The music we know Zimmer did for sure is "Opening Titles." I have a sneaking suspicion he also worked on "Extraction Point." But the rest of the music is Lorne Balfe, with help from a whole slew of additional composers:

Given all those names, I guess we'll never know just how much of this score is really Balfe and how much influence the other people had, though.

If you think this is the best album ever, you must not have heard many soundtracks.
Now don't get me wrong, it's lots of fun and contains some kick ass moments (The last minute of Extraction Point, holy shit!) But this probably wouldn't even crack my top 1000

No BF fanboy here. Not a fan of first person shooters in general. I like RPGs and RTSs. And nope, this score wouldn't make my top 1000 either. It's incredibly average.
Mike (OTM)
2017-03-19 00:03:37
Really true, @trent. All the tracks here are awkwardly compressed, which makes for some weird listening at times ("Extraction Point," "Contingency," and others just sound kinda "squashed" compared to the full versions).
Not to mention that most of the in-mission music is missing. This album is like...theme ideas (and poorly presented theme ideas), not much else. A shame, cause a lot of the individual moments in the game are really good. I'd love a better release for this one.
2017-03-25 12:34:53

i had the track deadline playing in my head this morning and i had to listen to it again. it made me realize how some of these cues are a real part of my life and what they mean to me. i was in college, with no goal in mind and the freedom to do whatever with my life. this particular track had so much meaning for me...
this soundtrack, among other things, were driving factors in my life. i am so glad to be part of the journey and i hope Hans and music composers know that their work is truly greatly appreciated.

A woman does not understand the feeling of war. I think it's a wrong choice, I can imagine that the game will be a failure again.
2019-06-02 16:12:33
I mean ... she has composed for the most recent game of Infinity Wards (Infinite Warfare) and I'm not gonna say it was bad although it wasn't perfect either. So even with the fact that she has composed already for the series not so long ago, I believe there were much better choises.
Maybe they did contact composers such as Lorne Balfe but maybe they were busy at the moment which isn't a surprise at all.
2019-06-02 16:17:01
> A woman does not understand the feeling of war. I think it's a wrong choice, I can imagine that the game will be a failure again.
geez, this is 2019... a lady is equally fit to score a war game. language has no gender and if music is communication why should music worry about gender?
2019-06-02 16:25:43
Another thing is that, a person mentions Balfe in twitter about his work in MW2 and he asks Lorne if he will be scoring another game. And Lorne replies: "Funny enough ... coming soon"
I suppose the game he is talking about isn't call of duty. It is also possible that we might see a collaboration
between him and Schachner. Everything is possible, isn't it?

2019-06-02 18:10:02
I never said that she is not a good composer. I love her music on many many games and movies (Assassin's Creed Unity, Call of Duty MW3 and so on ...)
I'm just saying that just for the sake of variety it would be more exciting to see other composers score this game.
2019-06-02 19:24:47
Sarah Schachner is an excellent composer and has scored other action games like Anthem.
2019-06-02 19:27:32
Oh wtf man such a terrible choice she's never impressed me with her music at all another trash Call of duty soundtrack. Shit hasn't been good since MW2 why didn't they reach out to balfe.
2019-06-02 21:48:52
Imagine being offended and angry in 2019 because a woman is composing the next game in the call of duty franchise.
personally i think that she did a fine job in Infinite War although the main theme sounds too similar to Dinobot Charge by Jablonsky.
2019-06-02 22:02:00
The Call of Duty scores have always been 25% highlight tracks with 75% mediocre, nondescript ambiance, and generic electronic percussion with string chords. Whether it was Harry Gregson, Stephen Barton, or Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe, that has always been the same. Stop pretending like this franchise has a unique voice that no one else can replicate. These scores are as generic Hollywood as you can get.
Sarah Schachner's scores are generic too, but at least she has more interesting soundscapes. Plus her action from Anthem is often just a more stylized version of the Call of Duty "style" anyway. It's not interesting, but it's about as interesting as every other soundtrack in this genre.
2019-06-02 22:47:41
> superultramegaa
Bear in mind my friend that this is utterly subjective. It might be nondescript to you but to me, it's not. Listen to MW3 soundtrack. Every single track has its own language and none of them include "generic electronic percussion with string chords".
Yes, the franchise doesn't have a specific voice dedicated to it and it's due to the fact that the stories are rather different, so were the composers.
But Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, Stephen Barton, David Buckley, Brian Tyler, Harry Gregson-Williams, Sarah Schachner ... all these people had their own astonishing language to express the voice we are talking about, some of which I enjoyed much more.
So the conclusion is that it has never been generic. Just compare Sarah Schachner's "Assassin's Creed Unity" to "COD Infinite Warfare".
2019-06-02 23:42:54
I know it's my own opinion. That's why I expressed it. COD has a general musical language that Brian Tyler and others slightly altered, but it still always has the same elements I mentioned.
None of it sounds distinct to me, and almost always uses the same general instruments. Some composers try to stylize it more than others but at the end of the day, it's the same general formula.
2019-06-03 00:23:58
You must not have heard Jack Wall's scores for the Black Ops series if you think that they all sound the same.

I did not make any gender discrimination, some people here are very prejudiced and think that every comment he makes is correct. This is my opinion and you must respect it. I've been playing games for years and I've listened to the music of most female composers and I don't like it at all. Yes, I respect every composer (male / female), but I don't like it, it's my opinion. I think female composers should make music for romantic movies because they're better at romantic film music. This game will be completely messed up. The company sank, and they need money, so they had to resurrect this series. (Modern Warfare)
2019-06-03 04:07:07
Someone hasn't heard Shirley Walker, I see.
2019-06-03 05:37:56
@ private hybird
I don't have to respect your opinion. Your opinion is ridiculous. There are plenty of female composers who can score action films and games and there are plenty of male composers who can score romantic movies. You are entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't make it any less ludicrous.

