Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Black Hawk Down is the fifth collaboration between composer Hans Zimmer and director Ridley Scott, and following Gladiator (2000) and Hannibal (2001), their third in fewer than two years. Though set two millennia after Gladiator, Black Hawk Down's unrelenting African warfare has much in common with the former blockbuster. Zimmer opens with comparable Arabic flavoured atmospherics leading to his trademark pulsating percussion and razor-sharp digital production values. The Andalusian colours of his Mission: Impossible 2 inflect the catchy world music/dance ballad "Barra Barra" before the score diversifies through textures that blend moody American (blues) and African folk elements with passages of programmed suspense underscore and electronic, sequenced fury. With so many elements fused into polished, perfectly organised musical landscapes, the result is occasionally like a compilation of elements from all Zimmer's recent hit scores. In battle cues such as "Tribal War", relentless rhythm takes over, but it is for the hymnal "Gortoz a ran", the haunted pure beauty of "Still", and the lament of "Mogadishu Blues" that this release is more likely to be remembered. As with Pearl Harbor, Zimmer concentrates on emotion over action, though here his work is influenced by the real folk music of the people involved, and hence the more moving for it.--Gary S Dalkin


Chronique amazon.fr

Moins d'un an après le fameux Hannibal, le duo Hans Zimmer/Ridley Scott se reforme à nouveau pour offrir une vision sans fioritures du débarquement des troupes américaines en Somalie, en 1993 : La Chute du faucon noir. D'approche froide et contemporaine, Hans Zimmer délaisse son style synthétique habituel pour s'investir dans une ambiance néoréaliste (Arvo Pärt, Olivier Messiaen) exposée dès "Hunger". Usant de voix africaines (Baaba Maal en tête) et d'une orchestration locale (Cumbus guitare, Saz, percussions), Hans Zimmer (et ses complices Hector Pereira, Lisa Gerrard, Michael Brook) adjoint bon nombre de rifs de guitare électrique formant ainsi un groupe anticonformiste de sons et de mélodies. Évitant le piège de la musique militaire, le compositeur mélange chaque teinte orchestrale et vocale avec son contraire. Cela donne des passages ahurissants d'audace, "Tribal War", et de provocation, "Mogadishu Blues". Intense et tiers-mondiste, ethnique et américanisée, osée et académique, la partition de La Chute du faucon noir ressemble à une énorme œuvre bourrée d'explosifs sonores et harmoniques. Un débarquement – réussi celui-là – musical hors norme aussi risqué que maîtrisé ; quand l'audace rejoint la création, Hans Zimmer n'est jamais bien loin. L'album propose également la chanson "Barra Barra" interprétée par Rachid Taha. --Didier Leprêtre

4.0 out of 5 stars takes you to Somalia whether you want to go or not, Sep 27 2009
By Brian Maitland (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I defy anyone to listen to Rcahid Taha's "Barra Barra" and not immediately be transported back to the streets of the capital of Somalia as you saw it in the movie.

The whole soundtrack is great background music as it's like those old soundtracks where they actually put the "music" on the albums rather than "songs."

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch The Film and Weep, Jun 4 2004
By V. Marshall (North Fork, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This sountrack by Hans Zimmer is terrific. I don't believe you can watch the film and not leave the theater without the music in your head. Ethnic, violent, hanunting and tragic all at the same time it continues to bring to life the tragedy of the film with each listen. A powerful ride and well worth the purchase!
