I am a huge Hans Zimmer fan, he is the sole reason why I chose filmmaking as my profession. His music is some of the greatest stuff ever composed for film. This album is a set of 5 cues from Zimmer's early years when he worked at Lillie Yard Studio with his mentor at the time, Stanley Myers (The Deer Hunter). I own almost every single avialable Hans Zimmer score, but I bought this because these cues are impossible to find anywhere else. If you are interested at the roots of this brilliant composer then this is a must buy. Fools Of Fortune feels like an early development of themes in Gladiator, and A World Apart is the start of his African themes that would later become The Lion King and Tears Of The Sun. This is great early Zimmer. Here is a list of the cues on the CD with the film's title in parentheses along with the playing time. The album includes:
1. Suite (Burning Secret) - 23:59
2. My Beautiful Laundrette (My Beautiful Laundrette) - 4:00
3. The Fruit Machine (The Fruit Machine) - 20:08
4. End Title (A World Apart) - 4:55
5. The Island (Fools Of Fortune) - 17:57

It has only about 5 songs. I just got it only one of the songs is a tiple Zimmer. I guess the others were from earlier years and they have a different style. I like Hans Zimmer's Gladiator, and Last Samuri. Forget this one.

This is ok - but if you are a Zimmer fan and new to his music, there are better introductory albums. If you are an addict and well stocked already on his tracks, then this will, of course, be another essential addition to the collection.
