Free Music Friday: Basil Poledouris

I'm just sneaking this one in on Friday... barely.

If you've never heard Basil Poledouris' score for Conan The Barbarian, then run out now and buy it. One of my favorite scores from the 80's, it is primal and bombastic music that appropriately represents a fictitious pre-history filled with sword and sorcery.

Unfortunately, Basil's web site doesn't contain any samples from that score or the sequel (or Robocop either) but it does have many more that provide a decent overview of his career. Highlights include The Hunt For Red October, Red Dawn and Starship Troopers.

Check out his music and leave me a comment letting me know what you think.

Enjoy!
