Conan the Barbarian (2011) Movie Suite

Conan the Barabrian 2011 Suite

Music by Tyler Bates

Certainly, this recent re-make cannot be accused of being anything other than an action adventure yarn, so when Mr. Bates penned the music he stayed to the tried and true formula. Plenty of percussion, plenty of brass and a spattering of choral voices along with a little synthesizer for some good measure. Shake it up (or stir) and we're left with this movie suite, our first from Mr. Bates, who is known for his scores to: 300 and Watchmen, among many others. This music really grows on you. Of course you have to give some measure of leeway, although it helps to have seen the movie to associate what it is about. With a timing of 24:02, I think you'll enjoy.  -MJ

Adventures of Conan Suite

Music by Basil Poledouris

I know what you're thinking. This music is not from a motion picture, so it is not a movie suite.

Okay, I know, but it was written by Mr. Poledouris after he scored the movies and the themes presented here are so similar that they can be considered to be an extension of the original music written for the Conan movies. Orchestrally this music is pulsing and rousing with attitude just like both of the first two suites so if you'll allow me some latitude, I've made some minor changes and offer this as the last and final installment for all the lovers of the Conan Trilogy. At least until someone does a remake. I certainly hope that you enjoy! -MJ

Conan The Destroyer Suite

Music by Basil Poledouris

Okay, the sequel is not nearly as compelling as the first movie, but the music contains so many similar themes and passages that to listen to one and not the other is just a shame. I always enjoyed this and now since the CD is virtually impossible to find at any price you should certainly add this to your collection. This music was ripped from a pristine vinyl record (remember those?) and lovingly processed by myself, so there is a certain warmth that you won't find from a digital master, but there is a slight remnant of hiss. Sorry about that.

Anyways, I hope that you enjoy my second installment in the Conan Trilogy. Huh? Did I say trilogy? Sure did. Stay tuned for the final Conan movie suite coming here in the near future.  Thanks for visiting. - MJ

Conan The Barbarian Suite

Conan The Barbarian Suite

Music by Basil Poledouris

Considered by many to be the single best movie soundtrack ever composed for a motion picture, the late, great Basil Poledouris pulled out all the stops for Dino DeLaurentis's Conan.

The Anvil of Crom theme leaps out at you while the Riddle of Steel theme keeps us guessing about what's yet to come. The action sequences are literally gut wrenching while the swirling of the string sections are surreal in all the romantic places. If you have never listened to this music, you'll be swept away by it. Of course, if you've been a fan since the movie was released as I am, then this Movie Suite will fill the bill. Next time, we'll revisit Mr. Poledouris as we return with the sequel. -MJ
