Product Description
CD Description
'The Rise of the Godslayer' soundtrack is the long awaited sequel to 'Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures' and again features a soundtrack by composer Avenstroup Haugen. Both the game and its music score have already received overwhelming praise and the game is topping the Games Charts across Europe and USA.
Now released as an audio CD with a bonus DVD, the entire soundtrack was composed, orchestrated and produced by Avenstroup Haugen. The delicious Far Eastern score features the distinguished Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, a huge taiko drum ensemble and world-class soloists renowned for their contributions on films such as Titanic, The Mission, Braveheart, Troy, The Mummy and Mulan.
The music was recorded in full 5.1 surround sound in the legendary AIR Lyndhurst Hall Studio, Angel Studios and Smecky Studios. In addition to the soundtrack CD, the package also includes a DVD with the original 5.1 surround mix of the music - including bonus tracks - playable on home theatre or other surround systems. Each track of the surround score is accompanied by a slideshow, featuring original concept art from Rise of the Godslayer. Most of this material has never been shown before. Also included are mp3 versions of all songs, a unique Bone Flute virtual item for use in-game, selected videos and trial client installers for the Age of Conan PC-game.
Personnel: City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Adam Klemens, Anthony Hinnigan (dizi, bawu, shakuhachi, quena), Wang Xiao (erhu), Cheng Yu (pipa), Sun Zhuo (guzheng), David Corkhill, Chris Terian & Cameron Sinclair (taiko drums, Chinese & Japanese percussion)

Good supplement to the Poledouris classic.

This is the soundtrack to a Conan game, but the composer has thoroughly studied the Poledouris masterpieces and echoes them in many of these selections. No real way to describe it other than sometimes it sounds like Poledouris riffs being played backward or in a minor key. Some tracks have an Asian flavor in keeping with the setting of the game. I enjoyed it immensely.
The extra disk has some little videos from the game set to the music. The artwork is very cool, especially the monsters.
Poledouris fans should check this out, as well as the Conan: Hyperborian Adventures that is similar. It will complete your Conan music collection.
