My favourite film music composer!
Ever since my discovery of his vibrant and moving score for The
Lion King,
I have started collecting soundtracks featuring his music.
You may not have heard of his name,
but you'd most probably heard his music in films like
Backdraft, Pacific Heights, Driving Miss Daisy, Days of Thunder, Rain Man,
Crimson Tide, Green Card, Drop Zone and more recently
Broken Arrow and The Rock.
His recent projects are The Fan, a psycho-thriller
starring Wesley Snipes and Robert de Niro,
The Preacher's Wife (no planned released of score)
. His latest release is for the film Smilla's Sense of Snow, starring Julia Ormond.
Upcoming project includes The Peacemaker
(starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman)
and Prince Of Egypt - Dreamworks SKG's first venture
into computer animated features (think Toy Story).
Combining synthesised sounds with symphonic orchestral and choir
passages to achieve a unique blend of symphonic and electronic
music,
Zimmer's style is distinctively one of a kind.

My Rating System
***** | Perfect? |
**** | Super! |
*** | Enjoyable, but not "must-buy" |
** | Duh... should've spent my money on tons of ice cream instead! |
* | Who's this composer? I demand a refund! |
- Scores are judged by their originality, quality and most importantly: listenability (which is subjective).
- Soundtracks under each composer's section are arranged in order of preference.
- Scores with rating *** 1/2 and above are worth buying, in my opinion.
