BATMAN BEGINS Suite - Hans Zimmer / James Newton Howard


Preview


Here's the first one of a series I will post from now on. It will take some time: for the past few years, I've edited about 100 scores by Hans Zimmer and Media Ventures / Remote Control Composers, for myself, family and friends.
Now it's time to share them.
This is a work in progress: since I discovered the world of soundtrack blogs a few month ago, I found new and great material to work with.
I hope you'll enjoy the experience! It begins with Batman... Begins.

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN - Harry Gregson-Williams



By now, there is no doubt everybody's got his own version of the recording sessions for "Kingdom of Heaven". However, here is the one I made for this inspired soundtrack.

CDs 1 & 2 present the score as it's heard in the film, plus some of the album versions.
CD3 presents the alternate cues (yes, in disorder, but that's on purpose: to avoid repetition as much as possible).
CD4 features full length versions of the additional tracks.

Feel free to comment on the result (and on my home-made covers)!

RED SONJA / BLOODLINE - Ennio Morricone



And #1 is... Red Sonja. The proof that bad movies can sound good when they're scored by a genius. Here the soundtrack is edited in 2 suites.

Finding this CD, I also discovered "Bloodline", where the maestro alernates lounge and creepy music.

By the way, only 1000 copies of this CD were made... That's a shame.

Red Sonja

1. Symphonic Suite for Chorus and Orchestra - Part I (16:37)
2. Symphonic Suite for Chorus and Orchestra - Part II (18:42)

Bloodline

3. Main Title (01:48)

Total duration: 65:45
