PIRATES
OF THE
CARIBBEAN
Dead
Man’s
Chest
- Soundtrack
From
the
very
first
entry
of the
strings,
the
humourous
slant
of the
film
is exposed,
but
then
slides
into
a more
foreboding
lull
of pomp,
romp
and
an Irish
flavoured
folk
groove,
summing
the
movie
up in
a single
track
with
this
interesting,
innovative
and
highly
listenable
ensemble
of orchestral
flavours.
The
opening
track
is called
Jack
Sparrow,
hence
its
quirkiness.
Victorious,
adventurous
and
epic
clash
together
by the
second
track
(The
Krakan),
and
already
you
feel
as if
its
run
the
whole
gamut,
the
orchestra
even
modernized
half
way
through
with
a male
choral
layer
and
Phantom
Of The
Opera-styled
church
organ
adding
more
gusto.
The
quirkiness
continues
with
the
percussive
drive
of Dinner
Is Served,
which
slides
into
a waltz
towards
the
end.
To accomplish
something
this
far-reaching
and
diverse
has
to be
laid
in the
hands
of a
master,
and
that
Hans
Zimmer
certainly
is.
The
track
dedicated
to Davey
Jones
creeps
up like
a King
Diamond
song,
with
its
slow
music
box
tinkering
building
up into
a more
dangerous
warning.
Two
Hornpipes
(Tortuga)
is
a brief
tavern-style
folk
ditty.
The
moods
layered
into
Zimmer’s
cues
are
bold
and
invigourating.
In order
to get
more
than
the
soundtrack
aficionados
excited,
the
youngsters
(and
clubbers)
are
also
catered
for
by the
addition
of a
DJ
Tiësto
remix
(He’s
A Pirate).