There are rumours that the next game of the franchise is going to be a reboot of Modern Warfare series(the game will be revealed on May 30). It was supposed to be called "Modern Warfare 4" but sources are pointing out that since it's a reboot and not a continuation, it will be called "Modern Warfare" again.
All these aside, I'm excited to find out who is gonna be the composer for this game. Hans, Lorne or maybe Harry?

i would die and go to heaven if Lorne is back doing modern warfare. What he did for call of duty has not been topped in my opinion. I pray to God he's doing it, we need that sound in COD again. It needs to feel like a summer blockbuster

2013-09-20 19:25:37
Very possible they do compose for film trailers, and the video game music is similar in the way it's written, whereas film score is a little less repetitive
2013-09-20 19:38:18
You have, like, zero idea what you are talking about, MacArthur. It appears to me that you just put random words together and hope they'll make something that resembles a sentence.
There is just no way - NO WAY - Two Steps From Hell will compose a score for a videogame. Ever.
2013-09-20 20:01:07
And you know this because..................Oh wait you don't.
2013-09-20 20:12:54
What I was saying was a GUESS. Mike was wondering if they would do a video game score and I said it's POSSIBLE. Because if they were paid enough money I'm sure they would do it.
2013-09-20 20:16:15
With that definition - would you also say it's "very possible" for Ennio Morricone to score Avengers 2?
2013-09-20 20:27:35
MacArthur, you really need to stop. Your comments are getting very annoying. Behave yourself a little bit more, please...
2013-09-21 02:00:24
Ennio Morricone If he was offered. again it also has to do with who the director wants to do the picture. I took a GUESS and said it was a possibility. I did not say it was going to happen Heck....Zimmer could score Avengers 2. Like I said it is just the Director's choice.
Also if you don't like our conversations you don't have to say anything. Mike and I were having a conversation if you don't like what I have to say, just don't comment on it. we are talking about music composer's and possible music composer's. From what I'm grasping that's what we are supposed to comment on right.
And if you don't like the way I type, or have a problem with what I say, Get a life. Because I'm allowed to have an opinion as well. that is what this site is for.
2013-09-21 11:24:05
You don't understand. Guesses don't work this way. They need to be based on something logical, but yours wasn't. You just pulled a random name out of your ass and said it was "very possible for them to score Call of Duty" because "they do compose for film trailers, and the video game music is similar in the way it's written, whereas film score is a little less repetitive". What kind of guess is that? You could put there literally any trailer music group (Audiomachine, X-Ray Dog, Immediate Music...) and the result would be the same.
Picture this dialogue:
x - Anyone knows who will compose a score for The Avengers 2?
Y - I guess it's very possible for Ennio Morricone to do it.
X - How do you know that?
Y - Well, he composes film music, doesn't he?
You've done the same damn thing. It wasn't offensive or harming in any way, it was just incredibly stupid.
2013-09-21 17:08:16
Like I said It was possible. But I understand that there are hundreds of film composer's.
I'm Just saying that of all of the Hundreds Two steps from hell would be seriously cool.
Heck, Like I said. Zimmer Could come back and score this game. I don't know.
I was trying to engage in a conversation with Mike, cause also if you didn't know other topics can come out of these conversations and I think it was rude of you to just come in and say your "stupid" or an "a**" you know if you have a problem leave it alone.
You don't have to comment on something if you don't like it.
2013-09-21 17:41:56
Not to depart from the original topic, but MacArthur makes a good point: as scared as I am of this idea, Zimmer COULD score Avengers 2. I thought for sure he wouldn't be attached to a Marvel film, but then we got the Spider-Man news.
2013-09-21 18:01:51
Well, Silvestri's score (and his Captain America score) was by far the worst piece of superhero music I have ever heard, so I would be glad if Hans (or practically anyone from RCP) did it instead of him.
2013-09-21 18:30:55
I liked the old-school style of Captain America. We got a fanfare march. That just doesn't happen anymore. But The Avengers was insanely forgettable. I almost always notice the music while I watch a movie, but I don't remember any of what was in there.
2013-09-21 19:30:48
Agreed! Captain America, I enjoyed it and Thought that the Fanfare was Totally America. It was a nice score. The Avengers though I thought was very good as well. (I have the Soundtrack)
2013-09-21 21:16:42
You know I said Two steps from Hell Because they also did the Vietnam Documentary It's a war film and a couple of all the guys who did that did some sort of Video Game

