Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Too Many Notes, Not Enough Rests from Drop Zone is where Zimmer first used that sound that we would hear in Pirates of the Caribbean and in parts of The Rock.
Acathla, it really is a tremendous score. I hope you got a chance to sample the rest of it. DeputyRiley did a pretty good complete score breakdown of it a few years back.
So I like the album version of Hi-Jack, but I really want the film version for that last minute. I did a DVD rip of it and did a pretty decent job of isolating out most of the sfx and all of the voices. It's for my own personal collection of course and the quality is still no where near what an official release would be.
I'll repeat what I said earlier. I'd even be content with a simple reissue of the original Drop Zone album if it were just remastered. Does anyone else feel the original album could sound a lot more dynamic? In the movie the music feels so powerful. The sound from the album sounds too quiet and flat at times.

I think you're right. I personally think that kind of sound was born with Black Rain, fine-tuned with Backdraft and Point of No Return, perfected with Drop Zone, and then became recognized and championed beginning with Crimson Tide, continuing on with The Rock, Broken Arrow, Peacemaker, MI:2, Gladiator, Pirates, King Arthur, Batman, etc. etc. etc.

I really need to sample Point of No Return. I have never listened to it. Any action packed tracks from that score?
Bringing up Broken Arrow, I want to talk about the 15:58 minute mark in the track Hammerhead from Disc 2 of the LLL release. Earlier we brought up epic for Too Many Notes from Drop Zone. I think that one minute in Broken Arrow may even top the epic level of Too Many Notes. Listening to it on a Bose sound system is a riveting experience.
So homework assignment for those who do not own Broken or Drop Zone. Listen to Hammerhead from Broken Arrow and Too Many Notes, Not Enough Rests from Drop Zone. Be sure to crank up the volume.
I enjoy Zimmer's current work however in my opinion his best stuff was in the mid-90s.

All the above would be welcome, but Prince of Egypt is my top priority.

Not many action-packed tracks in Point of No Return, but if you love the style mentioned above, you’ll love the tracks “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Wedding Bells.”
I agree about that moment in “Hammerhead” - while I don't think it’s as good as “Too Many Notes, Not Enough Rests,” I do still think it’s an incredible “tune” as HZ would say.

The only think I remember from The Rock is that it gave me a huuuuuge headeache.
You can't really have given it a proper listen. If anything, listen to track 3 and the last 3,5 minutes of track 6.
I listened to it in the theater. I was enough. Never more.
LOL
For your own good, I advice you to not discuss with that Toroto guy. Then maybe he magically disappears.
