Thor 7,504 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 It's a decent score, but it needs to be whittled down. Curiously, I can find neither the album nor the playlist I made in my collection. Probably one the casualties of my harddisk crash a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I hate when I lose a whittled playlist. Many of my CD programs were stored in the memory of a player that died on me😰 Fortunately, some of programs were written down also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I gotta be real and say the Electro Suite is the most enjoyable piece from Zimmer that I know of, I get a real kick out of it and the deft way that it incorporates all these disparate sound elements cohesively.

Jay 37,364 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I like the TASM2 score as well. It came in a middle of a long stretch of me not really liking almost anything Zimmer did, but this one I somehow took an immediate liking to. This is a good reminder that I need to listen to it again, it's been a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,689 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I like some parts of it, and I think his theme is better than Horner's. But the harsher electronic parts for Foxx's character just annoy me unfortunately. Which is weird, because I rather enjoy the Dark Phoenix OST.

While I always have never minded that side of the score, it can be easy for me to sometimes think a bit less of it with how much it heavily overshadows the rest of the music. It only makes like 1/5th of the whole thing, yet it's all people can point to when they describe TASM2 as a particularly appalling effort (that, or the "news cast" sounding main theme). Can't say I particularly fault them for it, with it even now being quite the odd choice, but it does color my perception of it a bit. 15 minutes ago, Richard Penna said: I like some parts of it, and I think his theme is better than Horner's. But the harsher electronic parts for Foxx's character just annoy me unfortunately. Which is weird, because I rather enjoy the Dark Phoenix OST. Comparing the Horner and Zimmer themes always seemed amusing, given how much they practically are cut from the same cloth. Enough to where me and a friend speculated it likely was Marc Webb's choice for them to produce themes that were that close in composition, with how much he emphasized wanting a simple and recognizable theme in BTS stuff. I like Dark Phoenix more as well, and that one works on the basis of making it more of its general sound (plus the more serious nature behind it). I will say that the Electro theme probably is a lot less ear fatiguing than anything Junkie puts on his solo work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Electro theme is ok...not annoying, but very gimmicky. "You're That Spider Guy" and "Saving New York" are the two best themes in the series. Even better than anything Danny Elfman wrote except the main titles (which is my favorite superhero theme of all time maybe). And yes, I think Giacchino's theme is very pedestrian in comparison and his Spider-Mans scores are workman like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I don't often listen to other people's podcasts, but I thought this was interesting - a new conversation between Alec Baldwin and Hans Zimmer. Among the interesting things coming out of it is that Zimmer wrote a rejected score for FULL METAL JACKET: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/heres-the-thing-23562128/episode/hans-zimmer-scores-81956152/ Although the "18 years old" thing seems like a joke.

I love the bit about seeing OUTIW and, beeing so excited by the music, he decided he wanted to be a film composer. Same thing happened to me after seeing GIU, LA TESTA!

Thor 7,504 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It's a good playlist, Anthony, but you're missing something from his best score -- and IMO one the best scores of all time: BEYOND RANGOON. Try "I Dreamt I Woke Up", for example, for a track. Otherwise, I would need some more parameters. What type of Zimmer are you looking for, exactly? Your list is heavy on the action stuff, but has a few calmer tracks interspersed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony 572 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Thanks, guys. Thor, I'm going for a playlist that's as entertaining as possible. Some of the more "dramatic" stuff may go - the The Thin Red Line and Black Hawk Down really slow the pace down (they're just too long and repetitive). As you say, I've got a lot of the action/well known stuff, but I've only got what I already know. I'll happily consider anything that's considered a Zimmer essential or best-of!

The INTERSTELLAR stuff needs to go too, then, I suppose, and things like "Time" from INCEPTION? For 'entertaining' cues (however one defines that - in your case it seems to be more upbeat cues) that you're missing, you might also consider "Nick & Masa" from BLACK RAIN, "Main Theme" from DAYS OF THUNDER, "Main Title" from THELMA & LOUISE, "Hate" from POINT OF NO RETURN, "Wonders of the New World" from THE ROAD TO EL DORADO, "Canyon Chase" from SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON, "We Own the Sky" from CHAPPIE. Because I'm presumably older than you, my Zimmer taste veers towards his 80s and 90 stuff (Ok, early 2000s too), and the broader and slower more than the action.

