Days Of Thunder (Soundtrack) vinyl

The newly released Days of Thunder 2xLP offers Hans Zimmer's powerful score in full, marking its first vinyl appearance and promising a nostalgic, high-octane experience for Zimmer enthusiasts and film score collectors equally. Known for his synth-based rock style in the late 80s and early 90s, Zimmer's compositions here feature hard-hitting guitar solos, intense percussion and his signature keyboard textures, crafting a sound that emulates the thrill of NASCAR racing. Jeff Beck's electric guitar solos amplify the score's triumphant moments, while softer, new age-inspired sequences convey the film's emotional undercurrents. This expanded set includes six bonus tracks with alternate takes, as well as the rare rock arrangement of the main theme, presented on vibrant neon yellow vinyl. Housed in a gatefold jacket with iconic Days of Thunder film art and stills, this release will resonate with both dedicated Zimmer fans and vinyl aficionados, combining the composer's early hard-rock themes with film-specific innovations. Despite Zimmer's own critique of his work here, this collection captures the energetic and bold atmosphere that made Days of Thunder memorable and its vinyl debut provides a tangible, dynamic listening experience.
