FSM and Zimmer

Howdy!

Just was looking at the Film Score Monthly website, and these guys who call The Rock the worst score of the year, also say in one spot that when the 90's are over, people will see Zimmer as one of the most influental composers of the decade along with Elfman, Serra and Goldenthal. I agree with Zimmer and Elfman, while I don't know about the other two. Wish they would make their mind up.

They also said it was official that David Arnold was doing the next Bond flick. Hope it's better than ID4, which I thought sounded like Williams having a bad bowel attack. Real loud and all over the place.

Zimmery do dah, Zimmery day, my oh my what a Zimmery day...

See Ya's

Hello people! I haven't been around for a LONG time (around when Yumbo started appearing around here :) ). Anyways been busy but I'm back into the discussion.

I still can't believe Zimmer was voted worst composer by that mag (I won't even mention its name). Who did they vote as best?!?!

Zimmer and Williams have the honor as being my heros of film music who have been my inspiration for my own writing (which still needs A LOT of development). I would do anything to meet these two!

Anyways, I have not stopped listening to the Rock since I bought it last year! A couple of you mentioned that Zimmer should do an orchestral score and that will get him the recogition that he deserves. I beg to differ. I think Zimmer's expertise with electronic instruments is why he's up there. How many composers can you name that have been able to make electronic music sound the way he makes them sound? They're about as close to an orchestral as you can get! Besides, I don't think you can play half the stuff he does on an orchestra. The textures he achieves are very unique to his style of writing.

Whoever called Zimmer's music garbage probably never listened to it to begin with. It not only brings great depth to the films he composes for but also stands alone by itself. I'm one of many living examples that can testify that Zimmer's music does not need the movie to be enjoyed.

Even my friends who are not interested at all in film music sit up and take notice when they hear good music and Zimmer's music comes up a lot. I'm just rambling here but I just couldn't stand by while some goof in a mag trashes one of my heroes. Although I don't enjoy listening to some composers, I must say that no one composer is deserving of that low of a title. Film composition is such a difficult job sometimes having to sacrifice your creativity for sychronization with films yet they pull it off so well!

Well there it is. That's my opinion on the matter. Talk to you folks later! BTW what ever happened to that petition thing? I got sent a lot of email on it but I didn't have a change to respond. Anything come of it?

Nick GS has almost completed HA3, and I presume JW was busy on other projects, with a hefty Dreamworks schedule. Hmmm, he took over from Basil eh (on Seagal pics)? Guess the Rabin referral may be 'true'. (Just made that up, lol.)

Guess we can expect an orchestral, Cool Runings, calendar Girl-ish sound.

Jeffrey Rona - still busy on his 4 simultaneous TV Series underscoring, and capping it off with 2 independent movies as well. He works on holidays too.

Seems like ex-Media Ventures member Nick Glennie-Smith soon will join the A-list of composers. He is now scheduled to score both "Home Alone 3" (where is ooooold dude Williams?) and the new Steven Seagal vehicle "Fire Down Below."

I'm pretty excited about this. Will we still hear the Zimmer-influences, or is he going for his own style?

By the way, I'm also waiting to see Jeff Rona on a new major picture. What has he been doing since "White Squall"? Writing articles for Keyboard?

My Last copy of "Film Score Monthly" subscription just ran out.
I will not be RE-Subscribing.
I agree with most of you. He is bias in is writing.
Zimmer is good stuff, but by no means is he the best.
I have Horner, Goldsmith,Williams, Barry, Arnold, Poledouris and others in which I love also.
Not all composers can make a winner every time they score a
Film sountrack. Zimmer is by no means "Worst Composer"
I have about 26 Zimmer CD's and will continue to buy them as
well as my other Composers.
Lets not stoop down to their level.
You wont see me trashing a Composer, but I will give my opinion
on a Score, whether I like it it or not.
All Composers deserve credit for their writing. I wish I could
do it. Thnaks for reading. Keep on Zimmering. "The Rock" is powerful and I agree, not the best score, but a good score.
Thanks, Doug Friend

and if it's Horner, well, shoot me, lol.



Alrighty, I asked who did what on the Rock, Smilla, and WWW:

The Rock - Hans (themes), Harry (sewer, fireball bits - at least), Nick (orchestra bits); a TEAM effort.

WWW - mostly Harry.

Smilla - ditto.

Film Score Monthly

E-mail: mskerrit@umich.edu
Location: School...but not for long!!!!

