Intrada announces the 30th anniversary, two-CD set of Hans Zimmer's score for the 1995 political-action thriller Crimson Tide. Zimmer was truly flying high in his career by the mid-1990s. He had successfully made the jump from London to Hollywood and had just won an Academy AwardR for his score for The Lion King (1994). His sound was going through an evolution during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it was on Backdraft (1991) that Zimmer fully embraced meshing an orchestra with his trademark synthesizers. It was also the start of the "power anthem" for which Zimmer would become known. Crimson Tide marks the full maturing of this style that would continue to be heard most notably in The Rock (1996) and The Peacemaker (1997). Zimmer won a GRAMMYR for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television for Crimson Tide. The main theme of Crimson Tide is a signature power anthem that embodies heroism and bravura, and in this expanded presentation of the score one can fully appreciate how it's used throughout the narrative. The score is a master class in tension building. Zimmer utilizes atmospheric sounds to build a sonic tomb around the characters. Sounds resembling sonar, metallic colors and puffing woodwinds create sustained tension that slowly rises.
This new release features the complete 88-minute score, adding nearly a half hour of music to the program originally released on Hollywood Records. The extras include a demo of a short suite Zimmer and collaborator Steve Mazzaro prepared in 2014 to be performed live in concert.
The Hollywood Pictures film is a tense military thriller directed by Tony Scott and starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman, taking place almost entirely aboard a U.S. nuclear submarine. When communications with command are cut off during a potential nuclear crisis with Russia, the seasoned captain (Hackman) and his principled executive officer (Washington) clash over whether to launch nuclear missiles based on incomplete orders. Their escalating power struggle becomes a battle of wills.

INTRADA Special Collection。ハンス・ジマー作曲による1995年のポリティカル・アクション・スリラー『クリムゾン・タイド』の傑作スコアが30周年記念として、CD2枚組の完全盤でリリース！
トラックリスト1990年代半ば、ジマーのキャリアはまさに絶頂期にあった。ロンドンからハリウッドへの飛躍を成功させ、アカデミー賞Rを『ライオン・キング』（1994年）のスコアで受賞したばかりだった。1980年代後半から1990年代初頭にかけて、彼のサウンドは進化を遂げていた。『バックドラフト』（1991年）では、オーケストラと彼のトレードマークであるシンセサイザーを融合させる手法を完全に確立。同時に、後にジマーの代名詞となる「パワーアンセム」の始まりでもあった。『クリムゾン・タイド』はこのスタイルが完全に成熟した証であり、そのスタイルは『ザ・ロック』（1996年）や『ピースメーカー』（1997年）で最も顕著に聴かれることになる。ジマーは『クリムゾン・タイド』でグラミー賞R最優秀映画・テレビ音楽賞（インストゥルメンタル）を受賞した。
『クリムゾン・タイド』のメインテーマは、英雄性と勇壮さを体現した代表的なパワーアンセムであり、この拡張版スコアでは物語全体を通じたその使用法を余すところなく堪能できる。本作のスコアは緊張感構築の模範例だ。ジマーは雰囲気音を用いて登場人物たちを包み込む音響の牢獄を構築する。ソナーを思わせる音、金属的な色彩、息を吐くような木管楽器が持続的な緊張感を生み出し、ゆっくりと高まっていく。
このニューリリースには、88分間のフルスコアが収録されており、ハリウッド・レコードから当初発売されたプログラム約30分間の音楽が追加収録。ボーナスには、2014年にジマーと共同作業者のスティーブ・マッツァーロがコンサートでの生演奏用に準備した短い組曲のデモも収録されています。
ハリウッド・ピクチャーズ製作の本作は、トニー・スコット監督、デンゼル・ワシントンとジーン・ハックマン主演による緊迫の軍事スリラー。舞台はほぼ全編が米原子力潜水艦内。ロシアとの核危機発生時に司令部との通信が途絶え、ベテラン艦長（ハックマン）と信念を貫く副長（ワシントン）が、不完全な命令に基づく核ミサイル発射の是非を巡り対立する。両者の権力闘争は次第にエスカレートし、意志のぶつかり合いへと発展していく。
