Unfortunately, The Cove is one of my favorite cues, but that's good news. Again, we can be assured that it is indeed his voice and style here, as opposed to many cooks in the kitchen? (I do consider The Downed Dragon to be a significant cue, since it is a defining moment of the film, and I've pointed to it as a masterful piece of thematic statements. That fiddle at the end!)

I did know about the unofficial Hans Zimmer website, but I didn't know they provided cue attribution. Where is that on the page?

And just for kicks and giggles, which MV/RC score was the credited composer involved in the least?

(Does Filmtracks have a PM system? I doubt that the community would appreciate me starting a thread every time I get curious!)
