Marselus Oscar® Nominee	You are right madono....one month waiting for the clips and they are terrible...and if the clips are the best moments of the score, well, ejem....it might be the worst Zimmer score ever...I´m really disapointed. But I hope the Maestro will return soon with a better score (I hope so...). Let´s have faith. See you!!

otten Oscar® Winner	I was able to get 2 of the tracks from the score from this website: http://www.bruckheimer.n3.net I actually liked what I heard. I really enjoyed Lisa Gerrard's work in Gladiator, and I liked her on the one track I got for BHD, too. The music so far seems to incorporate a mixture of music that would be common in Somalia, some rather rock like guitar work, which seems unusual, but might work in the context of the film, and finally some choral pieces a la Enya in Lord of the Rings (Which, by the way, was my favorite score of the past year. So you see, us Zimmerites do like other music.) Ed

HadrianD Oscar® Winner	I rarely trust the first 30sec samples of ANY SCORE much less these clips. But it seems like Hans is experimenting with more worldly music. It remind me of what Power of One was. An album full of Somalian soundscape and composition.

JJH Oscar® Winner	I doubt anyone's going to be noticing the score while in the theater for this film. NP -- The Flame and the Arrow, Steiner

Vladimir Oscar® Winner	I listened to all the clips and i am kinda confused? I won't make a final judgement until the cd comes out. But from what i have heard so far, this sounds like nothing great. I still like Spy Game better!! Matt

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	Well after listening to the clips. I was nopt that impressed. There were a few ok tracks but overall it sounds like Zimmer failed to take hold of grand oppurtunity. But those are just clips so there's still some hope. cross fingers here NP: A Beautiful Mind (James Horner) Jz

Norman McCay Oscar® Winner	I got a chance to watch the movie last night. Pretty packed house. Anyway, I believed that both the movie and the score patterned themselves after "Three Kings" (though BHD hardly involved any politics and came off less blatant than "Three Kings" in preaching the [im]morality of war). Much of the music in the first half of the movie sounded like Burwell's "ethnic" track (I can't remember for the life of me what the title was...it had the word "Gold" in it though) from "Three Kings" while throwing in some of his "Journey to the Line"-like cues during the climax resuce sequence near the end, meanwhile adding solemn beats to go along with the action. I think the track is called "Leave No Man Behind" when Garrison actually said those words over the radio. I just pray that nothing was cut out in the soundtrack, because this last rescue sequence was at least 10 minutes long, and the music was right there along with the action. I was slightly disappointed when I heard the 30 second clips at CDNOW, but now I realized that they did a grave injustice because Zimmer's score worked so well with the movie, especially during the second half of the film. There were definitely some moments when it seemed that Zimmer was reverting back to his Crimson Tide-era of military commando/action themes, but they were somewhat subdued. Nevertheless, it appropriately conveyed the seriousness and horrors of war. If anyone's curious, Lisa Gerrard's track ends the movie (and the credits).

BMUSTANG Oscar® Winner	It comes out Tuesday right? So I shouldn't just go out and get it or should I see the movie first?

Norman McCay Oscar® Winner	I think it would be more fitting to see the movie first, because for once it is THE MOVIE that dictates the tone of the music, not the other way around in most of Zimmer's other works (I argue so because most of the movies he worked on pale in comparison to the music he composed). For what it's worth, the movie is a must-see. I think BHD is probably the only movie to date to be qualified as a true war movie, because it is based on nearly 2 hours of real time war--meaning that 95% of the movie occurs during a span of more than 2 hours in reality (the other half hour is the pre-extraction and post-extraction), and all of this takes place on the battlefield, hardly any Saving Private Ryan-esque bonding between the soldiers.

Norman McCay Oscar® Winner	dgoldwas is right...forgive my inaccuracies in describing the plight. The MOVIE'S time of 2 hours focused primarily on the time period between 3:42 PM of October 3, 1993 (if I remember the date correctly) to around 5:50 PM of the same day, leaving the other half hour to depict the hours after 6:00 PM to early morning because the actual rescue took place the following morning. 14 hours sounds about right.
