Review
This is the perfect music for adventuring. From vivid combat music to a sad love theme and powerful evil guy themes, this music is always perfect! It's one of Poledouris's best soundtracks, along with Conan the Destroyer (the other perfect music for adventuring!). The choir and the huge orchestra paint vividly what an adventuring world should be like.
