hmmmmm - NO I'm sorry, but this CD just didn't do it for me. I think the film is wonderful and the music in the film is elevated by the stunning imagery. Take away that visual feast and you are left with a non discript series of 2 minute noise. I don't hear any flow between tracks or indeed any real music within the tracks. My advice, enjoy the film forget the soundtrack.
If you want a really good soundtrack that stands on it own without the film, get Gladiator, Dune or Bladerunner.
Spellbinding As over-the-top and irresistable as the movie itself - sure it is more than a tad reminiscent of Elliot Goldenthal's score for 'Titus' (with a dash of Lisa Gerrard thrown in for good measure), but if the you're going to rip off someone, rip off the best. Vivid, vibrant and spellbinding this is one score not to miss.
Molôn labe! I feel what ever i write, it won't do this wonderful score justice. From powerful percussion based tracks like "come and get them" to sweeping haunting tracks like "goodbye my love" that get the hairs standing up on the back of your neck.The beautiful vocals and even the electic guitars, everything works well in this soundtrack. Turn off the lights, put headphones on, close your eyes and let yourself be taken back to ancient Greece. A true masterpiece.
thoroughly enjoyable! If you happen to like epic, dramatic sounding music and soundtracks, then chances are you will like this! Its a little like a cross between Globus and Lisa Gerrard, haunting and powerful. Works a treat with the movie as well! The big gripe I have with most movie soundtracks written especially for the movie is that I wouldnt really want to listen to them when not viewing the movie, however I cant say that about this one, which is why it gets five stars rather than four in my vote :)
