Marian Schedenig 8,225 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I wouldn't underestimate Zimmer's musical knowledge. This description of Angels & Demons by SoundtrackNet made the score seem like a masterpiece. I want to go back and listen to it again. I never saw the electronics as depicting the science with the violin and orchestra depicting religion. I also want to know what a musical ambigram is because he hid one in the score.I don't see much about musical knowledge in that press release. A musical ambigram should probably just be a palindrome, a phrase that is the same played forwards or backwards.That said, I enjoy parts of the third POTC score and DVC more than I enjoy Sabrina.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't see much about musical knowledge in that press release.It's in there, but it's subtle, like Zimmer's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It's not a palindrome, the palindrome of Bolton would be Notlob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,052 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I haven't heard all of either composer's work, and I don't know if I've heard a Zimmer score that I would call "better" than a Williams score, so I can't really vote. But I've certainly heard individual Zimmer cues that I preferred over individual Williams cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 "Chevaliers de Sangreal" from The Da Vinci Code is a better cue than "Bumper #1" from Amazing Stories: Volume One. Yes, I'm serious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,225 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It's not a palindrome, the palindrome of Bolton would be Notlob!And as much as I love that line, and quote it whenever somebody says "palindrome", it's actually wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
