Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 Soundtrack
 

Hi there!
As you may know, the Tracklist of the Pirates Of The Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest Soundtrack has just been released, and the most surprising thing is:
it contains a Trance Remix of He´s a Pirate (made by Tiesto)!
I have nothing against Trance, but I think it doesn´t fit in the orchestral, epic things that Hans Zimmer did!
To build your own opinion, you should listen to that Remix!

So long as the film's a lark, and the score contains a catchy theme or two (be it GHOSTWRITTEN, PLUNDERED, PLAGIARISED or SURGICALLY EXCISED), I don't care about the trance addition.

Edit: And now I remember why trance deters so many from electronic music.

It's not very good. I like some trance, but here, it looks like they just took the original song and added some noise over it.

Sounds terrible to me, all I hear is scratchy noise/bass and what I think is a faint tune of "He's a Pirate." Meh, it could be the low quality; I'm guessing it was recorded from a mpeg or something.

It was lossless recorded from a 96kb/s asf stream to a 96kb/s MP3!
It´s not the Quality, it´s the song!

:aargh: my ears!

I don't see how they are going to put this track in the film. Maybe the last song on the credits (the bit that no-one watches). I sure hope they don't play this at all though, i hate trance.

the only way I could see this being a part of the film at all, is if the plot of the second movie was some how a crossover with a tossed script for a shoddy cartoon version of the matrix.

this is probably just them helping out some guy who makes trance remixes get exposure whilst promoting the movie at the same time.

ouch... I had to turn it off halfway and listen to the original "He's a Pirate" and cry over what once was =(

I just hope the movie's still good and the rest of the soundtrack is more like what they had in the original than that bloody mess.
I still can't wait for PotC2 though... which probably goes without saying, since PotC was my favorite movie right after the three LotRs.

How is this at all like "He's A Pirate"?

I stopped listening before it got halfway through. The samples from the rest of the score sounded it pretty good though.

Why is this good.

Because like the other POTC, it'll be awesome. That was an awesome OST.

Yep, and I ignored it seeing as how I don't care for technical aspects of soudtracks, only whether they sound good in and out of the context of the film. POTC did this and therefore, I liked it.

Meh...I'll stick with the orchestrated stuff. This sounds like POTC on an acid trip...which would actually be pretty cool. :D

Wow, I can't believe they put this on the official soundtrack alongside the work of Hans Zimmer. It's not terrible, but it doesn't belong on the official soundtrack. In the samplings I've heard, you can hardly pick up the melody from "He's A Pirate," anyway.

Ah well. Rest of the music sounds great.

As much as I don't really care about what Christian Clemmensen over at Filmtracks thinks, I couldn't help but laugh at his review. It's so catty!

'I am a fascistic faggot.'

'I am an unprofessional faggot.'

'I am a conservative faggot.'

'I am a hypocritical faggot.'

While listening to 'Dinner is Served', I suddenly remembered what part of the movie it was from, and started laughing.

imho. i didn't enjoy this soundtrack as much as the first one.
some of the tracks had too much of the fantastical and not pirates feel to it.

I agree - it had to go with the movie though.


SPOILER:

...Which, if you've seen it, has a much darker and more dreary feel than the first. I didn't like it very much.

That He's a Pirate remix is even shittier than the crappy synth in the KH2 edition.

Says the soudtrack's already out.

I like the Kracken's theme as well as Jack's and Davy's themes.

I dunno I thought the soundtrack was lack luster from the first one. The first one was almost driven by the music like when barbossa chased after will turner on the interceptor.

The only tracks I thought were good in this one were the ones that were rehashed from the first movie.

Love the soundtrack for both movies..dont like that Trance remix though...Not a fan of trance to begin with and the sounds were just annoying in my opinion..

the original version of "he is a pirate" is way better than the trance remix. Perhaps its because of the fact that i never liked remixes. but that song totally dun sound like a pirates theme.

Anyway, i didnt really like the soundtrack. couldnt really find the main theme which i love most.

Try "Wheel of Fortune". He's A Pirate appears about one minute in.

I like the soundtrack, the song that really shines through to me is "The Kraken". Gotta love that organ.

Sian and I have a connection now. I love "The Kraken" track, the organs and the "chanting" on the song is awesome. Wicked I must say mate, wicked.

The organ is great. I also liked Davy Jones (where the organ reared it's head again), because of the shift between the eerie merry go round music in the beginning and the rather dark music for the rest of the track.

The organ scene (scene only, mind...I liked the organ music itself) pissed the hell out of me. It was just out of the blue, served no real purpose (other than making a passing reference to Captain Nemo from 20000 Leagues Under the Sea), and was plain lame in the context of the story. I mean, it was a nifty idea, but the execution made it come across as silly. It should have been a 'deleted scene' for the DVD.

This time around I really liked the bare string versions of the two main themes that cropped up from time to time. Overall, I enjoy the soundtrack, but I'm a bit bored of it since I played it for about a year in youth symphony; we played it overseas, so we had to practice the hell out of it.

In my opinion, Trance could have done a much better job at this remix if they'd have tried. The recording was scratchy, and i could hardly tell that it was "He's a Pirate".

I have listened to that remix 10 times and I still can't get to hear "He's a pirate" in that thing...

But, I have to say this soundtrack is better than the first in my opinion. Zimmer added some musical twists to the themes created by Badelt, which made them better. I'm not saying Badelt did a poor job, it's just that Zimmer really boosted the melodies in what Badelt wrote. Although, I can't deny that Zimmer always uses this "zimmer" style that surprisingly he didn't use in Batman BEgins and in Da Vinci Code.

Jack Sparrow theme is by far my favorite track on thsi soundtrack.
