in the entire world that I need is Broken Arrow, and that's
all I need. Well ok Crimson Tide as well, but that's it, except for Drop
Zone. I need no other music aside from those 3 scores, and Backdraft. Like
I said, those 4 scores are all I need to be happy... as long as I have Millenium,
The Lion King, The Rock, etc... ahh well I guess I'm just another hopelessly
devoted Zimmer Fan! The only CD in the entire world that I need is Broken Arrow, and that's

Hans Zimmer is an awesome composer. I'm 15 years old and I've played his
music to al my friends and they love it. I just want to say he's the best
composer in the world.
I love his work, especially on the Lion King
Hans Zimmer ROCKS da da da da da da da da da da...da da da da da da da
da....da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da......da da da da da da.da
da da da da...da da da da da da da da!!!!!!!!!in the midst of tracks 2 and
8 from the Rock!! da da da da dana, da da da da dana...dana da da da da
da da da da....dana da da da da da da.
You all know that Hans repeats a Lion King theme in Crimson Tide, I know that this is impossible, but does anyone I know that this is impossible, but does anyone I just want to say that Hans makes beautiful music. .....Thanks for much wonderful Soundtracks
I have rcently heard that H. Zimmer can be compared with Mozart, but this
is not true. Compared with Zimmer Mozart is nothing. There was only one
Classic Composer of the same genius like H. Zimmer: Richard Strauþ. The
last five minutes of the K2 soundtrack really sound like the classical masterpiece
"Also sprach Zarathustra". There is however a relation with Mozart's "Ave
Verum Corpus" in TLK and House of the Spirits (piano part after LaPaloma)sountrack.
Everytime I listen to calssical music, or to the works of James Horner,
which are great as well (Glory...) and then play e.g. The Rock track 8,
or Backdraft 7, 8 it seems that this music blows all other music away. H.
Zimmer is for sure the greatest composer of he past, the present and I really
do hope that sometimes there will be a composers like him in future times
again. Some reallllllly great music. Simple but oh so effective, and sensitively
polished. Good food! :-)
Has anyone seen the BLACK RAIN soundtrack?! I want :)
I have been enthralled with Hans Zimmer's music since I first heard a
trailer for Crimson Tide, which I saw just to hear the music. I have been
searching for other Zimmers soundtracks ever since. Just got on line and
found this. Thanks to all for your reviews, I'm off to the CD store now!!!
the score for "true romance" is one of the best scores i've ever heard
! i think that there is no composer in the world that could have captured
such strong emotions and such strong effect in music that gives unforgiven
pleasure.i dont know how to thank him for his genius music' all i can say
that it really changed my life and i thank him for that!
I've been following film music for years. Ithink I discovered Hans Zimmer
with the theme from RAIN MAN but the first score I owned was BACKDRAFT.
Then I tried to get more infos and of course scores made by, yes one of
the most gifted, atmospheric and melodic film composers. Probably my favourite
Zimmer score is BLACK RAIN, competing with CRIMSON TIDE, which made that
Tony Scott film much superior. I must fight all sort of dudes that don't
enjoy him around here and anyway being a film score collector in Romania
it's not easy. So I add here the list of all his scores I own hoping one
of the more generous Zimmer fans worldwide could help me enlarge or complete
my collection. Just to let you know that I have created a great Web-Site on Monica
Seles. reading some of the reviews on zimmer's work really helps on finding out
what i like and i thank you
Have a nice day! The first ever Zimmer track I bought was 'The Power of One', 4 years ago.
I loved the movie, but now I've come to realize that I loved the movie because
of the music on it. Same for 'The Rock', which is a terrible movie, too
'clichÈ', but the music... MAN! It can turn an awful movie into a winner!
I love Hans Zimmer's music. Everywhere you look his name pops up. He never
ceases to amaze me !!
Zimmer's music is among my favorites. His use of synths (thematic or percussive)
is impressive. "Crimson Tide" and "The Rock" (though similar in style) are
well done. Hi!
I first heard Hans Zimmer with "Rain Man". I have been a huge fan since
then. Days of thunder and the lion king are two of my favorites also. I
can only dream of having half his success some day. Please E-mail me if
you know of any studios looking for a staff composer. I will gladly relocate.
Just wanted to say hi, so...hi. Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and Christopher Franke are the only composers
the world NEEDS for movie and television scores!
I've been looking for something just like this. Hans Zimmer is a musical
genius.
I LOVE the score to Muppet Treasure Island.
Hello!
I'm 17 years old, and although if I'm a young little man, I know what
is a good soundtrack. THE ROCK is a very good soundtrack. CRIMSON TIDE is
a very very good soundtrack. All those and more by Hans Zimmer! He's a KING...
When you listen to Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, you enter a new world. And
then... a better world! I collect Hans's music but i thought i was the only one!!!! He is a composing
GOD!!! this is a cool idea!!! HANS ZIMMER YOU ARE THE MAN. I HAVE MANY OF HIS SOUNDTRACKS: CRIMSON TIDE(THE
BEST), DROP ZONE, BACKDRAFT, TOYS, SOON TO COME INTO MY HANDS POINT OF NO
RETURN AND THE LION KING. AND IF YOU GET THIS E-MAIL HANS, IF YOU HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DO A STAR TREK MOVIE TAKE IT.
My nephew, Eugene Barry Hill has the role of understudy on Broadway in
the Lion King
I am desperate for all His scores. This may be an unpopular statement
but I need all this for a music assgnmemt. But I like Hans anyway
Hans Zimmer is da bomb. Why? Because he worked with my fav singer Lebo
M.
Thanx for 'The Lion King'! Bay.
I "discovered" Zimmer after Crimson Tide, But I think my favorite is The
House of the Sripits. I enjoyed reading through your site. Thanks Jim H.
The new Score of Hans "The Peacemaker" is the best score ever! Hans Zimmer ce bruut
Is nice to know people that know how to appreciate I really enjoy Zimmer's work, but I don't think Lion King is his best.
I prefer Greencard, True Romance or Crimson Tide.
I just saw Peacemaker, Zimmer made it twice as good as it was.!!
I just have to say that I think Hans Zimmer is a GOD! Listening to Zimmer is the best - don't think about the rest!!!
As soon as you hear a new release. Mail me please!!!
JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE HIS WORK. HE BRINGS THE WORD MUSIC INTO ANOTHER
DIMENTION! THINK I SPELLED IT WRONG. BUT WHO CARES! LIFES A BITCH AND THEN
YOU DIE.
It is amazing how many people have noticed Mr. Zimmer's work. When I go
to school and talk to my friends about the music to the rock or crimson
tide, they look at me with blank faces. I had no idea that there was this
great amount of people that listen to his music. I for one cannot get enough
of the music. I have four Cd's composed by Mr. Zimmer, and four more on
my '97 christmas list. Mr. Zimmer is a very talented composer who can write
an outstanding piece of music. I think I would have to say that his best
works are the Rock and the Lion King.
I wonder what Hans Zimmer did to become such a great filmcomposer as he
is today. Music-technology is something special and can be used in many The first time I heard Maestro Zimmer was on Lion King. The first time
I was floored by him was Crimson Tide. I can't get enough of the soundtrack.
I used to get home from a party and have my nightcap with the soundtrack
cranked up. Great dreams!!! But, what did he do with "The Rock"? It was
leftovers & the same themes with a few inverted passages. No matter, still
great dreams. Greatest movie scores: Gone With the Wind, Jaws, Star Wars
--- years of drought and then Crimson Tide.
I came across this list rather accidentally. I just knew Hans from a couple
of his moviescores, yeah, and of course he was some sort of synth hero.
His collection of modular stuff is just incredible. I¥d love to work in
his studio for a couple of hours, days, weeks,months, years... The ambient music adds quite the artistic appeal to the project. I am
greatly thankful that one could come up with such ingenious The ambient music adds quite the artistic appeal to the project. I am
greatly thankful that one could come up with such ingenious Hi folks: Love it or leave it...
Again... I think Hans is the best composer in the whole world I think Hans is the best composer in the whole world I'am looking for the Crimson Tide music who is never released on the Soundtrack.

