Album Description:
Epic, emotional and inventive describe the action drama 300 and also its score. Written and produced by Tyler Bates (Dawn of the Dead, Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects, and Slither), Music From The Motion Picture 300 boasts a sweeping palette, embracing a tonal foundation unfamiliar to studio films. Orchestral and choral, 300 features the haunting, exotic vocals of Azam Ali, featured in world music groups Niyaz and Vas. Special Edition Includes: Deluxe Packaging, 3 Two-Sided Trading Cards and 16 Page Full Color Booklet.

Listening to this soundtrack at full blast one often feels as if the Spartan and Persian forces are coming right at you, then ferociously pummeling your eardrums--and this is meant as a compliment. Tyler Bates's score is basically a modern update of the battle classic to end all battle classics: Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. On the opening cue 'To Victory,' Bates throws in everything he's got: powerful choral singing, massive percussion (you can almost feel the weight of those Japanese taiko drums), and of course an otherworldly female voice. All these elements are then parceled out over the following tracks, taking turns to dominate the cues, and sometimes coming together again in majestic shows of force--the music can sound absolutely humongous at times ('Submission,' 'Come and Get Them,' 'A God King Bleeds'). The most interesting development is the use throughout of electronic treatment; even when the technique is applied subtly, it's very efficient in adding a spooky dimension to the album's very sonic texture. And while you'd think an electric guitar would feel incongruous in a movie set in 480 BC, it actually injects a screaming sense of urgency into a track such as 'The Hot Gates.' As for that aforementioned female voice, it belongs to Iranian-born, L.A.-based Azam Ali (of the duo Vas), who makes essential contributions on tracks like 'Cursed by Beauty' and 'Goodbye My Love.' --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Rating:  - Seriously great soundtrack!
I loved the movie and I recalled the music being very cool. I bought the CD as I often like to write (novels) to the soundtracks of epic movies, puts me in the right frame of mind. This soundtrack has sweeping scores, but more than that the songs have a rock 'n roll edge to them, hard-driving, pulsing beats that capture the adrenaline-rush energy of the movie. It's a unique score in that it is orchestral but with a modern, cool edge that is energizing. For those of you who shy away from soundtracks, this will be a pleasant surprise. Rock on!!

Rating:  - Pretty good motivaitonal cd
Watching the movie got me extremely pumped up to workout. I bought this cd to listen to while in the gym. I'd have to say about 5-6 sougs out of the 25 made it to my ipod for motivation. That's not as high of a ratio as I would have liked. Most the songs are too slow and repetitive sounding. But the one's that made my workout list are butt kickers.
Rating: - incredible good music
Where im living ATM they wanned to sell me this item in over 40USD. I think it can be worth it but why would i pay that if Amazon has the item IN STOCK for the regular price. I ordered it and got it 3 days later.
The CD is in excelent conditions and just the presentation, and the book art is amazing. The music really drives you to the battle field and fill you with emotion or you can just sit back and enjoy the complexity of it.
Rating: - Awesome "300"
If you want to be entertained for 2 hours, and forget about everything except what you are viewing; This is your movie. I thought that Gerry was exceptional in POTP. All the effort and time he spend getting ready for this movie was not a waste or overdone. He made the impossible look possible.
May he be so successful in all his other movies.
Rating: - Fantastic Movie, Thrilling Soundtrack
If you loved the movie, you'll love the soundtrack. The music is artistic, great to listen to, and exciting at the same time!