2013-09-22 18:41:42
Some of the things you say, Macejko...I mean, Silvestri's Captain America and Avengers scores were admittedly forgettable outside of their main themes, but worst superhero music ever? Honestly?
And MacArthur, you're a damned fool.
2013-09-22 19:50:13
I seriously cannot think of a worse example than those two, Edmund. I've seen pretty much every modern superhero movie there is, and I've heard their scores, too. Silvestri is a bloody good composer, capable of creating great themes and soundtracks overall, but his Avengers and Captain are a total travesty in my opinion. Only the main theme of the Avengers is more or less good.
2013-09-22 21:05:11
I didn't like Batman and Robin's score. The theme was okay, IF you could totally remove it from the awful film and view it as a piece of music. I found that difficult.
2013-09-22 21:30:02
Agree with Macejko here. The Avengers score was just dull. Given that Marvel have no idea what "musical continuity" means, it's very possible they pick up Hans for Avengers 2.
As a fanboy i'd be delighted. Batman? Zimmer. Superman? Zimmer. Spiderman? Zimmer. Avengers? Zimmer. It would be another proof that he's still the king of modern filmmusic :p
Btw, the official website for "Captain America 2" has a track by Henry Jackman, it sounds pretty good imo.
2013-09-22 22:12:03
I'm still seriously of the opinion that Zimmer should be the designated DC guy, but stay the heck away from Marvel. lol. But yes, Marvel has no idea what musical continuity is.
Edmund Meinerts
2013-09-22 22:25:46
@Ds - that is exactly what I don't want to have happen. It was bad enough in the early 2000s when Danny Elfman was doing practically every comic book movie that came out...but Zimmer is starting to develop this really annoying ultimate monopoly on superhero scores. I don't even think he's that good at them to be honest, and yeah, obviously that won't be a very popular opinion here, but I just don't particularly like his brooding pounding non-thematic approach. When he occasionally breaks out of that shell into something a bit more heroic and emotional ("Like a Dog Chasing Cars" or "An Ideal of Hope"), I like it, but for the most part it seems very mono-mood and, honestly, dull. Silvestri's more old-fashioned scores for Avengers and Captain America are nowhere near what those movies deserved (I mean, look at what an awesome score he did for that awful Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd movie), but they're refreshing if for no other reason than they aren't afraid to go for some propely heroic brass fanfare. Real brass, not that synth crap Zimmer is obsessed with lately.
So, long story short, if Zimmer gets hired on Avengers 2, I'll...I'll...scream with impotent rage. And start a petition or something. :p
2013-09-22 22:57:07
I agree, Edmund. Zimmer has shown that he can write something big and heroic, but he insists on being a minimalist and having people "earn their themes". I get the idea, but I feel like he may be taking comic book films a little TOO seriously. I also agree that he's gotten a monopoly on the genre. Still, I like his Batman music a lot and would say Man of Steel was good for the most part--though its use in the film left a lot to be desired.
2013-09-22 23:09:09
I guess part of my appreciation of Zimmer's Batman music particularly is that I really like this incarnation of Batman, and I feel that the music Zimmer wrote nails said incarnation (even if the insistence on minimalism was sometimes aggravating and some of his music for the villains was just obnoxious). They totally could have used the awesome part of "Like a Dog Chasing Cars" in the Pruitt Building scenes, but no, they went and used a cue similar to "Train Fight". I was disappointed when I saw the movie and found the former piece unused.
Speaking of that, that is certainly something I would say Zimmer superhero scores could work on--villain themes. The Joker theme was "something Hans wanted us to really hate", and it fit the film despite its near-unbearableness to listen to, so I'd actually give that one a pass, but I felt like a lot of the music for Bane was just...ugly. Muscular and no-nonsense, but not great as a listening experience except on occasion. And the music for Zod and the Kryptonians in Man of Steel was rather generic. Bad? No. Great? No. It could have been a lot more.
2013-09-23 01:26:06
Disagree about man of steel. and Edmund you are a fool because Zimmer actually does use brass I talked to one one my friend's who is a horn player in an orchestra and he said that the way Zimmer uses his horns is possible. And the use of the man of steel music in the film I thought made it a lot better.
Now granted I don't want Zimmer doing every Superhero movie that there is but for the majority of composers that are out there I think that Zimmer or one of his people would do it best. And Zimmer's superhero scores have been amazing. and I don't expect anything less of Amazing spider-man.
2013-09-23 01:29:15
And for a little additional info, Richard Watkins is Zimmer's Horn Player.

Yes, Zimmer uses real brass players but he then "overdubs" them with his original samples and ends up drowning out whatever organic tone was there in the first place. At that stage it sounds so fake that he may as well never have bothered with the orchestra in the first place. Save a bit of money that way.
The sad thing is, most people probably can't even tell the difference.

That's kinda the point cause Zimmer is the Father of mixing Synth and Real Instruments in movies. so all the things that he does with the brass is Real and I don't think sounds like a Sample. I listen to John Williams A lot and find a lot of similar stuff in terms of the horn so in reality there really is no difference at all.
Edmund Meinerts
2013-09-24 11:27:17
So you're saying the brass in, say, Williams' Superman theme vs. Zimmer's "Ideal of Hope" cues sounds exactly the same? You can't hear how thin and tinny and, frankly, cheap Zimmer's sounds in comparison? And I'm fine with him being the pioneer of mixing synth and orchestra or whatever. He's done some amazing work in that field. But what I don't like is when he uses synth to cover up the existing orchestral performances. IMO you should only use electronics to produce sounds or tones that you couldn't get using an orchestra. John Powell gets that; you can always tell what's what in his scores, and I love it. It's what makes his music so colorful.
2013-09-24 15:23:36
What Edmund said.
2013-09-24 16:56:43
How to Train Your Dragon was all samples just FYI. and Believe it or not, yes Zimmer's brass in Man Of steel was real and is definitely possible. Now they didn't sound the same, but it's all on how the horn player play's it. I have studied music for a long time and believe me it is possible. Williams Horn Player's don't attack or put as much hard breath into it whereas Zimmer's Players put sharp breath's into it (Therefore Creating the BRAAAAM). Or Sharp and tinny sound as you say. that's why he uses Watkins one of the best horn player's in the WORLD.
2013-09-24 17:06:27
I see that he does use synths in the music but I don't get how or why you say that it "overdubs" cause he doesn't. He uses a main thing and he knows not to over ride that.
And Also another score by Powell that was all Samples. was the Bourne scores and I quite frankly thought that those were some of his best scores (Also Read The Zimmer Article). so stop complaining about samples and the thing that I definitely know that when Zimmer does sample he always uses real people and records them (Martin Tillman) then uses his program to mix it and put it on screen. so even on his program you can hear in essence a concert hall. Get it.
Edmund Meinerts
2013-09-24 22:14:13
I really don't think you have a clue what you're talking about, MacArthur. Powell's Bourne scores were most definitely not done with only samples; there's plenty of drum loops and synths in there, but the strings are real orchestral strings. You can tell because they sound, for lack of a better word, "meaty" - you can never quite get the same sound out of samples.
Although I do agree that some of the brass in How to Train Your Dragon sounds like synth at times (one of the very, very few bad things I have to say about that otherwise phenomenal score), but at others it sounds very organic and "real".
As for Zimmer, you act like I'm denying he uses live players; I'm not. His soloists, Martin Tillman's cello for example, are obviously live recordings. But just listen to the Sketchbook from Man of Steel (which is all samples) and compare it with the same music in the actual cues from the score, which allegedly contain the real orchestra. I can't tell the difference, can you? And that's because he overdubs the orchestra with his samples. It's a well-known fact that he does this (so stop denying it), and it bugs me because it makes his scores sound low-budget and cheap when there's no reason for it to. Even by the standards of today's samples (which are quite high - just listen to Jeremy Soule or Two Steps From Hell), Zimmer's just don't sound as good. And I bet it's intentional, I bet it's because Zimmer gets so used to the sound of his music on his own keyboard mockups (like the sketchbook) that he doesn't want to change it at all. And I don't like it one bit.
2013-09-25 02:15:55
Now I agree about the Sketchbook. but When It comes to his string samples his do sound real believe me. I have done and been in orchestra hall's and Zimmer's sounds real.
Powell's drums especially in the Bourne 3 In the track "waterloo" those drums are samples and Zimmer's Stuff even though it is samples as you say. it does sound quite real and I think it sounds more real that two steps from hell (The track "Fill my heart)
Zimmer's Sketchbook sounds more real than that. Now granted I like them Both. But I can tell the difference. and I think Zimmer's are better and more real sounding and he has adapted to the modern sound better than any composer in my opinion. (In a sense he pioneered it with the Batman Scores. (Read Dark Knight Booklet). So that's why in my opinion Zimmer is the best.
2013-09-25 08:59:56
MacArthur, just stop with your subjective "facts" and ill-informed critique. "They sound real, believe me." Who is to say that something sounds real because you happen to say so? Honestly, man, give it a rest, geez...
Hybrid - a little housework is needed here bigtime!
2013-09-25 17:33:52
What You don't seem to get is they are not subjective. I'm backing Zimmer's because people slam his use of synths and I've had concert hall experience and I say it sounds real.
Edmund Meinerts
2013-09-25 23:57:07

