First of all, the title of the release should be "More Music from and INSPIRED BY" instead of simply "More Music from". It is because most of the tracks featured are not used in the final cut. They are either demo version, variations, or simply recorded but not used. Zimmer wrote a lengthy liner note about each track. The tracks that stand out the most are "Dudak of the North", "Home Coming", "Rome Is the Light", and the 2 versions of "Now We Are Free", music for the final scene. "Dudak of the North" has a sensational Spanish guitar motif (no heard in the first release). It reminds me of his another recent score Mission: Impossible II. "Home Coming" is the before mentioned missing music of the escape scene. "Rome Is the Light" is a fresh tune (not used in film) from Lisa Gerard. I like the original "Now We Are Free" so the 2 versions of it are real treats. The first one (rejected by Ridley Scoot) is very rhythmic and has strong African accent. It's definitely Zimmer's influence as it has the tone of Zimmer's The Power of One. It no doubt sounds very different from the final version. The second version is simply a techno version. It is surprisingly not annoying but rather enjoyable. Oh yeah, the exotic North African music is included. But it lasts only 44 seconds and barely worth mentioning. Second of all, there are many dialogues over music here. Something that has plagued soundtrack releases in recent years. From the liner notes, it seems the dialogue stuff is Zimmer's idea! They are not terribly annoying. They only appear briefly in low key moments. Some of them are actually well placed, for example, the speech Maximus gave in the first battle scene mixed very well in "The Gladiator Waltz", the demo version of track 3 "The Battle" of the 1st release.
