    Whatever happens the score will be good at least. I just hope the 3rd can maintain the 2nds darker tone

    Powell's not mentioned in that article at all…but I think we can assume he will indeed be back.

    Didn't konw where else to post it…
    On YouTube, you can already listen to two tracks from Powell's "Pan" score, "Cable Car" and "Ship Fight".

    @Edmund Meinerts
    Too Dark And "European"? What the hell is wrong with producers nowadays?!!!!!!

    If Po Finds the Truth is really Powell (or mostly him) then, wow….did Zimmer do anything on KFP2? I always thought the middle at least sounded like 100% Hans. "A funny world we live in", to quote The Joker…. :P

    Does anybody know if the choir in Flying with Mother is signing anything in particular or is it just wordless singing?
