Comments
The Battle evokes the feeling of the Killing Fields soundtrack - the dramatic swings and orchestra almost on the verge of disharmony, but holding it all together... Lisa Gerrard's vocals are as haunting as ever... all in all, a good soundtrack, though some of the short tracks were a bit frustrating - they felt like they could have been longer. Also, bits of Barbarian Horde sound a bit like Vangelis' Conquest of Paradise...
