Review

Let's skip all these pop songs. Sadly, there are only two score tracks on this CD. 

“Live Goes On” is a delightful, moving piece, and a typical non-action Zimmer composition. Diversely orchestrated.

“The Final Game” is an ingenious piece that mixes various musical styles, mostly Jazz. Zimmer even quotes a few notes directly from Beethoven's 5th symphony when he builds up an extremely powerful, driving theme. It's seldom to hear Zimmer that playful and unrestricted. Pure fun. 

This CD can be recommended for just 16 minutes of score.