WampaRat 1,105 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Yeah I’m not sure what it is. The love/main theme as heard in “Tennessee” and elsewhere in the score always seems to stick out (in a bad way) from the surrounding dramatic/action material. Like the love story in the film itself. Perhaps it’s the instrumentation? It’s just a bit too light if that makes any sense. It’s a pretty piece of music. But probably not the right one for this story.

Frank Vincent 234 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Coming soon on Blu-ray: Quote Sony Music will release on Blu-ray The World of Hans Zimmer: Live at Hollywood in Vienna. The release will be available for purchase on October 29. Description: Thrillers such as THE DA VINCI CODE, science fiction films (INCEPTION), sandal and pirate movies ranging from "Gladiator" to "Pirates of the Caribbean", historical epics about the likes of KING ARTHUR, animation films à la KUNG FU PANDA, romantic comedies (THE HOLIDAY), and war movies (PEARL HARBOR)… When one lists the different film genres represented 2018, they're all there. The musical ingenuity of one of the most accomplished film score composers is equally comprehensive. We are, of course, talking about Oscar, Golden Globe, and Grammy winner Hans Zimmer. While some describe him as "the rock star of film music", others believe he has been the dream factory's most innovative symphonist for the last 20 years or more. On the occasion of the presentation of the 10th Max Steiner Film Music Achievement Award to this exceptional artist on behalf of the City of Vienna, his orchestral film compositions - some of them newly arranged by Hans Zimmer himself - are performed for the first time in a concert hall. They are brought to life musically by illustrious companions and fellow musicians, as well as by the impressive ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna.

KK 3,307 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Can anyone tell me what the best presentation of Interstellar is? Sounds like there were a lot of really cool things that were tried and recorded in the sessions, but so little of it seemed to have made it to the OST. Things like these minimalist oboe figures: Clearly this work was an ambitious undertaking. I just wish the whole score leaned more into those Reich/Glass-esque ideas and embraced its natural acoustic properties more. The clips in the video above sound lovely, but I think some of that material ended up sounding over-produced on the OST itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first OST released at the time of the movie did indeed omit a lot of the very nice things recorded for the project; However, the current "Expanded" OST available on all digital / streaming platforms (and a physical 2-CD set) contains everything you are looking for (it only misses some some specific film cues only found on the FYC album, but don't worry about those). Each "Disc" essentially operates as its own separate album, with the first disc (the original OST) leaning more towards specific film cues, and the second "disc" leaning more towards his idea pieces that aren't written to picture https://music.apple.com/us/album/interstellar-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-expanded/1533983552 https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ksMcoC36wmr-fyFQfcpM_TjVqo3pBA1H4 https://open.spotify.com/album/3B61kSKTxlY36cYgzvf3cP?si=tNEBvyudR4Swl2kaZMVTpQ https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/interstellar-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-hans-zimmer/previ0q8mktub https://www.hdtracks.com/#/album/5faaac97e84a0e12979e3470 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JLXYJMB If you really want to examine how the various albums were assembled, you can look at this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yDVlbkzOW6Ytmts4aUQ43pOOVdaLFqBg1KyJUjl4Dd8 But I'd recommend just listening to the Deluxe OST as-is and letting the music wash over you instead of examining it's makeup.

Thor 7,504 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Best version is the OST. It's fairly repetitive music, so at 72 minutes it's already stretching patience. In fact, there might be an even better, shorter version hiding in there. JTN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 I like the sessions. It’s a slow build, but when it gets to No Time For Caution, it’s worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 There's never been a session leak for Interstellar. People just took the FYC album and pretended t was the sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Yeah that’s what I was referring to. It’s 2 hours long and has the slate numbers so I always just considered them sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,689 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I've had a long playlist based on the FYC but never really listened to it. I think Thor's on the right track with this one - there are a handful of ideas, and if, like me, you're not familiar with the film (saw it precicely once) and aren't that bothered about specific cues heard in the film, then I'd suggest there's maybe 30 mins or so of concepts to be found. It's still a bit annoying for the wider good that they didn't put the rest of the FYC-only cues on the newest album - that was a nice opportunity to release the whole score for those who want it.
