My CD-R Trade
Composed by: Graeme Revell
Orchestrations by: Tim Simonee & Graeme Revell
(Someone registered the cd tracktitles on iTunes. Now this is the most accurate webpage out there about the rejected score.
This is a bootleg, and I assume it comes in no other format since Jerry Goldsmith's score was used for the film instead.)
The Inside Insert Says:
The Michael Crichton novel "Eaters Of The Dead" (never considered to be among this author's better work) was a much troubled production in it's big screen adaptation. In post-production, the film that would eventually transform into "The 13th Warrior" featured more chaotic disruptions, among them being legend composer Jerry Goldsmith replacing the score earlier created by Graeme Revell. The film's medieval surroundings and ethnic mix provided the perfect visuals for Revell's wide-ranging musical talents, with him suitably putting together a fantastic score. Opening with a strong melodic hero main theme, Revell's compositions then branch into many different styles and variations, soon getting more ghostly and darker. As expected by this composer, every musical instrument is explored, with vocals a strong presence (performed by Lisa Gerrard), in a symphonic soundtrack that is not afraid to be modern also. Balancing the line of what is musically acceptable and what works with the visuals, Graeme Revell's score is among his finest, thus a huge shame not to be used in the film. Though Jerry Goldsmith's score is technically better, Revell provides an interesting score worthy of the movie, and the final film probably proved to be no better or worse off critically, no matter what soundtrack was heard. A beautiful sounding CD, with incredible mastering of stereo channels; it's most ironic this unofficial soundtrack release is among this composer's longest CD releases!
