I won't pretend I have the full truth even though I know Hans & Nick very well. (Also, the cue slates presented above are the official ones, so is the cuesheet). But here's what I can tell. Nick was hired to score it (thanks to Hans but also his previous work for Bruckheimer/Bay on Bad Boys with Mancina probably helped). Actually, HGW was going to help Nick even before Hans had to jump in. NGS/Bay/Bruckheimer was just not a great combination (those ever-changing-last-minute-rework type of blockbusters are very much under heavy pressure, especially with Bay at the helm) and there was a lot of music to write in a very short amount of time (what's new lol). So they were sold on the general style Nick was developing, but I guess not much on his themes. So Hans jumped in, probably with no time to develop any suites, so he started scoring to picture. He did write the theme/cue "8m18B SEAL Attack 2nd Half" which became the main theme & the opening title later. He did write "3m06 Hummel Speech - Alcatraz Reopened" as well, and from what he remembered he had a hand in most cues in the end. But Hans joined Nick and they absolutely worked together, that's why it's very hybrid and sounds like both of them. "15m27 Fort Walton, Kansas" is probably very much both of them. Nick still had some of the themes himself, like "6m15A Jade" or most of what ended up in "1m02 Naval Weapons Depot" or "2m05 Tour's Over Bob". But things like "11m22 Hostage - Goodspeed Captured" or "7m17 Hummel - SEALs" are the other big "Hans" things I believe. What's funny is there always was an urban legend about JNH helping, especially since he was thanked in the booklet. From what I know, Hans/MV helped James on Waterworld (his tech guru Bob Daspit helped with lots of sounds & samples), in return while rushing The Rock Hans asked James if he could shamelessly rip him off :). And parts of 7m17 do sound a lot like JNH. So who really knows ? In the team that was assembled to meet the deadline, Don Harper was initially supposed to have a bigger role than Harry, but jumped ship in the middle so Harry had to redo most of his work, that's why very little of what Don did ended in the score (best example is the Chase, which was Don's assignment, but Harry had to redo a million times). Harry handled pretty much most of the core of the electro/action of the movie (as you can see in the cuesheet), and wrote small motifs (like "2m03 Baby Gas"). Steven Stern (RIP) was trying to patch up written cues with electronics & more ambient material. For Russ Landau, he wasn't supposed to be there at all and had no connection with Media Ventures, but back then he had the same agent as Hans so he came in very late during rush hour to help arrange, ended up arranging "4m09 San Francisco Montage". If I take the OST edit of "The Chase", I'd say the first 2:42 min are Nick & Don. After that, it jumps to HGW arranging a HZ/NGS theme (3:10, the "heroic John Mason theme"), then arranging Nick's "main" theme (4:56). But it's mostly suspicions too... The funny thing is it was such a mess that when attributing cuesheet, they didn't even bother with proportions (how much was composed by whom). They split all cues equally between everyone credited. Like, for the Chase, it's 25% for the 4 composers. For cues written by 3, it's 33,33% each, for cues written by 2, it's 50%... I guess it was too complicated in such a short amount of time to actually analyse it ! And he also just posted this: So Roger just announced it, 2 CDs coming next week at Intrada. I produced the album for them and I'll have a few things to explain in a few days when full details are out...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Cool! I didn't used to be a huge fan of Zimmer's 90s action scores (for me his Golden Age started in 1998 and ended in 2007), but I hope this expansion will change my mind! bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,513 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 One of my top 50 favourite scores of all time, and my second-favourite Zimmer score. A masterpiece through and through, right in the middle of his Golden Age (which IMO lasted between 1989 and 2003). Such a reference point now, and such a great recruiter for new, young film music fans at the time.

