gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I wouldn't buy this thing for 40 bucks.Not because the package isn't nice, or the price too high, it's just that 2 CDs would be too much for any Zimmer score. The releases for Man of Steel and Amazing Spider-Man 2 are such an indistinguishable mush that nobody in his right mind would buy another 2 disc presentation of his new scores, unless he really adores Zimmer.A 50 minutes single disc release would be enough for any Zimmer score.

MedigoScan 324 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I guess that makes me a Zimmer fan because I disagree. Every soundtrack always left me wanting moreAllthough to be fair, its more to do with the subpar selection they put on the actual CDs(Like in the case of MoS, where I would have switched a few tracks with a few others. One of which I am pretty sure was ghostwritten by someone else anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,998 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 One thing I can agree on: Zimmer used to make very nice tight album programmes. Not so much these days with all those Deluxe editions.

KK 3,307 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 So apparently you get a track from the score, "Day One Dark", if you order trickets through movietickets.com:http://www.movietickets.com/movie/mid/159557I already ordered mine elsewhere. So does anyone want to order so we can get some more music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 It's already found its way onto the internet. Apparently the teaser piece and the IMAX piece represent two main musical ideas. This cue represents a third, which was said to be much darker. It's actually derived from the brief piano line at the start of the teaser piece. You can hear another variation of it in the third clip that was released earlier as well.I really like it. It's very different, but in a way classic sturm und drang Hans. But I doubt the darker material of this score will win many of you over, if this is representative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I bet it's not your cup of tea, but we've obviously heard a much different dimension of the score as well prior to this.But I dig it. Eerie droning, quasi-Ligeti choir that actually has character and isn't some trailer wailing, flutter-tongue flutes, and dat organ.Also, if this isn't a suite, I think I know what's happening during it, and I think it's going to be rather gripping. I actually think it might be a suite though, since it's not the first time he's put out "Day One" tracks, and "dark" is a typical title element for his cues as well ("Mal dark suite" from Inception, for instance). Maybe this, the teaser cue, and the IMAX cue were his initial three theme suite thingies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Interesting indeed!First off, it's very loud, almost overwhelmingly so. But as it went on, I really dug it.It's beginning brings to memory the rumbling that opened up The Thin Red Line. Sort of like Thin Red Line with a touch of Ligeti (or at least an attempt at the sound). And then the full force of the organs and low woodwind ostinati is let loose This is going to turn some people off, that's for certain, but I actually really liked it. There's an ominouis motif churning beneath, with the teaser theme being extrapolated by the organ (which was neat). And it had this devlish Philip Glass vibe to it that I enjoyed. Kind of like Koyaniqaatsi on steroids or something.My major gripe with is that it's sheer volume threatens the sound of it all, nearly swallowing up all the details. And this is probably what will deter most here. And I'm a bit concerned this may play against the picture as well. But I actually really dug it. It's Zimmer unleashing his full melodrama, but with a modern Zimmer twist. Count me in! And as you said, there's a whole other ethereal dimension which will likely play the score's major highlights. But I'm liking this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
