I'm going off-topic here but a discussion late last year completely changed my thinking and how I approach sound-alike stuff. There's a really great thread that everyone should read and it includes HZ's opinion on the topic. Some way down on page 2 Hans weighs in under the username RCTec. If you get the time read the whole thread. Much of it is noise but tucked in there is some real thought provoking content - http://www.vi-control.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22473 He responds a number of times through the rest of the thread.
It may not be as timely now he has openly stated he's moved on from the Inception/Dark Knight era but in general it's worth at least thinking about because the simple reality is that the names change but the same issue is played out daily in the media music world.
Anyhoo, it's all personal journeys.
Good luck!
wow that was a read. very interesting about the general thoughts of cheapening the value of music (i.e in this case HZ's) by its imiation not only in other scores but in library music high and low.
thanks for posting Rob!
