Has anyone heard the new Age of Conan soundtrack? Kickass! Reminds me more of Hans Zimmers Gladiator than Conan especially the movie soundtrack. What are your thoughts?

Haven't heard it yet. Who is the composer?

Knut Avenstroup... hmm Ive never heard of him. Sounds northern european. The music is great but not really conan though.

You mean "not really Poledouris"?

Thats right. Were so used to the Basil P score that we have a notion of what Conan should be. The female choral pieces dont make me want to splatter picts and steal Zamoran gold however.

Great soundtrack! We all love Basil and are used to a certain canon of Conan music, but imo Knut's music really stands its ground. Definietly more exotic, reminds me of 1001 nights. Highly recommended!

Knut Avenstroup... Sounds norwegian to me. Wouldn't surprise me either since the game was made bu funcom, which is based in Norway.. I liked the music too. Too bad I didn't have time to countinue playing the game