Hans Zimmer is simply the greatest composer in Hollywood. His music turns
a dull movie into a great one, and over the last five years I've been looking
out for his name in the movie credtis. There aren't many other composers
that manage to create wonderful and melancholic tunes that fits perfect
into the movie like Hans Zimmer. Favourite soundtrack; Crimson Tide.

Gespuer fuer Schnee",

I can't stop listening to it
I'm always emotionaly touched by it.
I know a lot of people who adore his music but I've never
meet a girl with the same feelings about it.
That's kind of a pitty but anyway, he's the best.

I gathered until now more than 200 soundtracks, mostly film scores cos that's
the real thing, not the songs they tape and re-tape to sell more albums.
My other favourite composers are Danny Elfman, Ennio Morricone-mostly his
early work, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith but as well one of my all time
favourites is Mike Oldfield's music for THE KILLING FIELDS all the work
John Carpenter had done to create more atmosphere and supense to his films.
But as I'm writing here I must admit that most often I play my Hans Zimmer
tapes. Yes, I record tapes, I don't have any scores on cd's 'cos that would
be a major excentricity here. So I leave here my address, maybe some of
the old-fashioned guys that are still writing letters would like to get
in touch with me. As for Hans Zimmer music, any tapes sent to me would be
most appreciated by a true film music freak.
ALIN LUDU DUMBRAVA / str.Horia nr.63 / BRASOV 2200 / ROMANIA.
You can get in touch with me at any of the e-mail addresses above
and I'd love to hear from some devoted fans around the globe. As for my
wishes for HANS ZIMMER I hope he would compose a score for a James Bond
movie- a must for his incredible capability of scoring action pieces and
he's on my dream list to score my movie I still hope I'll make in one of
my most schizoid wishes.
Keep Rockin' yours, ALIN LUDU DUMBRAVA, 12.06.1997.

creations. I hope that his future works will rival his almost
insurmountable tasks of the past, and lead us to know there are
no limits to the potential of one who strives to make music worth listening
to. He pulls and tugs at our attention for brief and concise moments of
time, just enough to leave a lasting impression. People like myself need
these times to reflect on our very spiritual nature, and he has helped us
to unlock it, and notice it with full force what it really means. I hope
that in the future, other masterpieces may be created by him to provoke
our very nature, and place our very deepest beliefs high up on a pedistal
to be examined. You never grow out of needing such inspiration and imagination
that can be given by this genius of modern music. Please do consider what
I speak, for it is the truth, and such that I have never said about any
