I was planning on picking this one up by Nick Glennie-Smith. Has anyone heard it yet? Is it worth $14.99?Thanks,
Mark.

Yes I've heard it. I like it. It sounds a little better on CD than it did in the movie, I guess the movie had a poor dub.
The music sounds like Gladiator a bit, but not much. And most of it is fully orchestral with a choir and very epic sounding. I think its just as good as Man in the Iron Mask. Its pretty long too a little over 74min!Right-click and choose save as here for a suite of Nick Gleenie-Smith's score to Attila - 4mb

Sounds like anybody who's a fan of The Rock or Man in the Iron Mask would absolutely love this one. I'm definitely picking it up.

...though Tim, I don't really hear the Gladiator element. Nick Glennie-Smith comes from the Zimmer mold - his style is definitely a reflection of that influence.Gladiator's action/battle theme is nothing more than a rehash of his previous works - the notes are different, sure - but the psychological impact is the same. That's fine. Just an observation, as I will admit - I enjoy most all of his rehashes (moreso than Horner's). Aside from the ethnic instrumentation implemented in parts of Glennie-Smith's score, I think it's more like a foreign sister to Man in the Iron Mask.

Mark, I saw a good portion of the TV movie on this and the score seemed not too bad. Parts of it were pretty good. John.

I was simply stating that I didn't hear the Gladiator element persay within the score. It's more like Nick Glennie-Smith's previous works, albeit the fact that Glennie-Smith's style is an extension of Zimmer's. The same could be said for Mancina as well.
