I'll watch another Bond movie when it has a title song like this again. The franchise has become such a joke, why not go back full throttle (raiding Barrys old sketches). 

 

God I love My Love Has Two Faces. 


Barry’s moodiness was always intriguing and seductive.  These last two Bond songs are just downright gloomy and depressing.

Maybe because recent Bond movies were also less intriguing and seductive and more gloomy and depressing?

 

Gotta keep up with the trend!


We’ll go back to silly with the next one, with CGI Roger Moore.

Have listened to the Eilish song once ... it's OK, I guess. Am presuming the bits of mumbled vocals are standard practice for her ... I'm unfamiliar with her other stuff, and it'll be staying that way.

The orchestration is more mumbled than the vocals.

Cornell did his best work for Audioslave anyway

This! That first album is a banger.

 

All the people complaining about mumbling... is this really any different than some low key sultry noir song from the 40s?

Yeah, that's night and day difference. This Eilish girl is half whispering and half mumbling. The above song is nothing of the sort.

Dark, gritty and disturbing. Why can't 007 movies be fun again?

 

(no, not like Die Another Day)

 

Also, Zimmer's being credited as sole composer, despite reportedly Mazzarro and Marr contributing to the score. I was imagining the music credit would be something like "Music by Hans Zimmer and Steve Mazzaro", or something.

Yeah... The Sherlock scores were solely credited to him, despite Balfe helping - and that probably costed Lorne an Oscar nomination (he'd be the first RC alumn to do it if he got credited as co composer for Sherlock, doing so one year before John Powell).

 

Pirates 4, Lone Ranger, Rango, all of them are mostly Zanelli, I think. On the other hand, BvS is credited to him and Junkie, but apparently he worked way more on that score than Holkenborg, which was busy with Deadpool.

 

Conclusion: being credited on something usually means next to nothing when it comes to these RC people. lol

This is one of my main problems with HanZ: taking full credit when others have done quite significant contributions to the composing of the score. That, and his tendency of extreme self-plagiarism.

Guys, at this point you really care about this? It's been like this since decades, it's just useless to act like a prissy schoolmarm every time when a cd cover omits one out of twenty guys. It's written by commitee, period. It doesn't get better or worse just because of the names on the cover.

I think it has a difference between being a minor contributor, like writing minor stuff here and there, and having more involvement with the composition of the score as a whole, like Balfe on the Sherlocks and Zanelli on Lone Ranger.

 

As I've said, crediting Lorne as a "score producer" (whatever the hell that is) on Sherlock 1 may have costed him an Oscar nomination. That said, he apparently didn't got mad with that, because he remained on RC years after that, so maybe his involvement wasn't that great?

 

And I personally don't like listening to a music, liking it, but finding out that it was not written by the guy on the cover, but by some Joe Who.

Exactly.

And yet never bother with any of the actual available cue sheets to see who might've done what, because what good does that do when it isn't plopped on the album cover?

 

I never do understand why certain scores don't have any proper credits, if Zimmer is willing to do it for a lot of his work. Studio interference? It's just odd when Sherlock 1 can tell you that Balfe practically was on every cue, yet SH2 is blank for whatever reason. I guess the Oscar loss did cause a fuss after all.

Zimmer did by himself the other cues and the suites (Dear Clarice Suite, F2K Suite, Arrow Choir Suite, Ligeti Suite).

 

On King Arthur, he did most of the job by himself, with the exceptions of a few scenes on the first reels and most of the battle scenes.

Poor Steve worked a lot on Batman v Superman, pratically half of the cues are his, only to get credited as additional composer. Junkie, the other credited composer, only did a few key action scenes involving Batman, and then left to work on Deadpool.

A lot of those come from the HZ website, which itself gets their info from ASCAP, BMI, GEMA, and other places. It's impressive the amount of info present, and does give a bit more insight as to how each project might've been approached (though only a bit).

Since SH1 has been brought up a few times recently, here's the one for that. I'm told it's not fully accurate (considering the OST has considerably less LB credits), but it's all we have:

Yeah, the HZ fansite is a treasure of great info about RC scores. I just wish they'd put these infos more easily accessible... lol.

 

But I guess in most projects, Hans just lay the bases of what the score will sound, and then lets his minions to fit that material on the movie. Unless when it's a really personal project for him (Interstellar, for instance, or I think The Lion King, both the 94 and the 2019 versions, or some of his epics from the early 2000s), he just do a few actual cues, but the boring job of fitting music into the picture is done mostly by other people. No wonder his actual OSTs usually contain more suites than film cues.

