The music as heard in the movie sounds so much better than this release... Still, very cool work from Hans & Lorne, they did exactly the kind of music the film needed.<br><br>And the scene with "I'm the bad guy" really has an epic feel.Actually, HZ isn't "against" the idea... Trust me if there's one who would like to see mixes of TLK, TTRL or Black Hawk Down released, it's him !<br><br>The problem is he doesn't really have time to give to the past, it's always "the next project" and it never ends.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 WorldMy 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 mgbube
this 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 mgbubeYou can't even download and purchase a digital copy anymore. I beginning to doubt a CD...I would say yes...that choir sounds very much like stock Zimmer choir...Thanks Hybrid!

I agree with Fabian...I don't think that this score could be a masterpiece...It's good but not EPIC!!!
Hans has done much better with kolossal films...
Come on Hans! We're waiting for Sherlcok Holmes!!!

This score is horrible. First off, all this money and no live orchestra?

Reused themes en masse, reused left over materials from Dark knight, reused entire phrases from Black hawk down....

Yeah a *cough* great score that need an official release....not.

I'd would say this score is a major fail. Most won't care as long as its got Zimmer's name on it.

For a video game, I must say I love it!

Nice touch by Hans in the whole score.

considering that this is Hans Zimmer's first outing with a video game, I have to say, I'm beyond impressed and I've listened to countless game soundtracks, now when does it get officially released is the question

If you want a good game score - try Jesper Kyd (AC 1&2), O'Donnell (Halo series) or Soule (i.e. Morrowind or Guild Wars).

This message is adressed to Sd,

We dont care about what u say, Zimmer is number 1, no one else.
Try to respect the guy for his magnificent work, then u'll be respecting urself.
I assume ur no musician and u cant be one, just go complementing ur favorite composer whatever loser he is, like john williams or steve jablonsky or howard shore

yondaime hokage reply Replies: 0 || 2009-11-16 00:00:00
hey hans fan take it easy, john williams , steve jablomsky and howard shore are ground breaking composers, steve will soon be. and let sd complain, if u start talking shit about other composers than what difference is there between you two. this is just a fan made demo nothing more, i have this version that is posted below, i also have the 247 tracks that last almost 7 hours version as well, until a proper version is released i will not comment about its music.

oh well, we need an official release or at last a courageous fan of the game for great game rip:) (I can't listen to 7 hours of music really)

Thank you Hans Zimmer for amazing music for Modern Warfare 2, you made a masterpiece.

Enrico reply Replies: 0 || 2009-11-16 00:00:00
Ehi guys! What are you saying about Hans? Dirty affairs? We listen Hans everyday and then we say those things? Mh...no guys...I think that we should be more "good".
However I think that Steve and many others composers must thank Hans, because he gave them a lots of job!!!

@ to hans fan

Perhaps it's a dirty business, or Hans is just a handy business-man!

to hans fan reply Replies: 0 || 2009-11-16 00:00:00
Zimmer is famous, because he is always credited on the front cover, but doesn't mean he has composed the music. Jablonsky was a Zimmer's ghostwriter for a some time. So, the actual thief is Zimmer. Anyway, it's just a dirty business.

Adrian reply Replies: 0 || 2009-11-16 00:00:00
@ hans fan

Steve Jablonsky is a very talented composer. All composers, like Alan Silvestri or Howard Shore, lend themes from one another. One composer may seem to do it a bit more. Steve seems to have the same orchestrating style in Transformers as Hans has. But did it ever occur to you he was ASKED to compose that why by Michael Bay?

And... calling Steve a fake Zimmer, listen to Desperate Housewives, Steamboy, Command & Conquer 3 or his horror scores. I don't hear anything from Hans Zimmer in the music. Do not judge if you don't have enough information.

Steve Jablonsky is famous enough. But you should know that fame isn't important in the filmmusic word. One who wants to be in the spotlights as composer is going to MTV, not Paramount.

first of all, steve jablonsky is a fake zimmer, I mean look at the transformers movie, when I first watched it I thought it was zimmer's work, he's just a copy of hans zimmer, he has no ideas of his own, he just steals zimmer's ideas. I dont like copiers, but people dont know that , that's y zimmer is famous and jablonsky is not

the full end credits in the game, reminds me of the rock crossed with the crimson tide soundtrack and the dark knight. The gulag theme was also very good, definitely reminded me of the rock and the peacemaker combined

It's sounds pretty good although i didn't play the game. There are few interestig parts but I expected something more - not just electronic beats from MV library.

I doubt that Zimmer sacrificed more than 2 weeks for this.

@Hybrid Soldier: are u sure about that? that would be kind of unfair since they never released any COD score in stores yet... why should they release the zimmer score now? hmm.
