Few years ago I had the pleasure of chatting with Mimi Leder and - me being a HUGE, HUGE fan of the movie and the score - I asked her a few questions about The Peacemaker. She said it's one of the movies she's most proud of, and that it was "great" to work on the score. Can't recall every detail from the converstaion, but still, it's good to know that she's proud of the movie. She should be: it's a spectacular action-thriller containing, in my opinion, one of Hans' best film scores. I know that the credit for the creation of the classic MV/RC sound goes to Bruckheimer, Bay, Tony Scott and Zimmer(duh!), but honestly we should put Mimi Leder on the list as well. She pushed the right buttons and under her guidance Zimmer and his team created one of the best action scores. So props to Leder as well!

Fully agree!
Along with The Rock, Peacemaker truly captures that classic Zimmer action sound from his MV days. I remember seeing this movie as a kid and the music standing out to me. Especially Dusan's theme, which is one of the most underrated villain motifs out there.

i think The Peacemaker is the best actionscore by zimmer from the nineties. the music has everything. excitement, tension, emotions, power, big anthems....the whole package. zimmer nailed it with this score and the movie is also a great action thriller. even 20 years later i still love to see the movie and listen to the score.

Glad to see more fans :))
By the way, I wanna say something on the subject. Despite the fact that people really do like The Peacemaker score, I personally think that this is a quite underrated score. What I mean by that: when people (film writers, journalists, casual fans) mention MV/RC or Zimmer himself, the scores they usually use as prime examples of a "typical" Zimmer-sound are always the same ones - The Rock, Crimson Tide, Armageddon, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, most of them Bruckheimer productions. And The Peacemaker kinda gets ignored. Sure, even though it made some money, the movie was not a huge global blockbuster, but still, the score is near perfect, as far as action scores are concerned. Same goes for Broken Arrow and Face Off. Maybe it's just me and this all sounds silly to you fellas, but I think those are all quite underrated scores. Even though the movies themselves are quite popular. It's just, I don't see a lot of people talking about them. Even on YouTube, they don't have that many views. While scores like Gladiator, The Rock, Armageddon, Pirates and Transformers have tons and tons of views. Oh well, it is what it is....
Allow me to reply to past a post of mine after 6 years. Back then it was impossible to find such a release, but nowadays you can easily locate this even in lossless format. Either way it is not an official release, that it is why I'm hoping that La-La Land will produce a complete version of it someday. Surely, the unofficial release in lossless sounds awesome. Lots of brass in this score and very enjoying action score. One of it's kind!
La-La Land, release this in complete edition now!!!!!!

It seems that LaLaLand is going to carry out our wishes for an official expanded score!!!! Truly nice work LaLaLand Records!! Bravo!!
What do you mean "Harry isn't anymore part of the Remote Control team"? Does he have his own studio now? Why?

It's true, Gregson-Williams isn't part of Zimmer's team, I don't know why he left or why isn't he part of the RC team but he is still good friends with Zimmer. And he has his own studio; Wavecrest Music.
That's definitely true for Zimmer's current team. But in the 90's (when his studio was still called Media Ventures) Zimmer's "pupils" wrote just as great and exciting scores as the big man himself. And more importantly, while using the MV style, they still managed to have a sound of their own. I could easily tell the difference between a score by Gregson-Williams or Mancina. Or one by Powell or Rona. Or one by Badelt or Glennie-Smith. Now I can't tell apart the styles of Jablonsky, Djawadi or Orvarsson.
I think we shouldn't make the mistake of placing Zimmer and his team at the same level. Zimmer scores, although they aren't all great, have an overall quality that Steve Jablonsky's or Ramin Djawadi's cannot reach.
I always wondered if Greenaway wrote more cues (not only Devoe's Revenge). I think he could have composed the smaller, more synthetic cues ; "I Need More Time" for example. But I also feel like he has a little influence on big tracks such as Chase or You Can't Stop This, too. It sounds like some parts of these cues were arranged by him.
This is own of my favorite scores. So that's why Harry Gregson-Williams is great. Because Hans taught everything he knows. Harry Gregson-Williams is my favorite film composer even in this movie was the choir and orchestra conductor. But I have to admit that Hans is better than Harry.
If it wasn't for Hans Zimmer, maybe the film music industry would be monotone and boring. HAIL ZIMMER!!! HAIL GREGSON-WILLIAMS!!!! AND HAIL REMOTE CONTROL PRODUCTIONS!!!!!!
Now don't get me wrong, I think Zimmer is a good composer. But it's because of RC that the film music industry is boring. All those scores sound the same, whether it's music for a film about giant robots or a film about Greek gods.
I want to get The 2CD peacemaker release. Where can I get it. We're said that legal offer is large. That's false. It's impossible to find the complete peacemaker anywhere. Hans, thanks for telling me what to do. Please
I'm one of the lucky few who own this great score! Mostly overlooked because the released score contains only a few tracks, and their out of order. The cd contains the best tracks, and it contains the tracks Gavin Greenaway did (Devoe's Revenge can be find on the regular release) Some tracks reminded me of Crimson Tide. One of Zimmer's best scores!
Would someone point me toward a CD that contains the classical music in "12. Piano Teacher"? I'm crazy about and I'd like to know the title and author, so that I can buy it!
You know, I don't know how you're doing Hans but whatever you do, just keep rocking hard as you do all the time man. As I always say, only Hans can score this genre right, trust me. ;-)
Please Antas, where can I find those " recording sessions" I have the official release but i would like also to have this one. this soundtrack is outstanding.
