A very detailed description of each track along with short sound clips can be found at Soundtrack.net
'Mulitple Jacks' sounds like great fun, I can see Johnny having some fun with this scene.
'I see Dead People In Boats' is just beautiful. I'm welling up just listening to it. :cry:

| 'Biker' Pirates keep Zimmer Busy By Tamara Conniff Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer sometimes talks to himself. Well, maybe more than sometimes -- especially when he's working on the epic score for the second "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel and comedic music for "The Simpsons Movie" at the same time. Zimmer says he likes using all his creative juices at once. He worked for five months with director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer on "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," which hits theaters May 25. Sequels often can be a creative trap for composers, who can fall into a rut, especially on a third film. Zimmer instead wrote 80 minutes of entirely new themes, including a 12-minute suite for the Orlando Bloom-Keira Knightley romance. "We were coming to the end of a trilogy, and everybody put in so much work," Zimmer says. "It just felt like the right thing to do -- to go and dig a little deeper and not just do the same thing. The story has evolved and the actors have evolved." He recorded with an 80-piece orchestra in Los Angeles and London. Perhaps inspired by Keith Richards' cameo in the film, Zimmer used the Rolling Stones as his muse and approached the music as if scoring a "biker" pirate movie. In fact, drummer Simon Phillips, of the Who and Toto fame, plays percussion. Advertisement The soundtrack to "At World's End" will be released May 22 on Walt Disney Records. |

I think this is the song 'At Wits End'...
The first part of the new love theme (Love Theme A) is heard here, softly on the strings as airy atmosphere encompasses the soundscape. Tremolo strings slowly play the countermelody as hints of a music box can be heard deep in the background. Now a darkened version of the secondary section of the Love Theme is played (Love Theme B ) on the low strings, and things fade down as new short-string ostinatos slowly start working towards the front. Love Theme A is now heard more heroically on the French horns (showcasing it's diversity for usage in different areas), and choir gently and ethereally takes over, with a dream-like siren quality to it, kind of like portions of The Da Vinci Code. Strings quickly swirl upwards to the main version of Love Theme B - high strings sing out while a darker and slower version of the love theme played beneath. It all ascends to a crescendo, then drops away leaving us with a snare roll and chime tolling coming in quick bursts.
Now a music box plays the Davy Jones theme as an organ plays a new countermelody on top of it. The organ slowly fades away, leaving just the music box, and then strings come in tenderly with Love Theme A as the music box changes hands and provides the backing texture. The orchestra rises back up, with a dramatic statement of the Davy Jones theme with triumphant hits and choir subtly beneath. It builds and heralds in a new action sequence.
Rhythmic ostinato in the low strings keep the pace going as French horns and brass build upwards, climaxing in a burst of choir. Dissonant strings swirl around as choir chants, and now the strings continue their ostinato as a new descending brass motif is heard ascending through the musical range (for the sake of consistency, we'll refer to this as the "World's Edge Theme"). It carries over into the strings as the choir builds, the tension is ratcheted up and everything comes to a crashing conclusion.

It's just opened okay for me. Maybe there was a glitch at their end. :huh:
Give it another try and if it doesn't work, I'll reupload it.
