so, when the movie gladiator came out, i loved it and especially loved the music (courtesy of hans zimmer). so i immediately did my piratey thing and d/l’ed on the d/l. 🙂
i listened to it constantly and still often listen to it when i’m doing something of the creative sort that requires non-lyrical music.
so, when pirates II came out (I was composed by some other dude), i was delighted to hear strains of gladiator music in it, always one to appreciate soundtrack composers. valiantly i hold onto my horner-williams-goldsmith trio (that’s titanic-indiana jones-first knight, moviewise), but good god after hearing pirates III soundtrack, williams will have to be kicked out and zimmer is in. holy toledo, the music he wrote for the elizabeth/will scenes is absolutely beautiful and makes me want to cry.
except that whole wild-west guitar music is a little out of place, but i can live with that. when a movie has keith richards in it, i guess you gotta have a little electric guitar somewhere, eh?