Just One Question if you don't like Zimmer why do you follow him.
2013-09-26 00:15:22
This will no doubt come as a surprise for you, MacArthur, but liking or loving somebody else's work doesn't mean you have to worship every single thing they do, or every single aspect of said thing. And Zimmer is not Jesus nor is this Twitter, so nobody follows him. (and don't you dare ask me if I'm a catholic or any similar "doesn't-make-a-sense" question, or I'm gonna loose it)

If you think that, you're an idiot. Most of his stuff I find very good I think that he is the best film composer out there and that is my opinion. (The Lion King I didn't Think was that great.) I think that Crimson Tide should have won before that one did. So your Info about me and everything you assume about me is false.

I think that there are far superior videogame soundtracks to this generic RCP Score. It's fun listening experience i'll give you that.
2018-08-11 13:20:20
Best videogame score ever made is John Debney's LAIR. MW2 doesn't even fit my Top 10.
2018-08-11 16:52:47
Medal of Honor: Frontline by Michael Giacchino it's one of the best for me.
2018-08-13 01:00:59
I go with Lair and Outcast as most favorite.
And also the Blizzard games music like Word Of Warcraft, StarCraft and Heroes of The Storm
2018-08-13 04:00:29
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is by far on top for me. It feels like the ultimate culmination of Jeremy Soule's work on the the series along with symphony-level quality for the town and exploration music.
2018-08-13 04:05:48
Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, Returns and Tropical Freeze.
Edmund Meinerts
2018-08-13 10:20:45
Gonna have to chip in for Skyrim as well, although I'm biased because I used to put hundreds of hours into that game :p
Oscar Araujo's music for the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games is pretty good, as well as Geoff Knorr and his team's work on the last few Civ games.
2018-08-13 11:48:44
I agree with Araujo and Knorr wholeheartedly. Cannot say the same for Soule; I always found his music lackluster and unfocused, sans the main theme of course. I'd like to mention my first runner-up, which is Destiny: Rise of Iron alongside Destiny 2. I was never a huge fan of the first two scores (original game + the first expansion), but the moment a guy named Rotem Moav got on Salvatori's team, the music became incredible (even though I have no evidence that those two events are related). Nevertheless, since it's stylistically so different from old-school and symphonic LAIR, I'd probably name it my No.1 alongside it.
If you guys are looking for recommendations, be sure to check these out:
The Witcher 3 (Marcin Przybyłowicz, Mikolai Stroinski, and a band called Percival), LotRO: Riders of Rohan (Chance Thomas), Assassin's Creed IV (Brian Tyler), Alone In The Dark (Olivier Deriviére), Eagle Flight (Inon Zur), Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius (Noriyasu Agematsu), Ni No Kuni I/II (Joe Hisaishi), and of course Medal of Honor and Gears of War IV by Ramin ;)

But the best film score of all time is Lord of the Rings... :>
2018-08-13 16:32:15
Lord of the Rings (and even The Hobbit), are the only film scores that I'm buying an entire book for, just to fully understand the themes and motifs.
2018-08-13 16:43:35
Can I just add, the album presentation for MW2 is really lame? It's a big, dare I say "epic" score in the 1990s Media Ventures mold. I think it's really solid. There are lots of different ideas from the first mission to the last, and a lot of them are written in the power anthem style that Hans ans co. don't really use much these days. Even Opening Titles is a throwback for Hans himself.
Unfortunately, almost none of the music as heard through the game is here. Instead, we got a bunch of shortened theme suites. :P
But the Gulag mission, the oil rig stuff, The Enemy of My Enemy, and lots of other missions all have pretty engaging and powerful music. I wish the RCP guys would do scores like this one more.
2018-08-13 17:26:11
Best film score of all time in lion king. Without any doubt. ;-)
2018-08-13 17:26:55
IS * lion king
2018-08-13 20:44:25
Not really a fair comparison, Hybrid, since videogames as a medium are much younger than films, and their scores weren't using real orchestras right until... mid 90's, would be my guess (feel free to correct me, guys).
The all time best film score for me would be a battle between The Last Samurai and Lion King. If "movie" includes TV shows, then it's Game of Thrones without a doubt, but I'm not gonna have this argument again ;)
Btw. I wouldn't mention Hobbit in the same sentence with LotR, even music-wise. A couple of great cues cannot hide the fact that Shore's heart wasn't in it.
2018-08-13 21:22:52
The Lion King and The Last Samurai are good choices, but I'm not as much of a fan as Zimmer's aesthetic or thematic work nearly as much as Howard Shore, or even Jablonskly at times. Game of Thrones I still can't comment on as I've never watched the show, or payed attention to Djawadi in general.
I would say Shore's heart wasn't in Desolation and Five Armies, but to say that about Unexpected Journey doesn't really feel right to me. Even themes like Gondor Restored and Nazgul's uses have some logic to them.
Gondor Restored was also used when the Ring is destroyed, meaning it also has a secondary meaning of victory against evil, (yes I know it affected Gondor too, but Gondor it isn't as direct). Which also applies in The Hobbit, as Bilbo saving Thorin was not only important for their relationship but also the future of Middle Earth as Thorin is vital to the battle against the orcs in Five Armies.
The Nazgul theme also makes sense as its first appearance is in Fellowship's opening, playing over Sauron's army of orcs, then Sauron himself. So it's linked both to Sauron himself and his servants, which includes Azog. Plus the version that plays in the film is the exact same variant (and lyrics) that plays in the Fellowship prologue. It serves almost as a precursor to the Nazgul. Plus I don't see why themes can't have several meanings anyway.
Plus I love most of the new themes of AUJ (before they were abandoned in later films).
2018-08-13 22:12:11
Honestly I feel like most of the issues with AUJ (and the other two hobbit films) were stemming from Peter Jackson editing the hell out of the music after the fact. It could be why they ended up dumping some themes in the following films.
Still, I don't understand some of the criticism that the Hobbit trilogy scores received. DoS has some of the best action material imo, and the interpolations of Smaug's theme(s) throughout the films are personally some of my favorite music from any LoTR project.
And this might be controversial, but I would put PoTC (the first three at least) on the level of Lord of the Rings in terms of the sheer amount of themes and development they receive. Maybe not quite as complex but they shouldn't be overlooked.
2018-08-13 22:28:02
Lord of the Rings - Shore
Battlestar Galactica - McCreary
Both are up there as my two favorite collection of works. GOT doesn't even compare to BSG.
For solo albums, my candidates are:
The Lion King
Memoirs of a Geisha
Jurassic Park
2018-08-14 13:34:31
Track 11, Onwards, here is my most favorite cue from the CoH franchise. It has that old school "power anthem" thing going on about it with full force. I truly wish this style is brought back to life again soon.
2018-08-14 15:19:43

