★ 原本只是迪士尼乐园游乐设施之ㄧ的「加勒比海盗」在亿万制片杰瑞布洛克海默的催生制作下，跃身成为迪士尼电影公司有史以来最卖座的电影—「神鬼奇航」系列，揭开新世纪影坛的海盗冒险传奇的首部曲《神鬼奇航：鬼盗船魔咒》在2003年上映后席卷全球超过6亿5000万美金票房， 电影音乐由德国影音创作尖兵克劳斯巴代特（Klaus Badelt/「康斯坦汀：驱魔神探」、「海神号」）担任音乐作曲，当代电影音乐钜子汉斯季默（Hans Zimmer/「神鬼战士」、「达文西密码」）挂帅制作。 ★ 「神鬼奇航」系列的主干音乐〈He`s A Pirate〉尽情的让电子乐与管弦乐交叠出一段在曲式上极为宏伟，壮阔且深具推进力的主题音乐，这段神采昂扬的乐曲每每在海盗冒险对战的场景中现身，一方面用来提升视频情节的张力指数，一方面则是在刺激观影者的亢奋因子。克劳斯、汉斯以及「遥控制作」电影音乐公司的影音创作精英份子，借由铜管乐、弦乐、号乐与电子乐营造一个庞大的动态音场，让这三者进行一轮又一轮的声响大战，为电影营造磅礡、澎湃、雷霆万钧的视听快感。本片原声带荣获美国作曲家/作家/出版家学会（ASCAP）2004年电影电视音乐奖最卖座电影奖，同时也在2004年的世界电影原声带大奖（World Soundtrack Awards）中入围年度最佳电影原声带项目。 The soundtrack for Pirates of the Caribbean was originally composed by Alan Silvestri, who left the project prior to the film's release. Credited to Klaus Badelt, a protégé of Hans Zimmer, it was hastily assembled at the last minute, resulting in a paint-by-numbers exercise in big studio fluff that required the work of several unnamed composers. Badelt and his mysterious co-conspirators have created a schizophrenic pastiche of Hollywood excess — much like the film itself — disguised as a traditional score. The swashbuckling is propelled by an instantly unmemorable — albeit rousing — motif that contains bits of every action score in existence. "Fog Bound" starts off with a sprightly Celtic flair before dissolving into a generic Jerry Bruckheimer wash of keyboard strings and synthetic flute patches. This is the case for much of the record, resulting in inspired flashes of creativity here and there.
