Conan the Barbarian (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

This early \'80s sword-and-steroids epic by writer/director John Milius is notable for making a bankable action-star of Arnold Schwarzenegger and cementing the reputation of film composer Basil Poledouris (Robocop, Hunt For Red October, Free Willy, Starship Troopers). A dream assignment for a young composer eager to showcase the range his skills, the lusty Conan score hearkens back to the \'30s heyday of Erich Wolfgang Korngold\'s unabashed Euro-classicism, but with enough modern rhythmic and percussive flourishes to satisfy the modern listener. Buyer beware--this music is not intended for rush hour commute listening, and Amazon.com will not be held liable for the carnage such exposure might inspire. --Jerry McCulley Product Description Basil Poledouris\' exciting score to Arnold Schwarzenegger\'s 1982 barbarian epic. 12 tracks. Warner Music. 2003.