Zimmer's Opening Title track is really an underrated gem of the last decade as far as themes he's written go. It harkens back to his 90's sound, a la The Rock, and presents a genuine, tuneful, heroic theme that I wish he'd revisit. It's awesome. Much more interesting to me than his "take a couple notes and see what you cab do with them" approach he's started since working with Chris Nolan.

I quite agree. I'd love to hear Zimmer do an action movie and write a theme like he did for MW2, but I really doubt he'll do that. This was already 7 years ago. He's moved on in his style. :( I don't mind his new style, but a throwback would be cool.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed here before, but it would be cool to get a definitive answer to this question to clear up something I've been curious about forever:
Did Hans have a hand in the "Extraction Point" theme? One, it has always struck me as *sounding* particularly Hans-like (along with "Code of Conduct"...). Two, the cover says, "Main ThemeS" by Hans Zimmer, and while we know he did Opening Titles, the word "themes" implies more than one track.
Do you know anything about this, Hybrid?

It's true. "Code of Conduct" especially is trademark Zimmer, POTC-esque stuff.
2013-08-23 18:21:03
I think the track "Ranger Victory Theme" which is in Extraction Point was Zimmer because that is one of the Main Themes in The game. Of all the Tracks i Listed Zimmer's Themes are all throughout the tracks and used 95% of the time so i would say that these tracks are written by Zimmer and also the track safeguard

2013-08-24 07:17:09
Ok but like I said it sounded like Zimmer and I know that he didn't do much of this score but i Know that he had some slight involvement in MW2 in the tracks I listed.
and I know that he collaborated on this score a little not so much but a little. it's like Lorne on Inception just vise-versa Zimmer doing a little and Lorne Doing the Majority because i do know that on the tracks i listed he did have some involvement.
2013-08-24 07:41:08
This is the only Balfe score that I really think is good. not usually a fan of Balfe cause he repeats himself to much if you do it twice thats fine. but over and over again it gets old. Zimmer I from what i've heard doesn't usually repeat himself more than twice. from all the soundtracks I have of his. and also the way Lorne Orchestrates his music is just not as good as Zimmer's. that is my opinion. Zimmer's is more full than Balfe. another one who has a full sound and doesn't tend to repeat himself is Steve Jablonsky hence my 2 favorite composers. Zimmer is definitely my all time favorite. and for you people who say that he doesn't Compose. of course he does MoS TDKR POTC etc. get a life

Yes bundy what are you saying that he doesn't write give the score name's.

Well see, Zimmer might have given some level of input on the other music (since he was the score producer, he would have layed out the general direction to take with the music as a whole), but I'm pretty sure the only writing Zimmer did on here was the "Opening Titles" piece (which was reprised for a few moments as the closing titles after Nikolai says, "Da, I know a place"--it then segues into Lorne's "Extraction Point" cue). Maybe Hybrid can prove me wrong, but I think Zimmer only did Opening Titles (though Lorne and others occasionally and briefly reused that theme in their own cues). It's like Skylanders. Hans did the theme and gave input to Lorne, but didn't do any of the other composing.
2013-08-24 15:16:19
I think Hans wrote the whole opening titles, and Lorne et al took the opening violin statement played by Noah Sorota and turned it into a recurring motif.

How much did Zimmer have to do with this score as a whole? I get that he composed the main titles, but the end credits list him as the score producer, and sites like iTunes and Dave Metzger's site credit the score to him without Lorne's name attached. So what does it mean, in this case, that Hans produced the score?

Absolutely... not...
Atli worked on Favela levels...
I know Mancina/Metzger did 3 levels, but not which ones...
It's a complicated case...
2013-05-31 20:57:25
I don't know about the individual missions, but on this release:
Opening Titles = Hans Zimmer
Extraction Point (listed as "Moscow Action" on his site) = Lorne Balfe
Retreat and Reveille (listed as "Threat" on his site = Lorne Balfe)
Onwards (listed as "Onwards Action" on his site) = Lorne Balfe
Chain of Command (listed as "Reload" on his site) = Lorne Balfe
Coup de Grace (listed as "Threat Adiago" on his site) = Lorne Balfe
2013-05-31 21:23:17
Nick Phoenix did Deadline. Funny because that track sounds completely "90s Zimmer" to me.
Then Noah Sorota apparently did the music while Soap and Roach are climbing up the ice, or some variation on it (it's called "Cliffhanger: Stealth" on his site. It's not on this release though.
I would assume judging from Hybrid's respond that Atli Orvarsson did Guerrilla Tactics. But neither he nor Mark Mancina have any MW2 music on their sites.
2013-05-31 21:54:27
I can't help thinking that Mancina did the Crow's Nest and Ordnance parts of DC, but I might be wrong..
2013-05-31 23:20:37
I believe Mark Mancina did the snowmobile-escape sequence ("Safeguard") - but again, I have no actual proof. :)
2013-05-31 23:29:45
Bioscope: I think "Ordinance" sounds like something from Lorne rather than Mancina (mainly because of those short horn-pulses ... he used similar technique in Ironclad, Megamind, The Sweeney and Crysis 2 :) ).
2013-07-12 01:41:53
Out of curiosity, Prott, what makes you guess that?
2013-07-12 14:08:50
You mean why I think Mancina did Safeguard? It kind of reminds me of his writing style (mostly in Speed 2).

