Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	As much as I don't really like Zimmer, I had to come by this. Almost glad I did, as TimT gave you the perfect title: Too Many Notes, Not Enough Rests I also liked Journey To The Line, but the Drop Zone crib is excellent. Shaun

TimT Oscar® Winner	Hmm Chase&August considering his selections, would those titles be appropriate? I came up with another one. "Millenium: Filmmusic for the Modern World" NP- Sunshine (Maurice Jarre) 4/5 [This message has been edited by TimT (edited 21 May 2000).]

cinema Oscar® Winner	How about: "Hans Zimmer: The Last Overture" or "Hans Zimmer: Back to a Score!" but i have more i just have to think...

AaronR1074 Oscar® Winner	UPDATE!! My Zimmer CD is completed. But I had to do ALOT of trimming to get the stuff that I really wanted to on one disc. Well, the bitch was the fact that I forgot how long some of his tracks were. So here is a nice, well rounded 13 track CD, which runs about 73 minutes long (still a nice lenthly disc). I had to ommit The Lion King, Peacemaker, Gladiator & Thin Red Line. The result is still quite remarkable: 1-2) Days of Thunder -Main Title - Car Building 3) Thelma & Louise - The Decision/End Credits 4) Backdraft - Show Me Your Firetruck 5) Point of No Return - Happy Birthday, Maggie 6) True Romance - You're So Cool 7) Black Rain - Nick & Masa 8) The Rock - The Chase 9) Broken Arrow - Main theme "Broken Arrow" 10) Crimson Tide - Roll Tide 11) Drop Zone - Too Many Notes/Not Enough Rests 12 - 13) The Prince of Egypt - The Burning Bush/Moses Tells tzipporah/Journey Back To Egypt - Chariot Race/Finale Eh...mabye when I have enough material I can make a second disc! TimT gave me an idea...how about "Too Many Notes, Not Enough Movies!" [This message has been edited by AaronR1074 (edited 21 May 2000).]

TimT Oscar® Winner	Ahh clever "Too Many Notes, Not Enough Movies!" Although Zimmer is doing quite well this year.

Matthew Oscar® Winner	I know they're dumb.But how about these: Too Many Synths-Not Enough Scores:The Hans Zimmer Experience Too Many Synths-Not Enough Time:The Ultimate Zimmer Collection Days of Zimmer And just for fun: The Computer's Down:The Hans Zimmer Nightmare
posted 05-22-2000 01:29 AM PT (US)

Richard Oscar® Winner	Aaron, thats a pretty good compilation CD, but I'm pretty sure that Zimmer didn't write "The Chase" from the Rock, I though it was Harry Gregson-Williams. "Computer's Down: The Hans Zimmer Nightmare" Muwwwwwwwhehehehehehehehe, I'm a Zimmer but, but I'll pay you that one.

Thor Oscar® Winner	How about: NO MAJOR CHORDS! (I hope you got the Previn reference!)
posted 05-22-2000 06:01 AM PT (US)

AaronR1074 Oscar® Winner	Richard, I got really frustrated with The Rock because none of liner notes credited who composed what tracks. So I just figured that since "The Chase" sounded like Zimmer, I might as well throw it on there. Does anybody know which cues are really his?

AaronR1074 Oscar® Winner	Can we keep the bashing to a minumim please? This is not a bashing forum. Thanks.

Norman McCay Oscar® Winner	Aaron, "ROCK 'N' STROLL?"
posted 05-22-2000 09:15 AM PT (US)

Chase&August unregistered	I actually read somewhere that Zimmer had only composed the theme for THE ROCK and a couple other cues, but that Gregson-Williams Glennie-Smith had composed nearly the entire score. So I would assume they rock "The Chase." Why doesn't Zimmer write his own chase scores? Gavin Greenaway did "Devoe's Revenge" for THE PEACEMAKER. (Has this guy done anything else?)
posted 05-22-2000 10:02 AM PT (US)

TimT Oscar® Winner	Yes Hans Zimmer only wrote a couple themes from The Rock for Gleenie-Smith to use as inspiration, and the majority of it is Nick Gleen-Smith work with additional cues by Gregson-Williams. Gavin Greenaway has done many European films I'm told. Other stuff he's worked on was Face/Off, Forces of Nature,The Borrowers, and Disney's Millenium Celebration. NP- A World Apart (Hans Zimmer)

Ron Pulliam Oscar® Winner	How about: Music by Committee Or: The Zimmer Files Or: The Best of Hans Zimmer (Now there's a title that's "telling"). : ) Ron
posted 05-22-2000 01:08 PM PT (US)

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Don't know about "The Chase," but I'm fairly sure Zimmer must have composed "Rock House Jail," it's obviously based on a rhythm from THE POWER OF ONE.
posted 05-22-2000 01:14 PM PT (US)

TimT Oscar® Winner	Maybe he did do some of it. He never did say exactly which parts he did. NP- I Dreamed of Africa (M. Jarre) 5/5
posted 05-22-2000 01:52 PM PT (US)

sean Oscar® Winner	Zimmer gave Greenaway the credit on Peacemaker because Greenaway structured the track that Zimmer wrote (Devoe's Revenge) I think I read an interview at Chris Caine's Zinfo that was with Harry Gregson-Williams; and he did say that he wrote the car chase sequence in The Rock.
posted 05-22-2000 02:08 PM PT (US)

sean Oscar® Winner	What about "The Hans Zimmer Crew," the title for Follow Your Dreams Vol. 3.
posted 05-22-2000 02:10 PM PT (US)

Chase&August unregistered	Sean - So you're saying Zimmer just wrote, like, the basic idea for the "Devoe's Revenge" track, then let Greenaway connect the dots (so to speak) and put it all together? Interesting.
posted 05-22-2000 02:15 PM PT (US)

Matthew Oscar® Winner	Actually the cue "The Chase" from THE ROCK was written by Don Harper.He was one of the orchestrator's on the film.He has done alot of conducting and orchestrating for Hans Zimmer and Mark Mancina.
posted 05-22-2000 02:39 PM PT (US)

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	So HOW many of the factory workers actually DID work on THE ROCK????
posted 05-22-2000 02:43 PM PT (US)

sean Oscar® Winner	Yeah, something like that (...regarding "Devoe's Revenge") Zimmer said that he basically wrote the track and Gavin Greenaway fixed it up and maybe re-orchestrated the thing, but basically that Greenaway worked so much on it that it would be good to have him credited.
posted 05-23-2000 10:04 AM PT (US)

razper unregistered	consider... "Zimmer, My Way" "Zimmer This Way" "The Difinitive Zimmer" "MacroZimmerics" "Never Less Than Zimmer" "Back and Zimmer Again" and for the elusive approach... "Fingerprints On Water"

AaronR1074 Oscar® Winner	MWRuger, I loved the last one "Tracking the Master: A Hans Zimmer Retrospective." It doesn't say anthing but what the CD is all about. Portraying how Zimmer's style changes over the years from his simple synth/rock tunes like True Romance and Point of No Return to full-blown orchestral masterpieces like Crimson Tide and Prince of Egypt. Very nice. I've narrowed the candidates down to two: "Hans Zimmer: Too Many Notes, Not Enough Movies" --->Thnx to TimT for the enfluence! "Tracking the Master: A Hans Zimmer Retrospective." I'm still open to suggestions! You all have `till next week to submit
