Talking to your folk, yep. You lost us. Good luck trying to reconnect
Harry’s coming in to do an interview on his process on Gladiator 2. This would be as part of the London Film Music Festival. All good but HGW is there with Howard fucking Shore. Harry is a bullshit artist. It’s nonsense for nonsense. Shore is NOT a bullshit artist. How does HGW survive?
Just saw it, tve score is great!! Dont know what the people dont like on it
Okay, Zimling stuff is shit and boring as balls: Trevor Jones:

Love that no one from HGW team bothered to show up to defend the dude. So bad. Feel sorry for Ridley and the rest, but man, HZ team – be ashamed of yourselves. Jesus. the Balfe rubbish at RHA but now this. Guys…..Follow this then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUx63Nri1Qo
lol shut up fag
Music is pleasant but completely unmemorable.
I find it similar to his Dawn of the Nugget score in that regard. It’s enjoyable enough to listen to and contains some nice variations on themes from the previous theme, but it only really comes alive when it’s directly quoting the previous film. But then, perhaps that’s ultimately appropriate given that the film itself suffers from the same issue.

Yes he did.
Harry didn’t record Gigi. In an interview with Ashton Gleckman on YouTube, he discussed hearing a track with Gigi in it and ultimate “sampled” her vocal for Arishat. The credit for it is what it is.
It’s weird that in the Ashton Gleckman interview Harry doesn’t even mention John Powell. They have cooperated on so many succesful scores! Antz (which they worked on together) came out in the same year that Endurance came out. Why act as if he found this vocal on a random spotify record while working on Gladiator 2? He obviously heard it coming out of John’s room 25 years ago as they had studios in the same building at the time.
Love the fact klaus Badelt is credited 🤣
