Product Description
From Amazon.com
If the basic thematic elements of this Bruce Willis star vehicle--American military unit gets cut off behind enemy lines in a guerilla-besieged African backwater--have parallels with Ridley Scott's fierce, unrelenting Black Hawk Down, composer Hans Zimmer (who scored both films) has conjured an entirely different musical soul for this adventure. Where his Black Hawk score turned on a gritty, often violent clash of musical cultures, his work here is richly introspective and tinged with a mature sense of melancholy. African rhythms and melodic elements bubble to the surface throughout, but in subtly powerful ways that often recall the best of Peter Gabriel's world music ventures. Zimmer has again impressively expanded his repertory company approach to scoring as well, with veteran collaborators Lisa Gerrard and Heitor Pereira joined here by Steve Jablonsky, Andreas Vollenweider and Lebo M. (who's written and performed the score's passages of African poetry). The result is a moody, evocative score whose quiet grace recalls the composer's masterful work for The Thin Red Line; another satisfying tribute to the power of musical understatement. --Jerry McCulley

Great music; disrupting chants,
By Lee (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tears Of The Sun (Audio CD)
The score features some great music by Zimmer - he never disappoints me. The trouble I had with this CD comes from the African chanting. I'm very big on music from movies like this, and the chants interrupt the flow of the score. Kopano Part II is so sad sounding if you can ignore the chanting. That piece would be so much better without it. Honestly, it sounds like a retarded person wandered into the recording studio and stole a mic. Lebo M. literally just yells over the music. It takes away the emotion, in my opinion.4 stars for Hans; I had to dock one for those annoying chants.

Sweet,

This review is from: Tears Of The Sun (Audio CD)
With all of Zimmer's music, you are there, not at the concert but in the field. The music is always amazing. If you liked Black Hawk Down and the Thin Red Line, you will like this cd.

Zimmer Does it Again,
By jordan (Memphis, Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tears Of The Sun (Audio CD)
Wow! Once again he comes through with another amazing score to a great movie. A must for Hans Zimmer fans! If you only got the final track, it would be worth it. A classic "Zimmer sounding" song