I haven't read this play, but we analysed it in a university class. It sounded interesting, a woman stooping social-position-wise to conquer a man who is not her peer. Maybe the story just doesn't deliver the premise well. I hope you find more good classics!
- Jen on December 5, 2010 at 9:10 AM said...
I think it was partly due to not getting a good description about the play before reading it. I didn't have a solid idea of the plot and tried to figure it out as I went. I'm gonna see if my library has a copy of it and try it that way. We'll see if that makes a difference.
- Casey (The Bookish Type) on December 5, 2010 at 10:44 AM said...
Aww I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it! I've never heard of this one either. Perhaps it makes more sense if you see it performed? I find that to be true of most plays, even the great William Shakespeare lol.
- Jen on December 6, 2010 at 8:40 AM said...
Casey, you're probably right. I may give the play another try later on. I'm gonna have to keep my eyes open for it being performed near me. Thanks for the suggestion!

(written from a Production point of view)
The Vor'cha-class attack cruiser, making its debut in Star Trek: The Next Generation's fourth season episode "Reunion", originated from the strong desire of the The Next Generation's production staff to have a distinctive Klingon ship style of their own. As explained by Michael Okuda in 2009, "Those two ships – the Vor'cha and the Negh'Var – were an important part of the TNG evolution. They were the first Klingon ships in the TNG era that were not recycled from the feature films. As much as we love the battle cruiser and the bird-of-prey, we wanted very much for TNG to have a Klingon ship style of its own, and these ships gave it to us." [1](X)
The Vor'cha-class attack cruiser was designed by Rick Sternbach. According to Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission, Sternbach's design incorporated elements from the first Klingon vessel designed by Matt Jefferies for Star Trek: The Original Series. Sternbach himself noted in 2009,
"The Klingon Negh'Var class super battlewagon had its beginnings in the Vor'cHa class attack cruiser back in September of 1990, when the producers wanted a new main Klingon ship for the TNG episode "Reunion." The familiar D-7 type battle cruiser, even with its updated look from the Star Trek feature films, was getting perhaps too familiar, and I got the chance to come up with a new ship. The original design style of the battle cruiser was never far from my mind, since it was such an iconic Matt Jefferies creation, and I was always determined to provide some kind of lineage, some continuity, some evolution that viewers could recognize in the new hardware. "On top of that, keeping Starfleet and alien styles distinct and interesting was what many believe set Star Trek apart from other SF productions. The Vor'cHa was great challenge and an opportunity to nail some specific bits of equipment, and add a little unofficial history to the Trek scenario. Before anything else, a big tip o' the hat to Greg Jein and his minions for the terrific miniature. (...) The attack cruiser is a bit sleeker than the previous Bird of Prey, and less of a gritty dark green. It's still armored and armed to the teeth, however, sporting a number of disruptor banks and torpedo launchers, as well as a new main disruptor cannon." [2](X)
Additionally, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion stated that the design of the Vor'cha-class ship was meant to illustrate the marriage of Klingon and Federation technologies due to the ongoing détente between the two powers, as further confirmed by Sternbach, "The structure, as well as the hull coloration, was meant to show a slight blending of Klingon and Starfleet technology, seeing as how there was something of a détente in operation" [3](X), and, "The idea here was to combine elements of the original battle cruiser (and the hyper-detailed versions from the movies) with some slight Starfleet influence, as though there was some deliberate technology sharing between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. The color was a bit lighter and less of a saturated dark green, the wing lines a bit curvier, but overall still recognizable as Klingon." [4](X) This translated in warp engines reminiscent of those of 24th century Starfleet vessels with the addition of Bussard collectors and a color scheme somewhere between the dark green of the Bird-of-Prey and the light gray of the USS Enterprise-D.
Sternbach intended the forward module of the Vor'cha-class to be an ejectable module in cases of emergency as evidenced by this blog entry(X) in regard to his later Negh'Var-class modification, "I suppose the "daughtercraft" was an extension of the thing I did with the Vor'cHa with its main disruptor cannon section, in that it was detachable in a fight if damaged. I was influenced by the movie The Beast [sic.], which Richard James worked on, where one of the Russian tank guys said, "Out of commission, become a pillbox. Out of ammo, become a bunker. Out of time, become heroes." Figured it would work for the Klingons. It wasn't that the little ship was there to let them run away, but more to give them more options to stay in a fight. All a matter of what you do with the gear you've got." Never seen or referenced to on-screen, his module intent, however, was dutifully transferred to the instruction sheet of AMT/Ertl's second TNG model kit of the Vor'cha, no. 6812, which stated that the forward part of the ship was a detachable mission specific module and interchangeable with other modules. In emergency situations it could act as a lifeboat. The model kit was designed as such, as the part was detachable. Even after the signing off on his final design in September 1990, the forward module design of the Vor'cha-class, continued to occupy Sternbach's mind as he envisioned alternative design variations as late as January 1991, a solid two months after the episode was aired.
A set of four of Sternbach's original design sketches for the Vor'cha, was sold as Lot 292 , estimated at US$800-$1,200, in the Profiles in History's The Ultimate Sci-Fi Auction for US$850.00 on 26 April 2003. Two of Sternbach's forward module modification designs, were sold off as lot Lot 321 in the Propworx's The official STAR TREK prop and costume auction, estimated at US$100-$200, where they sold for US$120 (including buyer's premium) on 8 August 2010.
Physical studio model
