An exciting, magnificent score

Hans Zimmer's 100th !! Congratulations to all and thank you for the terrific music, to the now "The Last Samurai" their part.
First for Instrumentation: Room composed here one more time for large orchestra. The whole he supplemented by powerful percussions, traditional Japanese instruments a la Taiko drums, shakuhachi and koto and to more western elements such as Navajo song and room own Synthesizer game that is so subtly blended into the overall picture that one the presence of synths hardly notice. There are also other (sometimes huge) vocal passages, and solo strings and solo woodwinds.
What is now clear from this instrumentation, can not be mistaken. Room combines traditional Japanese elements with partly supported, partly huge orchestral passages to generate a once peaceful, sometimes quick-tempered, moody, melodic and often melancholy sound carpet. And so you do not lose too often in melancholia and / or reverie, he leaves at intervals with full force its massive percussions on the listener going on, and are really impressive: varied, perfectly timed and they sit with pinpoint accuracy. What resulted, among other things, that to me such a chill ran at the first hearing of track 8 ("Ronin") and 9 ("Red Warrior") on the back that I was frozen to death by a hair on my goose bumps ;-).
Ergo: room features here just 60 minutes and melancholy instrumental force combined with room-typical melodic leitmotifs that are perfectly timed and sound and just fantastic in the overall sound. Me personally bothers as the track as similar to "Thin Red Line" or "Pearl Harbor" very little.
A great experience of overwhelming splendor.
