Free Music Review: not at all like the soundtracks
Hit: 1 Stars
I purchase from amazon all the time and never write reviews but this album was so bad I felt compelled to do so - for example the instrumentation used in the True Romance piece is nothing near the soundtrack - if you want a Yani or John Tisch type syrup job with live audience clapping interruptions then this album is suitable -otherwise it is so bad maybe a goodwill box can find a use for it.
The Wings of a Film: The Music of Hans Zimmer Poster
Composer/former Buggles keyboardist Hans Zimmer helped pioneer the fusion of traditional orchestral music with synthesized sounds that both seamlessly mock and supplement the traditionally acoustic. What listeners sometimes mistake for a symphony orchestra in full voice is often but shrewdly manipulated digital samples. Thus, this concert performance (recorded at the 2000 Flanders Film Festival) adds a welcome, truly organic dimension to the best of Zimmer's canon. The composer is featured as a performer (with Dirk Brosse conducting the fine efforts of the VRO Flemish Radio Orchestra), as are many of his frequent collaborators; Lisa Gerrard adds her distinctive vocals to the included Gladiator excerpts, while guitarists Pete Haycock and Heitor Pereira add their familiar flourishes to cues from Thelma and Louise and Mission: Impossible 2, respectively. Reworked music from The Lion King and The Power of One supplement the already familiar, but it's Zimmer's haunting, emotionally compelling "Journey to the Line" (from The Thin Red Line score) that is the collection's unlikely high point. --Jerry McCulleyNew Age Music CDs
