Prologue (W/Narration)/Anvil Of Crom 3:39 Review: The definitive version - This is THE definitive version of the soundtrack for the ORIGINAL and BEST Conan movie. Just as critics said that the movie, while free and easy with the source material, got the spirit of Howard's writing and the titular character bang-on, the sweeping, majestic score from Basil Poledouris perfectly conveyed the swagger, strength, and high adventure of Conan and the brutal, dazzling landscapes of Hyboria. This movie stands as a testament that a good soundtrack can make an otherwise adequate movie great. Without this monumental score, the movie falls flat on its face and joins the ranks of the dime-a-dozen sword and sorcery movies from the 70's and 80's. As for this particular version, it's the one Conan fans have been waiting for. Every single musical note heard in the movie is here, as well as some other treats. Other editions of the soundtrack have come and gone. There was one available as an import, which had more material than the bare-bones soundtrack available here in the US, but it was hard to find, and still incomplete. For those who have been waiting, we finally have the Renaissance piece that played during the infiltration in the tower of Set. So complete is this album, you even have the odd, unsettling chanting going on in the background when Conan first meets Valeria. Also present are some discarded numbers that Poledouris resurrected for the "Conan the Destroyer" soundtrack. So, in essence, this album contains the complete score from both of Arnold's Conan movies. Again, every musical note you hear in Conan the Barbarian is on this album. As an added bonus, there are some outtakes and earlier versions of the score, some with different instrumentations. All this would be only a curiosity if the re-mastering were sub-par or drastically altered from the original. Typically, I find "re-mastered" to be code for "We wanted more money, so we changed the mix to be different from what you remember. It's compressed and inferior. But Hey! It's RE-MASTERED!" Not so here. Those audiophiles who noticed the low-fidelity of the original soundtrack recordings will be thrilled with the quality of this release. The lo-fi noise is gone, but not the richness of the instruments. Indeed, the quality of the sound is superb, and the re-mastering stays very true to the original. So while they have drastically improved the sound quality, they have not monkeyed with the mix just for the sake of change. This is a superb album, and without question the only soundtrack of Conan the Barbarian anyone needs. Review: A legendary score finally gets its proper treatment - I won’t bother going into the merits of the score itself. If you are reading this review, you probably already know this score is simply one of the greatest in cinema history. After nearly a two decade search, the master session tapes were located and now film music fans can rejoice. Finally, with this release we are able to hear every note recorded including source music and alternate takes. My previous copy was the rare Varese CD which I have listened to so much, I know every nuance of every note in the performances. This is part of the reason I was never really interested in the re-recording that came out a little while ago. Anything less than the original recording just didn’t sound right to me. Even if the fidelity was less than optimal, just the fact the composer himself conducted made the original the final word. Now we get the best of both worlds, the classic performance in excellent sound quality. The tapes have been remixed for this release but there is nothing that stands out as sounding “different” other than the new level of clarity and depth. Producers Fake and Tarantino have done a great job and clearly handled this project with loving care. The only thing that is slightly different is that “Warpaint” crossfades into “The Kitchen” exactly like it does in the film. On the Varese release “The Kitchen” did not fade in, which I prefer, so If you have the Varese release and are insane like me, you may want to hold on to it. The new previously unreleased pieces are varied but mostly excellent. Some of the best are “Pit Fights”, “The Snake/Infidels”, and “Battle of the Mounds part II”. Others such as “Warm Welcome”, “Wolf Witch”, “Hopefuls at the Tower”, “The Hall of King Osric” are primarily atmospheric in the context of the film and while they are certainly interesting and welcome by completists, are dreadfully repetitive and not exactly repeat listening material. The third disc of the original MCA release is a nice bonus and worth having if only to have the version of “Anvil of Crom” without the prologue. I highly recommend this release for all fans of great movie music. It’s a shame that Poledouris never got to see his complete masterpiece given this deluxe treatment, but the music will live on forever . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ADW4I9O | | Best Sellers Rank | #339,193 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #6,924 in Movie Soundtracks (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (806) | | Date First Available | November 27, 2012 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | MAF 7123 | | Label | Intrada | | Manufacturer | Intrada | | Number of discs | 3 | | Original Release Date | 2021 | | Package Dimensions | 5.63 x 4.96 x 0.94 inches; 7.2 ounces | ## Images ![Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ImEFicCAL.jpg) ![Conan the Barbarian Soundtrack - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jUdhDOAOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The definitive version *by G***E on December 31, 2013* This is THE definitive version of the soundtrack for the ORIGINAL and BEST Conan movie.
