Product description

CD > POPULAR MUSIC > MOVIE SOUNDTRACK

Amazon.com

After the success of Gladiator, it wasn't unusual to see director Ridley Scott turn to Hans Zimmer again for the score to Black Hawk Down, his fierce adaptation of Mark Bowden's account of the tragic 1993 American military intervention in Somalia. 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

Excellent Match - Ridley Scott & Hans Zimmer!

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2010

Verified Purchase

- Bought this for the gym and also when I'm on travel, plus, I just updated my Music Play-lists, as well as just got my new iPod (4 X'mas) early this year.
I'm a huge fan of both Ridley Scott and Hans Zimmer ... both are geniuses at their own Craft, with one interpreting the finer aspects of Life & Fantasy on Celluloid: Drama, Action, Fiction, History, & more; with the Other, creating the film's overall 'Movement' if you will, resulting in an emotion-packed, roller-coaster of a ride, that leaves you hungry for more ...
There's about 6 or 7 Tracks on this CD that I added to my New Play-list, and I'll seal the CD and save it & store it as a "Master", in case I need it in the future.

My Ridley's favorites are: The Alien Series, Blade Runner (probably most favorite), Hannibel, GI Jane, Gladiator, to Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, to the current Robin Hood.
Each film displaying the unique directorial range of a filmmaker who has, in the past, become categorized as a genre director, however, thorough my years as a popcorn critic, I have seen something larger than himself, as contained within the fabric of his very Cool Americana cinematic stories, and that is that, Ridley, as Merlin, at times, taps into something Primal in Men (ok a few women too) - and that is ... our need to fight against those who would oppress us.

Ridley also seems to always surround his film-making bubble, with other outstanding genius-artisans, like Hans Zimmer, an impresario of pure sound magic, that has a way of combining musical Elements, Textures & combination's, to produce Something That We have Never Heard Before ... and that's what I like best ... to experience something new and uniquely different & Interesting, ... that interrupts my daily routines ... and gives me a boost, depending on the mood.

- My other Soundtrack favorites (not all-inclusive): Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings soundtracks and Star Wars - The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Special Edition): John Williams, London Symphony Orchestra & the GodFather Series.

I purchased this album to grow my Zimmer collection. I didn't think Black Hawk Down was that phenomenal of a movie, but I loved the soundtrack. I think I've played this sound track over a dozen times, and it never gets old. Mix this soundtrack up with 'Tears of The Sun' soundtrack. You'll have an interesting day. If you're a fan of Hans Zimmer or Black Hawk Down. Pick this soundtrack up. It is worth the time, and money to listen to.

It's Got the Spirit

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2002

So often sountracks have little to do with the spirit and context of a movie. They can be listened to without evoking any memory of their movie. The BHD soundtrack jerks you right back to helicopters driving over a hot and dusty African city, to the anger and violence of Somalian gunmen, and to the bravery and detemination of the Rangers.
I have heard "The Minstral Boy" many times by many performers, but this gritty version meshes perfectly with BHD.
It's a keeper.

I have seen Black Hawk Down at least three times and loved it.The thing is I didn't realise the music was so bloody good till my son played it on a visit to my home, I don't even remember hearing it which just goes to show the film makers got it so right for the film.!!!. I got a copy of him and as soon as I heard the whole cd I bought one of my own. Fabulous, eerie, heartwrenching,and I expect to have to buy another because I don't know how long a cd lasts but I can see this one being worn out. Thank you Hans Zimmer

Item better than described, excellent quality

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I liked the movie and certainly like the music. Hans Zimmer does excellent work on all his scores and this is a great example of the racing themes of Black Hawk Down. Without the music, the movie would have lost a good deal, but this score adds a whole lot to every scene.

I also liked the story board depictions on the inside of the cover sleeve. Cool touch.

CD was OK but the contents were a mess

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

I'm not going to complain too much as I got this for about £1.50.

The CD is perfect no marks on the surface but some slight bubbles on the label which makes me think it was kept in a hot environment maybe.

The main complaint is the sleeve and inlay. I think this CD was dropped in a sink or got wet. The booklet was stuck together and the inlay is all wavy like it's got wet and then dried out again.

I've bought quite a few CD's from Music Magpie (usually with good results) but this one was a mess I'm afraid.

I've managed to steam it apart but it was badly stuck together (now I think about it maybe someone dropped coffee on it! lol).

Going to remake my own booklet and inlay and put it in a fresh SuperJewelCase.

Another great soundtrack, but a rewarding listen too!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

I rate this film very highly and bought the DVD years ago. I remember sitting in the cinema and thinking this was the first combat film where it really felt like you are beside the soldiers, in the middle of the battle. This creates a "real" sense of danger and an appreciation of what it's like for those who risk their lives as part of their job.
The sound track was also very good and helped create the right mood and the clash of cultures. This was a deliberate aim. A sense of being in another, unfamiliar place, with different values and perspectives. So having recently purchased another Hans Zimmer soundtrack I decided to buy this one too. Importantly I think it works very well as a stand alone CD just to listen to. Of course knowing the film well the music naturally reconnects me with the story and visual images.
Musically it's quite varied with lots of unfamiliar styles, reflecting that part of the world. So anybody that is open minded to musical diversity should be rewarded. It makes a change from typical song based musical purchases, because the purpose of the music is about helping to tell the story, setting the mood and location and situations.
Even if you haven't seen the film, this CD can still take you on a musical journey.

A little disappointed

This CD was a little disappointing as I didn't realise it has the background music from the film rather than the well known songs. Luckily my partner still likes it as he says it's great to listen to when he's working from home but a did feel a little short changed.
