    Whoever compared Zimmer to Williams here and why? They are very, very different in the nature of work, style, etc.
    There are dozens of great modern composers and a dozen of older composers all different.
    Its the same nonsensical comparison i have been hearing all my life regarding Metallica/Megadeth. I like and respect both bands.
    Same story with composers, i get inspired by many and based on how i feel i will listen to either Zimmer, Barry, Silvestri, Horner, etc....or do you always eat the same food?
    You could then say Williams is no Wagner...how far do you want to go with this?
    Enjoy the history of music and the vast material, get inspired, learn and be grateful you are alive and healthy to appreciate all this great music.
    This is not a diss at you Mynock, i think youre a cool guy, i just think there are different ways of looking at things in life.
    Peace. :cheers:

    This is the keyword in your writing. Could you tell us why he thinks differently? He likes to think differently or isn't able to think the other way round?

    Why do you think differently? Because everyone is a unique individual.

    Do you know why useless alternative and decorative arts (mostly having roots in post-modernism and minimalism) have emerged and by who?

    are you that person who keeps making accounts talking about postmodernism and does not know what postmodernism is, but still uses it only as a frail attempt to discredit things you do not like and push a narrative?

    I'm just telling the facts. An insightful unprejudiced listener can stand up and be counted about them. New styles' fan clubs and their groupies make frail attempts to credit or discredit.

    It seems you're just one of those dilettantes or neologists who supports anything fresh in art without making even a frail attempt to understand that freshness isn't anything but spoiling the art. For God's sake give understating the genuine art a shot rather than putting question marks at the end of the sentences or foisting your thought's inferior merchandise on the listeners.

    lol... i was excited, i was promised facts. all i got was the same old manipulative pretense. the same old poorly written weasel words.

    frail attempt, frail attempt, frail attempt.

    such a pity. i will wait only till the 12th of never -- no longer.

    steamrolled by the world, they create an club of rome -- a delusion machine, with attendant reality of majesty and grandeur, where flights of future fantasy intersect with affect for an illusory past and they are the true arbiters of all things whole and genuine. no one joins.

    Sadly, cause he is a Jew from Germany as I, he is no John Williams or Richard Wagner at all; while modern hollywood desperately tries to put him in the same league. I think Vangelis, Ennio Morricone, even someone as mainstream as Danny Elfman; have created a better work that stays in the heart and mind of critical listeners.

    location of birth, creed of parents, insignificant affects of the past, new/old, fresh/stale, hearts and minds -- hollywood! modern hollywood at that. these are the most important criteria i judge a composer on. i punch that valuable onto a data card and slot it into the computer, it spits out a ticker tape that says 'u r gey'. i don't know what that means, but i watch a movie scene, zimmers cue plays, sound comes out of the speakers, seems to work -- but does it? are you an 'approved' listener?

    H.Zimmer - The gladiator honor him looks a lot like an earlier one (which is my favorite anyway) from 5.05-6.25 ..

    Hans Zimmer is a pure genius and probably best soundtrack composer of all times, among that very wise man and amazing businessman. My respect for him is enormous.

    I am deeply insulted by this topic, but i won't remove it because at AudioSEX everyone deserves to have their own opinions.

    I don't think he is top notch in everything he has written so far but unlike some dudes he is smart enough to recognize that and move on. Along the way he has dropped some remarkable scores in different ways. He's a volcano of ideas, always on top of the game for recording, production, mastering and delivering stuff at the last minute. You cannot beat that.
    There are more talented orchestral composers out there? Sure! Chances are he already knows them as well if not better than you.
    Is there anybody who can beat the production quality army of Mr Hans? No one!
    I think even if you don't like him for whatever reason you can learn a lot from how he handles his crafts. And that alone speaks volumes.
