This is quite apt.
I've always looked upon Randy Edelman as the First Zimmer. The Grandfather of Media Ventures.
He seemed to start that homogenised orchestra/synth sound, taking a decent sized orchestra and making it sound like one big Super Synth.
And the anthem-like broad theme, layering it across scenes and itself becoming trailer music heaven.
All things that Zimmer and Co would go on to emulate and tweak.
So yeah, there's simpatico to this.
Hello, long-time reader, first-time post. Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree with you on this one. I am a big Edelman fan and have been since the early '90s. He has a long history (and he knows it personally) of being associated with underperforming films but his music is the silver lining in all of them. I especially remember the "D's" of 1996: Daylight, Diabolique, Dragon, Dragonheart, Down Periscope. No real theatrical winners but the music lives on... in my collection at least. Randy Edelman really did perfect the art (and science) of taking small budgets and opportunities where they presented themselves in these films to move emotionally however you want to call it big/vast/powerful intense walls of sound. Aided by the orchestration and mixing assistance of Ralph Ferraro and Elton Ahi respectively, Edelman had a wining combination. I have heard orchestral-pure versions of some of his films, namely Dragon and Gettysburg and they, to my ears, sound thin. I absolutely love the combination of electronic with orchestral and he did it and obviously wasn't shy about it. I am looking forward to Backdraft II but I wonder if there will be a soundtrack release for this. I hope so and in this case, it's rare - usually someone else scores Edelman's sequels but not in this case. Unlike something like Boy Next Door which lends itself to more subtle tracks, with Backdraft II we may be able to get that old explosive, melodic magic that Edelman was really known for back in the 90's.

Well Zimmer used a Edelman theme in Broken Arrow, so only fitting that Edelman use Zimmer's theme in this sequel.

The Fire In A Brooklyn Theatre stuff from Come See The Paradise. I don’t have the LLL version to know why it’s credited now, but I imagine someone got litigious.

"Coming from BACKLOT, not INTRADA on May 10:"
We had this same confusion a month or two or so ago where Backlot did a release, and Intrada did the physical CD. Backlot doing something does not mean Intrada is not.

The “Sean” theme sounds like Benjamin’s theme from Benjamin Button.

Did anyone hear this? How is it compared to Zimmer? No Zimmer theme adaptations?
