I know. It almost feels like someone took the trailer, muted it and put this music over it. It's hard to believe it's actually legit. And oh so glorious that it is. :DNo dialogue, no clue of what the story is, only gorgeous landscapes and nostalgic 90s music: was this trailer made for RCP fans only?<br><br>Without a doubt the movie is for 0-4 year old kids only, but this is a very nice video.Tim posted the credits on page 5 back in January of 2011.

Rather low, m'friend. Hans Zimmer scores almost never get expanded releases. Hans himself isn't big into those, for some reason (he would do well to learn from Lorne Balfe in that regard... :P). The only reason The Dark Knight got an extended release was because the movie was so immensely popular and that would give the studio even more money.  I assume the same can be said for the upcoming Man of Steel album: either the studio is convinced that the film will make a lot of money, and so releasing more music is worth it, or Water Tower had grat sales with The Hobbit's score. <br><br>Either way, I wouldn't hold out for a Batman Begins "official" expanded release short of divine intervention. Though believe me, I'd be quite happy if such a thing happened.What's the probability of this score seeing an official expanded release like the second movie got?Everything except "We built our own world" is a suite.<br>That track is actually a trimmed version of "Dreams or Memories"How's that?For those wondering what album tracks are cues vs. suites, it looks like the cues (perhaps edited) are:<br><br>Half-Remembered Dream (Warner Bros and Syncopy logos, slightly extended)<br>Radical Notion (Ariadne building a dream)<br>528491 (the "disappointed" scene where Fischer opens the safe)<br>Dream Within a Dream (a mix of fighting in the snow and walking through limbo)<br>Waiting for a Train (an edited version of Cobb's confession to Mal)<br>Paradox (Cobb going back to get Saito from Limbo)<br>Projections Bonus Track (the beginning mission)<br>Don't Think About Elephants Bonus Track (an edited version of the second part of the fortress fight)<br><br>Then the following would be suites:<br><br>Mombasa<br>One Simple Idea<br>Time<br>Old Souls<br>We Built Our Own World
My favorites are "An Idea Is Like a Virus", "Mr. Charles", ""Into the Van", and "Fischer and Son", as well as the Time Suite. :)If I had to guess, I would say the purpose of the cue sheet is to determine what goes where...Not to document all the music written/used, necessarily...I dunno. It is a shame, though. The film version of Backup is intense.This reminds me: can anyone tell me why these scores contain cues as originally recorded, but not the final film versions also/instead (like Backup)?JNH's Harvey Dent theme is beautiful.Say what?
MTV Trailer Music original version?this is mgbube and i have to say i am playing the violine and these noise do not sound like harmonics to me it sounds like shit ass recording flub or botched up special effect either way it is annoying is there some way to clean it up thanks mgbubethis is mgbube for ggctuk this is ancient message you have dug up there and this person medivh has never again shown up here so it is not stupid to assume his allegations were false i have very old interviews and will have a look at them sooner or later to clear up what hans said about amount of music composed for masterpiece the lion king thanks mgbubethis is mgbube for ggctuk what artifacts could be introduced into the music by so called downsampling can you please elaborate thanks mgbubethis is mgbube for ggctuk i am telling my idea of what missing music is one has to be the warthog rhapsody because there is no way it can not be the warthog rhapsody please see for yourself on youtube it is there thanks mgbube

new Intrada releases on 28th

here are the clues from Intrada about one of two releases:

When next week arrives, Tuesday in particular, we'll be reaching a cool landmark. Your support for some 25 years has made it possible. No question, my staff gets credit, too. You won't think it's the biggest thing since sliced butter or whatever but you'll probably enjoy what's happening.

We'll have two new CDs to offer on Tuesday, June 28. Both are premieres. One's an eighties action score from a veteran composer that offers what might be his finest main theme ever, heard in complete form during the end credits. What a great tune! And incredible action music, too. What's not to like? It's a Special Collection limited release, with 2000 copies to go around.

The other CD not only gives you an Oscar-winning masterpiece, with melody and action galore, but ushers in a brand new series of CDs actually produced and co-branded by one of the entertainment industry's true giants. With this new partnership, it excites me to know that so many wonderful soundtracks we all have been hoping would see the light of day... will finally see that day.

