"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"

Excellent

"This is a wonderful Zimmer collector's CD. Altough the artwork isn't very good, what's inside is really the important stuff. A CD that is worthing the listening from the first to the last second. I really recommend this to every single Zimmer fan. The fact that it contains previously unreleased material from Zimmer makes this CD one of the best on the market. This is really better than Good Morning America! A World Apart End Title is by far the best track. I really enjoy listening to it every time. And the whole CD as well."
