Zimmer uses a real orchestra and themes in a lot of his scores.
A shame he dubs it so heavily with synths, you'd swear it was all electronic
Yup pretty much. Not sure why they bother using an orchestra at all if a natural orchestral sound is not the goal. I know it isn't zimmer but with 300 Rise of an Empire (though produced at Remote Control Productions) I couldn't believe they actually used an orchestra when I saw it in a recording video because you wouldn't know from the sound of the music in the movie.
Hmmm...not sure what to make of these samples. It's certainly...different from Horner's score. I'm sure this will spark a 'Captain America'-like debate. Ok guys...shoot!
Count me in. I am sure I am one of the few thats excited for this. Glad there is a delux though most of it seems to be songs shoe-horned in. At least we'll get a couple extra score cues a la MOS.

Yep, count me in for this one, too. I like what I'm hearing. Some of it brings to mind the old Zimmer action licks ( Broken Arrow / Black Rain / Drop Zone era ). In other samples I'm digging the Tangerine Dream sound from several cues starting with "There He Is". The voices/ singing... not so much... maybe Electro gets all crunked or something ? Still, it sound very good so far!
Still not sure what to make of this score... quite a diverse mix of styles in the samples and it'll be interesting to see if something cohesive comes out of this. Electro suite just sounds like an outtake from Nightmare Before Christmas! It certainly sounds better than Man of Steel did from its samples. We'll see...
I'll give it a whirl but my hopes aren't especially high, given that the last film was as dull as a beige room in a Manila folder factory in the desert and that Spider-Man's theme is a direct copy of probably the most famous piece of Americana music from the classical repertoire.

Which piece are you talking about? I heard it all over Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand.
Hm. Some really electronic , dub-step-ish parts I greatly dislike, like in "I'm Electro". I don't listen to that type of music, but I understand it has popular appeal. And then there are the pieces with a great horn melody, like "I Need to Know" and "I'm Spider-Man". Color me intrigued; I'll have to get a more complete listen before I decided to buy or skip.
? Still, it sound very good so far!
