I used to own the original CD as well as this re-mastered CD. The re-mastering is very good, bringing out subtle sounds that the melody and bass used to overpower. The interview is a nice bonus too. On a side note, I still prefer the actual score because it is used in the excellent TV show, "Iron Chef."

This is one of the greatest movie scores ever produced. It is Hans Zimmer at his finest. The music is evil and mysterious at times, but still manages to tell its story. Burn It All (track 6) is my personal favorite. I don't see why everybody doesn't like the two tracks by Bruce Hornsby, because I have grown to like them. I would definitally recommend this CD for purchase if you have seen the movie Backdraft or just like instrumental music. 5 stars!

This soundtrack is much like the previous version, which has all original pieces, just not the bonus interview with Hans Zimmer. My favorite of course is still "the show goes on"

The CD I ordered came in pristine shape and very quickly. I have loved Backdraft since it first came out. I can't believe it has been 25 years! I don't remember getting that much older! Great movie, great music.

Backdraft would be placed within Zimmer's top five greatest scores. The film has many themes but the main one first heard in track two is amazing. Many collectors love Zimmer and many are against him for his many ghost writers. I however believe he has great talent. This can be seen in his scoring for Backdraft. This CD offers plenty of score and it is mixed providing great transitions through the tracks. A definite item for any Zimmer fan to own.
