More like Hans had the idea to leak it and then got five different Magic Box composers to upload each file individually.MTV Trailer Music original? original version pleaseeeeOh, I know. But wouldn't it be a funny story if it was? XDSo basically HZ leaked them himself in an act of generosity towards his beloved fans? :p"Maybe some disgruntled RC employee quit and rage-uploaded all of them"<br><br>LOL I can assure you it's not what happened ! :)
It's been an absolutely amazing year for leaked complete scores in general! I have a huge backlog of them that I haven't even gotten around to listening to yet. Maybe some disgruntled RC employee quit and rage-uploaded all of them. :p<br><br>But...hasn't the complete Pearl Harbor been around for ages?(-(-):(--(:) SOONGoodness, so many HZ scores leaked this week. In fact, its been a good year or so for HZ fans (as far as leaked scores haha). I wonder what happened all of a sudden. Definitely hoping for more in the next couple of months. Maybe Pearl Harbor or Hannibal will come soon. At least, thats what I hope haha.Is the choir music part of the score? And I really liked the music in the last ten seconds of the video.Probably to get it to CD quality. They sound as clean as the album tracks to me.
This is something I feel needs to be dragged up in light of the full score becoming available.<br><br>I'm inclined to believe this doesn't exist. No evidence has ever surfaced for it. The so-called "Original opening" was supposed to have been included on earlier bootlegs but I can find no mention of it beyond here and the one mention on filmtracks.<br><br>So, IF the FYC exists AT ALL, it was likely to be the sessions, just without the songs (because the sessions that leaked... those songs are clearly from the albums - I am curious to know where he got the reel info for them from). I'd love to be proven wrong, but I don't think I ever will. If it does exist, the sessions themselves supplant the FYC by a mile, and IF it does exist, then those who hold the sessions proper (not the ones that leaked with the songs) also have a cue that has not seen the light of day: the Mufasa's Dead piece that is highlighted above.<br><br>I'd still love to see who did what with regards to the film, and I still think there are some interesting alternates. In the Special Edition, I seem to recall Zimmer stating he wrote four hours worth of music, and although I don't think that was all translated into actual cues, I'd be surprised if a great deal of the ideas went unused, or did get used but are still unreleased (like the film versions of Scar's Dinner and Sunrise at Pride Rock). Hell, there may even be material for M8 and M16 given that the film's script went through several pre-release revisions.One has to wonder though why the FLAC version was downsampled. This means the quality is not as good as it could be, right?Any verfication that the version of Circle of Life shown here actually exists at all? With the sessions, it's easy to replicate the rest of the material but I'd be inclined to believe that "Circle of Life" is just the instrumental version with the film version's interlude or something.The FLAC is 44kHz. So whoever did the conversion did it right this time.i havent heard that theme in ages...imma check it out
O-cool, this is indeed VERY cool :)featurette with new music(choir!)<br><br>www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rtcEtDDqvu8Well I mean ''Looking Into Limbo (Alternate)''Untitled track # 1 it's very similiar like MementoThese files come from a 48Khz source. What is the sampling rate of the flac version?

This is undoubtly one of the finest Hans Zimmer soundtracks I have ever heard. I truly believe that he would have deserved to win a Golden Globe with this truly wonderful soundtrack. I love the movie and the soundtrack even more.

Possibly the most insperational sound track i have ever heard, Hans Zimmer deserves his place as the worlds number one Film Music Composer and deserves to be reconised as one of the last great classical composers.

This is, without a doubt, the most profoundly moving piece of music I've heard in years. With or without the movie, this score stands on its own.

I only want to ask a question: If I heard correctly the Trailer music for Memoirs of A Geisha was taken from the Last Samurai. Can Anyone confirm this? This might be a big step in Zimmer's career because if it is in that way, John Williams listen's to Zimmer as well and loves this score as many people do. If that is so, as I always said, this album is one of the best Orchestral efforts by Zimmer and this may result in loving this score much much more. This score is 5***** of 5*****. Its ingredients are superb :) Great Melody, Haunting orchestrations and the use of the man shouting and the anvil sound in the action music makes it really dramatic. I also love very much the Taiko Drums and the other Oriental Instruments like the shakuhachi. A great job and I cannot recomend this score enough.

I have said it before and I will echo here again...The musical scores from the movie, are without doubt in complete semblance with the message of the movie... I keep listening to the scores... over and over again and I still feel the same emotions.....as if I am still watching the film.... This is what every composer should aspire to... The soundtrack.....is one with the film..each and every bow stroke and flute accent the actions and emotions on screen....... Take notes Horner You could learn a thing or two... From what I hear in this music Zimmer understood the spirit and meaning of the film the film is just that much better because of it... Thank Hans
