"The prospect of a "live" album featuring the music of Zimmer brings some questions to mind. The main question most will ponder before listening to this release is, "Just how will Zimmer's music, which is so often dependant upon its delicately balanced mix of live orchestra and synthesizers, translate to a live performance?"

The live performance holds both positive and negative traits for most of the pieces presented. While some of Zimmer's music originally composed for and performed by much larger orchestras suffer a bit, an interesting spin is placed on them which still makes them a reasonably enjoyable listening experience.
