Composer: Hans Zimmer.
For the second PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN film, director Gore Verbinski breaks out the big guns, both visually and sonically, bolstering the adventure movie's sound with a bold orchestral score by veteran composer Hans Zimmer. The opening track, "Jack Sparrow," captures the essence of the dynamic character (given a gleeful eccentricity on screen by Johnny Depp), moving from a lighthearted intro to vibrant string passages that evoke Sparrow's swashbuckling side, while "The Kraken" revels in a deeply ominous atmosphere. The album closes, oddly enough, with a propulsive techno remix of "He's a Pirate" by renowned electronica artist Tiesto.