The size Sternbach settled on was three-quarters of the length of a Galaxy-class, which was faithfully followed by Greg Jein, whose company built the studio model, and which came in at three feet, three-quarters of the length of the new four feet model of the USS Enterprise-D. It marked one of the few times that a studio model was actually built in scale with a major "hero" studio model.
Due to time restraints, Jein solicited the help of an acquaintance, David Merriman, Jr., who recalled, "A new Klingon ship miniature would be introduced in an episode where Worf learns of the existence of a bastard son. Anyway, in Greg's cover letter that accompanied the drawings, he explained that (surprise! – [remark: Merriman had made several more warp engines for Jein for previous models]) they needed us to make the warp engine for that miniature. And (surprise!) time was a critical issue! Though possessing a great deal more surface detail than Federation warp engines, this one was at least symmetrical i.e. the left and right sides of the unit were of identical form. So, in the interest of time, I elected to make an intermediate master of only one side, make an in-house rubber tool and cast two sets (left and right half piece). A single winglet, wart and warp engine front assembly were made as well." (Sci-Fi & Fantasy Models, Issue 30, 1998, p.39) In the TNG Season 4 DVD special feature: "Select Historical Data" (disc 7), both Sternbach and Jein are interviewed about the design and construction of the Vor'cha-class.
For its appearance in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's fourth season two-part episode, "The Way of the Warrior", the notion of a marrying of Federation and Klingon technology was partly reverted as the model was repainted, with some of the raised hull paneling colored burgundy red and, in a few places, yellow.
Having made its debut in the Star Trek: The Next Generation fourth season episode, "Reunion", the model has only been used for the television franchise, and all footage of it, as was the footage of the other physical models mentioned below, was filmed at Image G.
As of 2012, the studio model itself, never modified save for the paint adjustments, and having escaped the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection and It's A Wrap! sale and auctions, is still in the possession of CBS Consumer Products and has been on tour displays such as Star Trek World Tour, Star Trek: The Adventure, and Star Trek The Exhibition as late as 2012. [5]
Other physical models
In the aforementioned episode Deep Space Nine, "The Way of the Warrior", several other physicals models of the Vor'cha were also used for the massive battle scene, supervised by Dan Curry, Gary Hutzel and Glenn Neufeld. These were modified commercially available Playmate toys (No.6155) and AMT Star Trek model kits (No. 6812 ). (Cinefantastique, Volume 28, No.4/5, page 72) Being the first mass battle scene ever shown on Star Trek, it was also the last one entirely done with physical models (save for a few shots with a CGI Defiant, the only one available at the time). David Stipes having stated at the time, "I'm not sure what K't'inga is. There are a lot of old style Klingon D-7 [sic] Cruisers and Vor'chas. (D-7's are model kits and Vor'chs's [sic] are the sound making toys.)", repeated the procedure for Deep Space Nine' season five closing episode, "Call to Arms", using the same Playmate toys as before, the last time physical models of the Vor'cha were used. [6]
An additional filming model for specific use in a live action television production, was constructed at Gregory Jein, Inc. For the later Deep Space Nine season four episode "Sons of Mogh", he cast a copy of the model and modified it to showcase extensive damage to its superstructure sustained after it accidentally triggered on of its own cloaked mines. The model was featured as the IKS Drovana in the episode. Intended as a throwaway shot, the model did not require internal lighting nor did it sport the with rust-burgundy painted paneling as had been applied by this time to the main filming model. This actually constituted something of a minor continuity error, as it was the main model with the redressed paneling that was featured being hit by the mine (with the explosions added in post-production editing), before cutting to the damaged version of the Drovana prior to being towed for docking at Deep Space 9. Jein repeated the procedure for the later seen K't'inga-class IKS B'Moth, featured in the subsequent season.
Pursuant the construction of the Drovana, a limited run of twelve, built from the same mold as the original studio model but without the internal lighting and endowed with the original light green color scheme, was later sold, in 1997, at US$7,000 apiece with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jein at the Viacom Entertainment Store in Chicago. [7](X) Modified molds of the model had already been produced previously for the future Klingon attack cruiser seen in "All Good Things...", a design which, in turn, developed into the Negh'Var warship.
Sternbach had his own personal AMT study model, as seen in the DVD special feature, auctioned off as Lot 294 , estimated at US$1,000-$1,500, in the aforementioned The Ultimate Sci-Fi Auction for US$800.
Debris from an exploded Vor'cha-class breakaway model were sold in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction as Lot 18 on 29 December 2006 for US$1,025, having most likely been used in a Deep Space Nine episode.
CGI models
For appearances in the last two seasons of Deep Space Nine, a CGI model was built at Foundation Imaging by Trevor Peirce, who had the original physical studio model in its revised livery at his disposal for reference, thereby giving his CGI model the darker green color usually associated with Klingon ships, under the supervision of Ron Thornton, it making its debut in "Sacrifice of Angels". (Sci-Fi & Fantasy Models, issue 32, 1998, p. 53)
In 2001, Robert Bonchune and Adam Lebowitz refined the CGI model for representation in their book Star Trek: Starship Spotter, and the model went on to make several additional appearances in and onto licensed Star Trek print publications, most notably in the Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendars and their book derivative.
In 2014, Fabio Passaro re-rendered Foundation's model into a new, more refined version for representation in the British Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection partwork publication. His version lacked the rust-colored paneling that was there on both the physical and digital studio models. [8]