But back to now. For our two newest CDs, you'll find artwork and sound samples on our site Monday evening, June 27. Orders begin shipping on Tuesday. I hope you'll support these releases, and I trust you'll look forward to some great things in the months ahead. Happy listening!


....could be Lion King?


Andrew2011-06-24 10:45:50
Lion King has been released before by Disney in some form so it cannot be a premier release. Also I don't think "action galore" is the term to describe this music with in a general sense.


Bou2011-06-24 13:54:29
hmmmm... souds like it's "Up" My Giacchino


Ravi Krishna2011-06-24 14:23:15
There is a fair amount of action music in TLK actually (the elephant graveyard, stampede and final battle scenes for example), but I too think it's more likely to be Up because of the other clue that the score hasn't had a CD release before, which TLK unfortunately did... however lousy.

On the positive side, this is good news 'cos Disney is finally seeming to lift the fortifications around their vault. Maybe it's time to mail the petition to them? :-) I just hope our penace finally bears fruit at last!


Andrew2011-06-24 14:23:33
I am sure Lion King is somewhere on their to-do list anyway.

It's almost identical to the 25-track expanded that I have. The tracks here are slightly longer. They probably just end earlier.

@Dakota

"The tracks here are slightly longer."
On the 25tracks version, most of the cues were already slowed down to make them longer. Tracks from this 2CD are even longer... for me it looks like somebody tried to re-work the 25 version to make it look more interesting... nothing new or interesting here. Prove me I'm wrong ! :)

Love HZ & TLK!!!!

I was wondering how it works, when there are songs written by people and then the 'rest' of the score by the composer, in this case HZ.... the melody of Circle Of life, for example, is in the score as well. Who wrote that originally? Tim Rice? and Hans incoporated it into the score then?

Same with Pearl Harbor and There You'll Be... did Dianne Warren write the melody of that song, and HZ put into his score? Or the other way around? Or do they work together on such things?

Mozared reply Replies: 0 || 2009-11-08 00:00:00
For those who are still looking for the lyrics to the opening chant in circle of life: they are posted on The Lion King's page on IMDB, under trivia.

I looked an all those forums, in scripts, dictionaries, I used all of the links Pridelander and others gave, but I haven't found it! Ok, Ingonyama, nengw enamabala; but what is that second thing? When the chorus starts? I can't find it anywhere! It's something else then the thing on the begining! Please help! I need it, I am making an arrangement for my choir, but i just can't put in "la-la-la" on that part! Please send me an email if you can on boccacgp@hotmail.com and I'll be forever grateful.

Does anybody know where the orchestra for Lion King was recorded? UK or US?

Pridelander reply Replies: 0 || 2008-10-28 00:00:00
According to the end credits:
http://www.lionking.org/endcredits.html
Music Recorded at MEDIA VENTURES (USA), TODD A-O SCORING (USA), ANGEL STUDIOS (UK), BOP STUDIOS (South Africa)

I think the orchestra was recorded only in the US (Todd A-O). And the chorus and/or songs were recorded in the US, UK, and S. Africa.

Oh and I posted some information about African lyrics of TLK songs/score in the forum.

http://www.hans-zimmer.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=3978

I hope I could make a website about TLK lyrics (like LotR's), but I need more time... :(

Shadleyvw reply Replies: 0 || 2008-10-28 00:00:00
Pridelander you legend! I figured as much, usually you can tell where the orchestra is from by the contractor, in this case it was Reggie Wilson, and it also makes mention of Tonia Davall, who in the last couple of years has done some of the orchestra contracting in London, but in the case of LK, she only contracted some of the choirs
anyway, send me an email

There's a bunch of the african lyrics on here

http://www.lionking.org/lyrics/

...I just noticed that Pridelander already posted that hahaha. BTW <3 TLK and Hans Zimmer :)

And I have another website bookmarked on my old computer, it has a lot more of the African words on it. Unfortunately, I'm still in the process of resurrecting that stupid thing... I forgot to back up some kinda important music file and stuff, so if I happen upon the site again, I'll definitely post it ^-^

Ingonyama is zulu for lion

Hey, my question is does anyone have the lyrics for "This Land", "King of Pride Rock" and "Under the Stars"? I love how it sounds, but I want to know exactly what they are saying, not a translation.
By the way, HANS ZIMMER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!