I'm glad someone brought this topic up. The only thing that separates Film Score MOnthly from a junior high school newspaper is a fancy cover (and that's a first for this issue!) Lukas Kendall, the boy who publishes it, is a twirp. He's pushy, arrogant , and his writing talents have gone to waste. He even lies about how many subscribers he has just to get new people to sign on. And barring such errors, just take a look at the quality of writing inside. Profanity has no place in a film score review, y et these words are thrown about in the magazine as if it were a locker room. So for those of you who like Zimmer and were pained at seeing his name shamed like this, take heart. Realize that those who shamed him are probably your little brother's friends .

"Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."

While most Europeans sleep, and Australians wake up....

Silva Screen - I wouldn't mind if they used more ORIGINAL versions.

FSM - agreed.

Goldenthal - Michael Collins - I like Gaelic stuff, and the end title, which is a duplicate of his (acceptable) HEAT, though he imitates Horner with bits. Pity that Australian music students have ot study him as coursework.

Jerry Goldsmith.....(like Randy Edelman) is a cool theme-smith, but when it comes ot filling in cues with Rambo-twanging....shudder, lol.

Orchestral...well, Backdraft is the closest you'll get, and I'd say it's one of the best you'll get.

Besides, Hans fills in the limitations of an orchestra with his synths, and if you wanted a pure orchestral score, Zimmer wouldn't be a composer (see the picture?). You'd get re-hashed Williams etc. What's new?

Onward!...while Crimson Tide plays (been a while, lol).

Film Score Monthly and more
Brian Bilby
E-mail: bbilby@45acp.com
Location: Jackson,MI USA

I just wanted to post my opinion on a couple of recent postings to this page.

1)Film Score Monthly- I read it just for the news and interviews. As far as the reviews go, their screwed. They hate Zimmer,Horner(with a passion),but they sometimes like Goldenthal(YECH!!!!). Forget them, they don't know how to appreciate film music anyw ays. I listen to it and like it by it's listening quality outside the film, but good film music is writtn to match the actions of the film and enhance the atmosphere of the scene. They want music that is just pleasant to listen to, and could care less abo ut the impact on the film.

2)Silva Screen- Yea they put some real crap out there, but they have put out some good stuff like Goldsmiths Legend music and a few others.

3)Zimmer- I used to dismiss Hans and crew myself until I bough some of his stuff and started listening, and now I'm hooked. I still like a good orchestral score better, but the man sure can deliver a driving, pulse pounding score. I think he's been knocke d by alot of people just like Horner because he's young and has knocked the music scene on their butts. What he has to do is deliver a huge scope score with a large orchestral composition and then they will have to eat their underwear. I have been convert ed, but I do not think he's is the best around though. I still think that Jerry Goldsmith has that honor until he's dead and buried.

See Ya

I know this is a worship page, but I just have to mention this. In the newest edition of Film Score Monthly Hans Zimmer is labelled 1996's worst composer. The article looks at various aspects with last year's film scores, and The Rock is said to be the wo rst score. It tells us that "It took three people to make this rubbish."

Our man doesn't seem too popular among the individuals behind this mag. What should we do about it, folks?

Re: FYD $60?
Yumbo
E-mail: imc@top.net
Location: the rain

morning Dougie,

yup, due to record companies not supporting the boot tracks, some fellows in the UK decided to make a bit of money for themselves and a few of us 'happy'.

I actually paid US$98 for my copy. The following week, it was available for $55. How do you think I felt?

part of supply vs. demand.(Some rare titles have fetched more than $140!)

who knows where the copies come from. it's a boot among lots of there (other titles), and a pretty decent one. It's a good buy if you don't have the tracks that have already been released, but are out of print, or too expensive to buy individually.

I bought it specifically for the FYD title tracks (4), Days of Thunder track, Bad Boys, fair game, Thelma, Assassins. I was satisfied from that perspective.

There was sposed to be only 100 copies, but i believe they made more, bringing the price down. It is now getting more rare again.

The Rock - haven't asked Hans as to who wrote what. Will do. Same for WWW and SSS. My guess would be that hans wrote the main themes, and Harry (and Nick) expounded on them, filled in some cues, with Hans supervising and filling the gaps. Nick has LONG be en sharing writing with Hans, just not headlined. Just political that Hans gets top billing - requested by studio.

I would say he definitely wrote the main Rock theme, and track 6. Nick would have done track 3 and 7. Haven't listened to any of Harry's numerous SOLO projects to ascertain his style.