Juicy Polypropylene Carving Board
I'm going to let you in on a secret – the secret to the most flavoursome jus you've ever tasted. When you carve a roast, the jus that comes out of the meat has the very best flavour. I've designed this Juicy Carving Board at a 2˚ angle so that as you carve, the juices flow down to collect in the clever catchment tray - this is the juice that professional chefs use to make super tasty sauces!
The polypropylene board is an extension of the bamboo Juicy Carving Board (link to bamboo board). Some of us have kitchens that really suit wooden boards and others have something a little more modern looking. I designed this board up to cater for those with more modern kitchens. In addition to aesthetics, some people simply like to cut on wood and some people like to prep on plastic. It's really just a personal choice and I've got something for both preferences!
Product Features
The inclined board and tray prevent juices from spilling all over your bench top.
The board also doubles as a stunning everyday cutting board.
Carve up your poultry and meat on this board and let the tray catch all those delicious juices for you.
Care & Usage
Before use, wipe with a damp cloth and allow to dry
After use, scrub with a warm soapy soft scourer and dry immediately. Do not use a metal scourer
Store in a cool dry area, allowing air to circulate around the board and the frame
Dishwasher safe
What's Included
Includes polypropylene carving board and 1 x Tritan™ plastic BPA-free tray
Includes removable bread board on the underside
Stand Out Features
Made from polypropylene and has built-in Microban antibacterial protection that helps keep your board cleaner between uses
The Microban antibacterial protection works continuously to help inhibit the growth of common household bacteria that can cause unpleasant stains and odours
Board is set at a 2° angle to allow juice to flow easily into the stainless steel channel as you carve
Can also be used as an everyday cutting board
Will not harm the edge of the knife

Batman: Arkham Asylum may just be the first game to actually do the character of Batman justice. We enjoyed it at GDC, explored the fighting system when Eidos sent in a playable demo of the Challenge Rooms, and now everyone is going to get a chance to get jazzed about the title: a playable demo of the game is coming to both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on August 7, this Friday.
What can we expect from the demo? "The Batman: Arkham Asylum� demo opens as the DARK KNIGHT and COMMISSIONER GORDON return The Joker back into confinement at ARKHAM ASYLUM," the announcement explains, with liberal use of caps. "But things soon fall apart as THE JOKER gains the upper hand and springs a trap, setting Arkham Asylum's occupants upon Batman." We're promised a look at the combat system, the Invisible Predator mechanic, and we'll see some of the enemies of the "infamous foes" from the game.
Even better is that the voice talent from the wonderful Batman: Animated Series is back reprising their roles for the game. This is a game to watch, and a demo coming so soon is great news. Batman: Arkham Asylum is coming to the 360, PS3, and PC on August 25.

3 inmates found dead in Acapulco prison
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Three inmates were beaten to death inside a prison in the resort city of Acapulco on Monday, an attack linked to a shootout inside another penitentiary last week that left 10 people dead.
The three men were killed after being transferred to Acapulco from a prison in the city of Iguala, where five gunmen, four inmates and a guard died in a shootout last week, said a Guerrero state official.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he's not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation, said the inmates were killed hours after arriving at the prison.
Guerrero state prosecutors said in a statement the inmates killed Monday had been sentenced to up to 35 years in prison for robbery and homicide.
Last week, a group of six gunmen managed to enter the prison in Iguala and opened fire, killing four inmates.
They then opened fire on guards who returned fire, killing five gunmen. A prison guard was also killed.
The gunmen apparently gained entry to the prison by telling a guard at the gate that they were officials bringing in a prisoner.
Mexican drug gangs have been known to assassinate members of rival gangs in prison. They have also have stormed prisons to free gang members.
Guerrero state authorities said they haven't determined what group or groups are behind the attacks.

Oh, just imagine the cutest projects! And all crocheted!?..
Crocheted ornaments, hotpads, dishcloths, hangars and towels that were made to look like kitchy dresses.
And everyone was just swarming her booth, swooping up all of her wares. I was entranced (and yes! I stared shamelessly) at the way she just beamed as people purchased her dearly crocheted items.
So, as soon as there was a lull, my daugher & I poured over her stuff too and I bought her adorable snowman towel.
I am off to the store to buy out their selection of Christmas towels.
Can you just imagine how many of these you could make for everyone?...

Half-Blood Prince Movie Pushed to July 2009
Aug 14, 2008
The sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, originally scheduled for a November 21 release, has now been moved to July 17, 2009 in the US and major international markets, according to MarketWatch.com. WB has confirmed the move to TLC. Update: The the official website has changed to reflect the date.
The press release says the reason for the move was two-fold: First, the studio says summer releases are better for "family tentpole" events, and second, they are still feeling the aftereffects of the writers' strike and need the time to make sure the film reaches the widest audience possible.
The new date, said Jeff Robinov, president of WB's motion picture group, does not alter the production schedule for the last two Harry Potter films; filming on the first of the two book-seven films will begin in February. "The good news for [fans]," he said, "is that the gap will now be shortened between 'Half-Blood Prince' and the first part of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.'"
The writers' strike, the release says, "impacted the readiness of scripts for other films–changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of. We agreed the best strategy was to move 'Half-Blood Prince' to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer."

When Neal Castaldo was turning 63 years old he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He was scared and confused. But from the day he entered the new Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center his fears were soothed. He was comforted, assured smiled at. Neal, a teacher for more than 30 years, says those are things you take with you… Neal's prescription was for 44 radiation treatments, five days a week for nine weeks. The first treatment on the first week was a mock treatment so Neal could feel what it felt like to be in the tunnel.
Neal describes meeting his radiation oncologist, Dr. Chika Madu for the first time. He was amazed she knew so much about him from the minute he walked into the room. She had obviously studied his folder thoroughly. She knew his past. She knew who his urologist was. She knew when he was first diagnosed. Neal said it was as if she knew him before they met. Dr. Madu also carefully outlined everything that would happen, which he found very comforting.
Neal says he was amazed at how easy the treatments actually were. He would arrive at the hospital at 8:30, be greeted with smiles, asked what kind of music he would like to hear (Neal likes pop music.) and at 8:45 a.m. he would be in his car driving away. During his treatments Neal had to meet with Dr. Madu every Tuesday, which he called "an absolute joy". She would check on his progress, ask about symptoms, because there are reactions that you can have to radiation. And answer any other concerns he might have, even including questions like how to tell his two grandchildren about his condition, or when he could take a vacation again. Neal said throughout his treatment Dr. Madu was always there for him.
Neal was astounded that for 44 visits he could be greeted with smiles and real concern, by every member of the staff he encountered. Whatever the weather, whatever other problems might be on their minds. Neal is now finished with his treatments, his prognosis is good, and he states glowingly:
"If I had a friend in need of any kind of medical care, I would explain to them that there is no other place they should go,'' said Neal. "In fact, I've already done it. At Hudson Valley every word they say, every question they answer, the thoroughness, the comforting tone in their voices, the feeling you get as a human being is all part of patientology."