 

On some cases, at least the minions work with a strong foundation. A lot of people worked on At World's End, but neither of them have since written something as good as that score, which in the final product is a Zimmer score through and through - that "epic" early 2000s score of which I'm very nostalgic. I mean, Henry Jackman is credited on a lot of cues featuring the Will/Elizabeth love theme, but, on his own, he never wrote something as good as that.

Which now begs the question, what percentage of each cue can HZ take credit for. Shit, we'll need a spreadsheet to keep track.

Accessible in what sense? I just go into the list of composers, pick one, and see what there is. If we're referring to more people finding it, then I'm afraid the average person likely wouldn't invest themselves into a site like it. It is probably a good argument for including more info on the proper album releases, if they're willing to be this open on the internet.

And it seems they have, now that more recent scores have started including proper credits on Spotify:

As for how production on these sorts of scores go, how I've understood it is that the team is around to constantly be accommodating the continuous edits a movie will have until completion. Of course, this has always been the case, but it's gotten to a point where it seems composers are far more likely to just give in to demands. Directors and producers have become considerably more demanding about changing little things to better fit whatever they want for the film in that moment. Especially since things are being worked at in a smaller time frame than before. So the modern day solution would be that if the producer isn't happy with what's been given for one cut of a scene, then Zimmer will just give it to his cohorts to figure out while he approaches other scenes. This is likely why certain cues have more people on it than you'd think is necessary, since one person will have likely done a particular portion, while another did a different spot. An example I can think of is TASM2, where one cue ("Max Electrocuted") literally has an insert with AK (Andrew Kawczynski) initials on it. The "lay the groundwork and let others do the grunt work" situation likely happens on occasion, but what I've described seems more like the general case.

I can imagine this sort of thing will be laughed at, since John Williams would've persevered through all of that when he did the sequel trilogy. However, if the rumors are true that VII gave him such a hard time that he nearly quit when JJ came back for IX, then I'd say it's even a miracle that he managed to get any of it done. And those are just for 3 films that he's had some time apart to work on, so one must wonder how RCP composers must feel like going from project to project in a short amount of time. They might be treated as subhuman here basically, but it's something to think about.

Which now begs the question, what percentage of each cue can HZ take credit for. Shit, we'll need a spreadsheet to keep track.

 

 

That would be really helpful, actually.

Accessible in what sense?

 

Most of the time, I just saw this info posted in the comments of an album, so to find it you have to read through pages and pages of nonsense. Maybe they could put a tab like "Bootlegs"... On the other hand, I don't think anyone involved with Zimmer and RC (and I'm certain they go to that place sometimes, if only to see what the fans are talking) sees that, they wouldn't be happy. lol

And it seems they have, now that more recent scores have started including proper credits on Spotify:

 

I guess the situation was getting rather ridiculous, a lot of people working on a single cue, but just only one of them being credited. Something may have happened over the last few days on the industry that we didn't heard of.

The more I try to understand this situation, the less I know, actually. For instance, I love Zimmer's Pirates 3 score, but some cues, specially at the final battle, do sound like they were composed by someone else. I've heard similar stuff on Jackman's Civil War, so maybe this is their style when they want to go orchestral and swashbuckling?

 

On the other hand, sure, lots of people may have helped on At World's End, but none of them ever wrote something as good as the material on that score. The info is that Jackman helped on the beloved One Day cue, but on his own he never wrote something as great as that piece of music. And if you know Zimmer, you can actually hear his voice through that track.

 

I guess it depends of how inspired he is on a certain project. I re-listened to Sherlock 2 today, and it IS a Zimmer score, despite Lorne helping, you can hear the German's style, whether you like it or not. On his DCEU scores and Interstellar for instance he did most of the heavy lifting, I imagine, but looking at the sessions of Angels and Demons, it does seem like a score on which he just wrote a few suites and then let his subordinates put that on the movie. Maybe he did that movie just because he had worked on the previous film on the franchise, and also to mantain his friendship with Ron Howard, rather than interest? DaVinci Code seemed to inspire him way more.

 

And about us here making fun of RC, I wouldn't mind. It's the same of people here making fun of Williams' senility (he's still very lucid and hardworking for a man his age, thank God) and his obsession with Daisy Ridley (nothing so far indicates a possible #MeToo situation). I myself use JWFan to have fun, and since these Hollywood composers make more money than me, well...

Williams was accommodated like a visiting pope on these things, that's in no way comparable to the kind of grindmill the usual RCP et al. blockbuster is.
