Complete
Discography
The Oxford
dictionary defines a discography as "a descriptive catalogue of gramophone
records, especially of a particular performer or composer." On the
following and subsequent pages, I have compiled a complete and as detailed
as possible discography of music either written, arranged, or produced
by Hans Zimmer and his distinguished colleagues. There are some blanks
here and there, so if you do have some information to add, then I would
very much like to hear from YOU, here.
Many thanks, and enjoy your stay!
Now, there are few things that I must explain before you enter the complete
discography. First, is how I have referenced each score. For
instance, consider the following example:
US Release |
Cool Runnings (1993)
Catalogue Number: OK 57553 Label: Chaos/Columbia Records Availability: In-print Total Score: 7:23 10. Countrylypso (2:48)
Comments: Co-credit with Nick Glennie-Smith. Short, but sweet score that mixes the sentimental style of A League of Their Own with cool calypso music! Includes a wonderful heroic theme, with upbeat action music. Sound quality isn't too good. Great uplifting film based on a true story :) |
(above) - everything is pretty much self-explanatory, however, just
a few things: I only list instrumental score tracks or songs written, arranged,
or produced by Hans or the Media Ventures group. Thus, total score
applies only to the score, and nothing else. Also, "availability"
concerns how easy the particular score is to find. For instance,
if something is "In-print," then it should be relatively easy to find in
your local store or online. However, if I note that something is
"Out-of-print", then used record stores, or specialty online outlets would
be the best bet. Things that are listed as "limited" are becoming
diffiuclt to find, so be quick! As a final note, if a title has something
in italics, then this means the score is special in that in is a
promotional item (and therefore, normally difficult to obtain).
Hans Zimmer Discography:
Now, onto the discography. For a complete list of films scored by Hans Zimmer and other Media Ventures composers, click on the following links: Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, John Powell, Jeff Rona, Gavin Greenaway, Klaus Badelt, and Justin Burnett. Please note that IMDB is notorious for reporting false information- primarily, because they report some information too early (scoring assignments can certainly change over time- this has pretty much been the case with many Jerry Bruckheimer films like Armageddon and Enemy of the State, where Hans was initially slated to score, but Trevor Rabin received scoring honours).
To make things easy, I've decided to separately list other Media Venture
composers. As the list for each composer grows over time, I'll eventually
start building individual pages.

Catalogue Number: 7243 5 56792 2 2 Label: Angel Availability: In-print Total Score: 49:46 02. Opening Titles - Z's Theme
(2:00)
Comments: Co-composed with Harry Gregson-Williams, with other selected cues written by Geoff Zanelli, Steve Jablonsky, and Gavin Greenaway. Arguably the most fresh and original score of the 90's; a palette of just about every musical genre you can think of! From full-blown sleazy jazz, to menacing regimental marches, to flirtatious love themes... Powell and Gregson-Williams really hit the spot with their surprise hit. Sound quality is astounding. |

Chicken Run (2000)
Catalogue Number: 09026-63702-2 Label: RCA Victor Availability: In-print Total Score: 57:45 01. Opening Escape (3:39)
Chicken Run (2000) Academy Promo
01. Opening Escape (3:39)
Comments: Co-composed with Harry-Gregson-Williams. Another fabulous score from the dynamic duo! Again, Powell and Gregson-Williams capture the essence of an hilarious film, with obvious hommage to the classic war films of the past. The music is laced with wit and style; a true classic. Sound quality is superb. Watch out for those kazoo's! The Academy promo omits the songs from the commercial release. |

Endurance (1999)
Catalogue Number: 09026-63482-2 Label: RCA Victor Availability: In-print Total Score: 48:32 02. Main Titles (2:28)
Comments: Long gone are the days that I used to pay hommage to High Incident eack week just to hear John Powell's score. When I am not thinking about the music he wrote for the series, or cursing Sonic Images/Dreamworks for not releasing it, I listen to Endurance, John Powell's masterpiece. Written for a documentary/film about famed long distance runner Haile Gebrselassie, the music creates such an intense feeling of spirit, emotion, and sorrow that it leaves you breathless. Top 10 of all time, definitely. The final cue is a song composed by Powell... an undiscovered gem. |

Face/Off (1997)
Catalogue Number: HR-62125-2 Label: Hollywood Availability: In-print Total Score: 41:44 01. Face On (4:57)
Comments: Contains additonal music by Gavin Greenaway. Powell's first major Hollywood score with Hans producing. The score opens with a gorgeously tender theme, then shifts into all-out anarchy! While the music worked well within the film (which by the way, I think is John Woo's best American film), it doesn't seem to work too well on CD. The redeeming feature of the disc is the final cue; a wonderfully uplifting piece of music. |
