Actually the first album is composed by Klaus Badelt, score overproduced by Hans Zimmer...
And its Hans who made the music to both Gladiator and The DaVinci Code. Thats why the first sounds a bit different from the other two.
But some of the songs on DMC & AWE have a little of the first score in them...
Like the music we hear when Jack first appears, you get that in both I've got my eye on you(DMC) and Singapore(AWE). So there!😆
The tracks on the first are more similar to each other, than the tracks on the other two....
I have been listening to all three of them constantly since I saw AWE.
The thing that I don't like about the third album is that most of the tracks are too slow and long. I know its because of the mood in the scene, but listening to 10 minutes of the same slow paced music, is boring.
My favorites are Up is down, Hoist the colours, Singapore and Drink up me hearties. (on AWE)
But my all time favourite is The Medallion Calls, the song when Jack first appears, every time I hear that melody I see jack before me! Its GREAT!!
Oh boy I rambled on....!
