COMMUNITY REVIEWS

An Interstellar Score! submitted by DBJC on June 30, 2015, 1:20pm I have listened to just about all of Hans Zimmer's scores and many of them have been the epitome of my listening career (I speak about that as though it's a thing). The score itself sent chills up my back when I first heard "Dreaming of Crash" in the movie theater. The organ, the strong, major chord, the slight familiarity of 2001: A Space Odyssey are just a few things that I love about this score. As a space enthusiast, I was very interested in the music as soon as I heard it in the teaser trailer about a year before the movie premiered. I remember the simple organ that sounded like twinkling stars, the sense of wander as the scale moved upward and the music crescendoed. I remember looking up at the night sky, listening to this on repeat and hoping that one day I would be able to leave Earth. Maybe that won't happen, but the music definitely inspired me to believe that one day I will.

Like many of Hans Zimmer's scores, he's easily recognizable, not only for his artistic simplicity, but for his strong use of percussion. He doesn't use percussion in this score that often, but his use of lower tones is definitely heard in "Mountains" (which features during the scene when they're in the middle of water and are about to be eaten by a large wave that is mistaken for mountains), and "Detach." There is quite a bit of ambience in the score, so if you don't mind a bit of free-wandering music from time to time, I would recommend listening to the album from the first track to the last.