Star Wars - yes, that would be nice for Hans to do it, same for a James Bond movie, or a Spielberg one. Bit fed up of Williams in that respect.

anyway, have a better day, and keep Zimmering.

zoodles,
Chris

Zup all you Zimmer cronies?

Has Mark Mancina found a new home in here or something? lol

Just saw The Rock again last night and realized a few things regarding the score -- I have never been a HUGE fan of the score, but I have to say that Zimmer's main theme in this film is far more appropriate dramatically than most others. There are three key points in the film where the score rises above its action cliche roots:
1) The main title sequence, where soldiers are being laid to rest and Gen. Hummel visits the grave of his wife -- not when the rockets are stolen, but these moments before that....In a film where character development is nearly non-existant, the brooding theme immediately adds a texture to Hummel's character
2) The scene midway through the film where the entire SEAL team is massacred by the Marines. While most of the action set pieces during the film are scored with bombastic cues, the music here lends itself to the sorrowful nature of the scene, where Humme l -- if for only a few moments -- realizes the impact of what he's done. Once again, a prime example of the drama of the theme.
3) One of the last scenes, where five of the remaining remains become invloved in a Quentin Tarantino-ish standoff. (Do not read on if you haven's seen the film, lol) The scene ends with a violent -- if predictable -- end, where a confused man with confu sed intentions finally realizes what he's done, and pays the mortal price. While a naturally dramatic moment in the film, the music once again rises above its mediocrity and becomes an elegy for the fallen general. Well done, Hans/Nick/Harry

Well, there you have it....Say, why was Harry Gregson-Williams given credit on the CD, but not in the opening credits? Perhaps his name was during the end credits......oh well....

For all of you captivated by this little spiel (and I know that's all of you, lololol,) look forward to the future. A sequel is already in the works......

Zimmer and page in general
Brian Bilby
E-mail: bbilby@45acp.com
Location: Jackson,MI

Just came to your page for the first time. It's nice that you allow us to post our opinions here. I would like to address several points here.

1) Hans Zimmer- I have never really been into his music that much until recently when I bought Crimson Tide, The Rock and Broken Arrow. I thought his music was good in these movies, but had a tendency to be over mixed in the film. Typical Bruckheimer. Bu t I like the music alot better on its own. I like his use of driving themes. He does sort of repeat himself and his music does sound familiar from score to score sometimes, but I don't think that that is him being lazy or repetitive. It's called style. Ea ch composer has his own style and sound. That's why they are hired. You know what your going to get. People try this labeling crap on Horner too, but he has a sound a style of his own too.

2)I agree Goldenthal really sucks a majorly big one. I usually cringe when I see his name in the credits of a movie. He's a hack.

3) I really screwed up a while ago. A big music store chain locally had 3 copies of Regarding Henry in their clearance bin new for $6.00 each. I bought one and traded it. Then when I found out how hard it was to get, I went back to get the others, but the y were gone. One learns.
See ya all later

Other cryptic notes on early Mark Mancina & Ingris Pitt may appear soon. Possible subjects of discusion may include:
- Would the band be named Before Igor or Ingris Pitt.
- Early Pitt; circa early 1972
- Late Pitt; circa late 1972
- Mancina's secret lust for Valerie, Stevenson's girlfriend
- Mancina's first girlfriend; circa early 1972
- His first true booty; circa late 1972
- Mark gets his driver's license: 1973
- The early undiscovered tapes tentatively titled "Canine Love". These tapes are rumored to exist in the dark, sinister bowels of Newport Beach, CA.
- Mancina's hair turns blonde after his first surf trip.
- "Bust at the Beach"
- The Mater Dei spring gig when Woody turned off the auditorium lights.
- Rumors of a split between Pitt members.
- The breakup and its aftermath.
- Tobin's days Lost in Los Angeles.

hi zall,

I'd rather be a fool, than be nobody......lol.

ok, Radio Flyer is not 'least known', is it? grin.

A mighty thank you to Brian 'Boo' Tiemann for creating the Worship Page and this Zoard, and for being a great collaborator.

In this past freshman year, we have had 490 messages left here, big and small, useful and trivial!

August 96 was the busiest with a whopping 77 entries, and December being the slowest with only 18 entries. The Zoard averages 35 entries a month.

Here's to many more........let's appreciate what we have.....

smiles...

Always,
Yums aka Chris.
