What was more surprising was the schedule Scott imposed on the German-born composer: 15 days to write, arrange, and record the film's nearly two hours of music. The results of Zimmer's miraculous two-week musical campaign not only belie those constraints; they instantly take their place alongside The Thin Red Line as some of the most compelling music he's produced. The gambit here is simple--portray the combatants as two warring tribes, with their native musics locked in a tense dance for domination. Yet the results are geometrically more complex and artistically rewarding, with thrash guitar and speed metal/hip-hop/martial rhythms encroaching on, then fusing with, the timeless indigenous music of North Africa to become something wholly other. Senegalese vocalist Baaba Maal contributes greatly, as do Algerian worldbeat artist Rachid Tara and the duet of Denez Prigent and Zimmer's Gladiator collaborator Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance). Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros' warm rendition of Thomas More's "Minstrel Boy" also underscores the military's brotherhood. But the real star here is Zimmer, who again takes his quest for "music he's never heard" to yet another rewarding plateau. --Jerry McCulley ░▒▓█ ▀ ▀ █▓▒░ ░▒▓█ █▓▒░ ▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀ ▄▄ ▄▄ █ █ ░▒▓███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████▓▒░ ░▒▓ ▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀ ▓▒░ ░▒▓ ▄▄ ▄▄ ▓▒░ ░▒▓ █ █ ▓▒░ ░▒▓ █ █ ▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █▓░ WHAT'S FAF? ░▓█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ ███████████████████ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ FAF releases are not about the quantity of releases, nor speed. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ FAF is strictly about Quality. How many times have you downloaded █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ that album you really wanted only to find out it pops and skips █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ throughout the entire rip. The ripper never bothered to listen to █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ his release or use good software. Well, we decided not to bitch █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ and do something about it. Any Audio Release you see from us █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ will be ripped with Exact Audio Copy (EAC) and encoded with █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ the LAME mp3 plugin for maximum compression quality █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ (it doesn't get any better than this, we've tested them all). █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ Unlike most other audio extracters EAC uses a "Secure" reading █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ method. This means that all audio sectors are read at least twice █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ (other ripping programs read it only one time). █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ When a read error occurs EAC will reread the audio data up to 82x █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ to get the correct data. EAC takes significantly longer to rip a █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ cd because of this precision, and that is the price we are █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ willing to pay to bring you the highest quality music. For people █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ wanting the best rips possible this is not a problem, but for █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ those others ripping and shipping so they can "win the race": █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ this program is not for you. The best thing about EAC is that █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ it's free and part of the open MP3 movement. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ We don't want to hide the technology we use, if anything we are █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ going to encourage you to use it. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ LEARN MORE ABOUT EAC HERE █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ http://www.ping.be/satcp/tutorials.htm █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ LEARN MORE ABOUT LAME HERE █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █▓░ WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ░▓█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ ███████████████████████████████ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ -Start by learning to use EAC and LAME. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ -Support your local music and club scene, after all when they █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ become famous you can tell your kids that you saw them in some █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ shitty club when they were nobodies. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ -Don't be afraid to question the way things are, █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ push the envelope. █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█│█ ▄ ▄ █│█▓▒░ ░▒▓█ ▀▀ ▀▀ █▓▒░ ░▒▓█ ▀ ▀ █▓▒░ ░▒▓█ █▓▒░ ▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀ ▄▄ ▄▄ ░▒▓█ █▓▒░ ░▒▓ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▓▒░ ░▒▓█ █▓▒░ ░▒▓ NFO BY: Bastard .............................Updated On: 11.04.2001 ▓▒░ ░▒▓▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▓▒░ █ █ █ █