Jurassic Shark 12,079 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 It's one of Zimmer's finest, probably because much of it was written by other composers. JTN and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Should be exactly my thing but Thor invaded my head long ago - I find the whole score far too loud and annoying. The four sections I think are really good are the San Fran chase, the rocket sequence at the end, the beautiful 'Jade' cue, and the Fort Walton bit. A nice, compact summation of the score's ideas plus a couple, of minor incidental cues I liked when watching the film. (although which one of them thought putting The Chase *after* the Fort Walton wrap-up on the album was a good idea? Doesn't make any musical or narrative sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellosh 3,419 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 absolutely loved this movie when i was younger. haven't watched it in ages, but it might feel right to collect this one since I am so fond of the film.

Tallguy 3,399 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I had a feeling that that would be the parts you were talking about. The Chase is such a rousing finish to the CD. It almost plays like a bonus track. I have no idea how this score will work chronologically. I haven't seen the film since 1996. So I realize I have very little context for this score in the film.

You can't get from Point to The Rock without stopping at Crimson Tide. It's all an evolution, I suppose. But in terms of Zimmer's power anthem 'chronology', I put it like this: BLACK RAIN --> DAYS OF THUNDER --> BACKDRAFT --> K2 (sorta) --> THE LION KING --> DROP ZONE --> CRIMSON TIDE --> BROKEN ARROW --> THE ROCK --> THE PEACEMAKER --> GLADIATOR --> MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 --> THE LAST SAMURAI (starting to die now) --> PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN (its last gasp for air). After that, John Powell more or less redefines the whole thing with his first JASON BOURNE score. Even if there are post-Bourne power anthem "latecomers", like subsequent PIRATES movies or things like KING ARTHUR. JTN and Tallguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ROCK Composed and Produced by NICK GLENNIE-SMITH, HANS ZIMMER and HARRY GREGSON-WILLIAMS INTRADA ISC 491 Intrada presents the long in-demand expanded edition of one of Michael Bay's most beloved films—Hollywood Pictures' The Rock. To score this solid action tale set on San Francisco's famous Alcatraz island, the filmmakers turned to Nick Glennie-Smith, Hans Zimmer and Harry Gregson-Williams. Given Glennie-Smith's past experiences with both producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Bay, he stepped into the role of lead composer. The result was a strikingly popular score with such a distinctive theme that for years after it would appear in trailers and be heard by millions around the world. But many would not realize they were hearing The Rock. It is a score that features a unique blend of action bravado undercut with a touch of melancholy. As first presented, the main theme represents the tragedy of combat and loss, but when flipped morphs into an heroic anthem. Even with both Glennie-Smith and Zimmer on board, however, the workload proved greater than expected. Enter Harry Gregson-Williams, who was just down the hall. Gregson-Williams was initially brought on as an “additional” composer. As the film’s postproduction schedule became more and more frenetic, his involvement continued to grow. For this 2-CD set, Intrada features the complete score in film order, plus our usual section of "extras" that includes alternates and demos. The alternates showcase a very different tone from one version to another and provide an enlightening glimpse into the score's evolution. This new edition features some two hours and 15 minutes of music and is an iconic example of '90s action scoring at its peak. The story revolves around Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris), a rogue brigadier general who enlists a group of Marines to take hostages on Alcatraz and hold them for ransom while they threaten the San Francisco area with VX rockets. Their goal is to secure funds to help pay back the families of soldiers killed in covert U.S. government operations. The government enlists the help of Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage), a chemical weapons expert FBI agent. They also turn to John Mason (Sean Connery), a political prisoner and former MI6 agent who is the only person known to have escaped from Alcatraz. Goodspeed and Mason, led by a team of US Navy SEALs, attempt to infiltrate Alcatraz and neutralize the threat while rescuing the hostages.

Demondm810 399 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Looking forward to this one and ordered it last night- This was the first not Lion King Zimmer album I purchased. I remember it wasn't easy to find and had to go to one of those specialty music stores that don't exist anymore. The samples sound really well mastered. Wish we got a new album cover, but maybe someone will do a great custom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
