One thing to remember on Badelt and Zimmer - Hans Zimmer doesn't write his own music. He generally composes the basic themes and then has his school do the rest for him - if you note in the credits the "additional music by" columns, you'll see those poor souls who do the work and get no real credit. ^^ Badelt used to be one of Zimmer's students--it's always the game to guess which parts of which score were written by which guy.

I used to study these guys.

Was the church you went to in Florence San Marco? The one with the octagonal baptistry? *drool* Mmmm, Florence . . .
