Dear Levente Benedek:
Thank you very much for your support. I know that there are many people out there who know who is the greatest film composer ever (as opposed to that Melomaniac, who must be drunk). As you have pointed out, Zimmer is the only one innovator in film music. Before him, only the great Vangelis had managed to use successfully synthesizers in film music. Do you know what's the problem with critics?. They are sort of mummies who think that the best music ever is classical music, and who therefore think that only those composers who have a classical training and style can deliver us with truly master pieces. But this is an error. Synthesizers allow us to make use of a huge amount of different sounds which help to create beautiful and perfect atmospheres. Take for instance the soundtrack of "Bladerunner". Do you really think that Williams' orchestral sound can compare to Vangelis' magic? Do you think that Bladerunner would be the same with another more classical music?. NO. THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. On the other hand, Zimmer has proved to be quite versatile, in that he has successfully used orchestras in scores like "Thin Red Line". And what a heavenly and superb music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Williams should feel ashamed, because his score for "Saving Private Ryan" is quite mediocre, and by no means can be compared to Zimmer's score. What a shame!! Williams has been defeated using his OWN weapons, his own style. Ja,ja,ja,ja,ja,ja. On the contrary, it would be funny to see whay kind of music would Williams have composed for, for instance, "Beyond Rangoon" or the superb "The Prince of Egypt". I'm not saying that Williams' music is shit. No, no. What I want people like Melomaniac to understand is that Zimmer is THE BEST, THE ONLY GENIUS IN FILM MUSIC. All of the others are just disciples.
Well, again thank you for your support,I do also agree with your words.
bye
