Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

For nearly a full minute, there's nothing but a low rumble opening the album with "The Coral Atoll". This is the first indication that this score will be difficult to recognise as coming from Hans Zimmer. The pause here is an effect that, once expanded upon, draws you into a whole new world of expression from a composer previously known for his all-action pyrotechnics (Crimson Tide, Broken Arrow for example). Here are placid textures for a gentle celebration of being alive--and the tragedy of it being cut short. When freshman troops land and make their nervous way to a holding point on the island, Zimmer follows them for an extraordinarily protracted time ("Journey To The Line"). The first six minutes (all the cues are as lengthy) build from a subtle ticking beat into an enormous crescendo of sound. It's also the closest the score gets to an easily identifiable theme. You'll pick out moments of melody (lovely harp figures opening "Light"; tolling bell and wailing male voice in "The Lagoon"), but really this is an abstract soundscape of wonder and terror. Zimmer's masterpiece is better seen with the film, but speaks to the heart as directly in isolation. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars The Music of War, 14 April 2001
Forget for a second that this album is even a score for a war movie. On its own, this music brings me to places which I had never seen before. This is music for living. Moving, exotic, textural, picturesque, uniquely emotional, this score transcends adjectives like "beautiful" and "moving". It is the soundtrack to the places which I dream of being. Add the fact that this is score to a WWII movie which has reinvented cinematic storytelling forever, and well...you have 2+ hours of moments which will change your life. Um, yeah, I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget Gladiator, this is Zimmer's best, 21 Jun 2000
By A Customer
Everyone raved about Hans Zimmer's score for Gladiator, which is good but not a patch on this amazing music: unlike the crash-bang-whallop approach of Gladiator this is lyrical, poetical and contemplative music, an evocative reminiscence of the film but much much more: Thin Red Line is richly scored, multi-layered and thoughtful scoring. Far and away the best thing Hans Zimmer has ever done.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best soundtracks I know., 15 Feb 2004
By Jan Dierckx (Belgium, Turnhout) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you listen to this music - composed by Hans Zimmer - you notice that it's nothing like the usual war-movie sounds (a lot of brass, pounding drums, etc.). Instead it's music that makes you dream away and it takes you to beautiful and peaceful places where you have never been before. The music is quiet with a simple but beautiful melody, sensitive and sometimes a little sad but never sentimental. This sadness and the fact that on two or three occasions you hear eerie voices and sounds, reminds you that there is a war going on.
It's a soundtrack you can listen to without having seen the movie.
