  1. Because he writes lifeless generic sounding music and he's now sucked JNH into his void. As I said earlier, he's not the only one to blame. But his style and stable of composers has contributed to it. If you were aware of his works in the early 1990s, you might change your mind.
  2. It's because there was never much decisive, just one long stalemate. Countries were not conquered and such. The battle-lines barely moved (until the very end of the war). Heck, even Jutland (one of the biggest naval battle in history) was a draw.
  3. When a CD is $2.98, I wonder how the quality of the music on it...
  4. Anyone remember the Command & Conquer Red Alert series? That was quite fun to play multi-player on.
  5. As Trevor Jones said once in an interview "the respect for music as a creative part of the film is gone now".
  6. Yes, it would. Not a bad score that one. The album is a bit long though. Not really because of the amount of orchestral parts in it, and it's not really that ambient.
  7. Elfman isn't classically trained; by that logic, has he contributed too? I didn't say, if a composer isn;t classically trained he can't be good. Please get your logic straight. Classical training might select for a certain quality, at least increases the chance of presence of knowledge and skills as to how to use a symphonic orchestra to it's full potential. Of course a good composer CAN come from anywhere. Who says that you need a symphonic orchestra to score a film
  8. Because in WW1, there was never much decisive action, just one 4 year long stalemate, broken at the end by the Germans giving up.
  9. Elfman isn't classically trained; by that logic, has he contributed too?
  10. I know that most people here of the prejudice of big orchestral scores being best. But there are some good electronic or acoustically ambient scores out there. So if you know of any, recommend them out to us. Brian Tyler's The Lazarus Project Mark Isham's Crash
  11. By the way, you English, your 'pints of lager' are huge!
  12. Radio Flyer - Hans Zimmer One of his best scores of the 1990s.
  13. Ocean Men - Cliff Eidelman Wonderful dramatic IMAX documentary score.
  14. There's the James Horner Shine and Jerry Goldsmith Online.
  15. No, I just like adding necessary and awkward phrasing. It makes it fun .
  16. Remember when people said they had a piece of the The Phantom Menace score, but it turned out to be Nixon? Me too, after the autopilot score we got which was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...
  17. There's one influential producer you have all missed, that has an effect on film music even more than Hans Zimmer: JERRY BRUCKHEIMER! It has been his driving rock simplistic tastes that has a much bigger impact than Hans Zimmer alone. Hans Zimmer can write other styles than his action styles, listen to his romantic comedy scores and his early 1990s work. Plus, who says film music has hit rock bottom, remember, it could always get worse...
