Famous not only for Lion King
Jason Bice
E-mail: bice.17@osu.edu

This is for anyone who admires Zimmer for his Lion King work:

If you liked the Lion King work, then grab the soundtrack to both Backdraft and The Rock as soon as you can. They are similar in style, but the energy ommitted is beyond inspirational and moving. If you haven't heard these two titles through their entir ety, then do it, for you haven't listened yet to the true Hans Zimmer.

By the by, he also wrote the track to Basic Instinct, which I have yet to hear. If you have, let me know how it compares.

hi all,

Visit Zinfo to have a listen to the new Backdraft track off the Ron Howard compilation - Passions and Achievements! I'll write a mini-review comparison for Zinfo soon.
----------
Late news - check it out for news on John Powell, who's scoring Face/Off, not Mark Isham.

cheers,
Chris.

End of the month suggestion.....
Yumbo
E-mail: imc@top.net

oh no,

it's me again, lol.

Here's a lil response to a GB entry:

P. Lippitz
Location: Austria

I have recently heard that H. Zimmer can be compared with Mozart, but this is not true. Compared with Zimmer Mozart is nothing.

(lolol, very original...and wootie of the day!!!)

There was only one Classic Composer of the same genius like H. Zimmer: Richard Straus. 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) soundtrack. Everytime I listen to classical music, o r 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.

(smiles)

I would like to hear a Zimmer soundtrack about a Science fiction movie or a Reqiem composed By Zimmer.

(He scored the theme to LIFEPOD which is set in space.
Paperhouse would be the closest to a requiem (my idea of it anyway, lol).)

The Zimmer Requiem, I'm sue would be the best music in the history of man. - with this choral passage from Backdraft 7...

May 27 - 01:11

(yeah for dreams and inspiration!!!!)

-------------------

ok,

here's my suggestion:

DO you all think it would be a neat idea to create a web photo album of us score fans, Zimmer in particular? I already have a few, and if interested, please send, and I'll create a page within Zinfo.

it would make us Zimmer fans quite unique, as I believe this is unprecedented. Who cares how strange we look, as long as we have a visual reference of our 'Zimmer friends'? I reckon it'll be neato.

And for the shy ones, lol, like Marco, I can always reduce, and dither, and speckle you beyond recognition, lol.

anyway, food for thought.....lemme know!!!!!!

toot your zoodle,
Chris.

Black Rain actually has 4 Zimmer tracks, collectively named "Black Rain Suite". It runs for about 20 minutes. Sound quality is not fantastic, as the CD was made from an analogue recording, but probably worth looking for to appreciate Zimmer's early action -score style. Unfortunately, it's out of print!!

I've seen it here and there but if you are looking for Hans Zimmer content, there's only one song at the end by him. Unless there's another soundtrack with more of his music in it. If there is could someone email me telling me where I can find the CD. Thanks.

E-mail: MrSorenson@aol.com
Location: Tucson, AZ

Ok, someone said that I should say which type of scores I want, written or the ones on the CD.

I want the written sheet music for piano (solo) so I can play the scores from TLK. I already have the scores on CD.

Thanks, hope this is a little clearer.

Chandler Sorenson
E-mail: MrSorenson@aol.com
Location: Tucson, AZ

Does anybody know if there's been a book published with all of the scores that Hans Zimmer made for TLK? I am looking for a piano solo book with all of those scores. It would also be nice if it was the highest level too. If anybody knows where I could get a book like this, or if one has even been made, please e-mail me back.

Thanks A Lot :)

S'been a while.....

To Mike Daughty -- I have a copy of BLack Rain for sale or trade if you're interested...lemme know.

Anybody interested in Paperhouse or Radio Flyer also? (CDs)

Soundtrack to Speed 2 was released last Tuesday. Haven't seen it, but I'm betting it's "Music From and Inspired by" If there's no suite by Mancina, I'm betting the score may be released somewhere down the line like with the first film. Any word on Con A ir? Yumbo?

Oh, man, SOOOO glad school is over.......

See y'all later!

Pronto,

I haven't seen any Speed 2 trailer using Broken Arrow, and as seen/heard, all music is original except for the excerpts of the original Speed.

Maybe they've got a newer trailer out; so far:

2 theatrical, newer is longer, showing more plot.
2 TV, edits of theatrical, same music.

Check Mancinfo for updates.

g'night.

Chris.

Also it was the same music used in The fifth Element trailer...

E-mail: imc@top.net

hi Alphonse,

thanks for stopping by. Your email didn't work.

Wavs are simply too large to fit the 14 minute score.
Basically, dl the unstreamed RA file.

And then play from your hard disk. Pretty simple.

try it. but i gather you have a PC, and a friend has the same problem. You need ot configure the sound control panel or something. I have no problem with sound (Mac, lol).

lemme know.

Smilla - the studios always want Hans' name up there. Alex, your email doesn't work either.

Lots of new Zinfo! Go get it.

zoodles,
Chris

Smilla is NOT a Zimmer score, except track 7, which is OK,

Everybody,

I just like to take this opportunity to advertise for my new site: it's called the unofficial Mark Mancina site, located at
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/7470/mancina.htm
Come check it out. I've got tracklistings, news etc.

I know this is a Zimmer page, but since Mark was a student of Hans'...

Need info on Zimmer scores "A world Apart" and "A league of their own". Are they any good? Please e-mail me.

Keep Zimmering and Mancining,

Robin
