This week on Film Score Friday, we listen to the score from Conan the Barbarian. Basil Poledouris wrote the score from this 1982 film. The score is bombastic and loud. Which in this case matches the film perfectly. The playing the on the original recording is also less than stellar which is understandable given the budget of this film. Despite that, it's still fun to listen to. Brass paired with percussion are a common theme throughout the film. If you go in with the right expectation, you'll enjoy this.
