This is one of the greatest musical scores of all time. It stands shoulder to shoulder with Star Wars, Jurassic Park, E.T., The LOTR trilogy and The Good, Bad and the Ugly. Basil should be damn proud of what he accomplished.
Genius. Absolute genius. Morricone is also a true musical genius, but this movie was MEANT for Basil. Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of this incredible, moving soundtrack!!!
One of the greatest movie music composers completely capturing essence of the Conan the barbarian character and time. Excellent timeless music, thank u and R.I.P. Basil Poledouris!
You may not be here anymore, Basil Poledouris, but thank the heavens you gave us the music to Conan! You will continue to live on through your music...
Great interview, I only wish it was a Hour long! Basil wrote such beautifully unique scores, how I wish he was still with us writing more music for films. A brilliant composer, right alongside with Herrmann, Newman, Steiner, and Tiomkin.
OMG I always thought he was Greek or something! Anyway, I always love hearing composers speak about what inspired them because it's something you rarely get but it's fascinating since music is such an important part or the cinematic experience.
He was best friends with Jerry Goldsmith, they used to go see eachothers films together, Jerry even wrote the main theme of Total Recall sound like Anvil of Crom as an in-joke between him and Basil.
I had the great pleasure of working on publishing the full score book for this absolute masterpiece. I also had the pleasure of speaking at great length with Zoe P about her memories of Basil composing the score and her contribution to it. Without hesitation I would rank it amongst the top 10 film scores ever written.
This score tells a story a grand painful brutal journey , theres live , power , passion , friendship and loss all encompassed in one piece of music , truly masterful
Hans Zimmer is my favourite film composer BUT my all time favourite score is written by this man right here. Only basil can surpass basil!!!!! No offense Hansy
This is one of the greatest musical scores of all time.

The greatest movie score. R.I.P Basil.
In 2006 Basil Poledouris was called to answer the Riddle of Steel...He now sits right besides Crom in Valhala!
The greatest of all. The best movie soundtrack of all time. And "The Search" is sublime theme among them all. We miss you Basil.
My personal fav is Theology-Civilization, but the whole soundtrack is an absolutely masterpiece.
Funny enough Leaving/ The search is the one i constantly come back to. Amazing
The whole OST is a Masterpiece but i agree " The Search " is not from this earth
Genius. Absolute genius. Morricone is also a true musical genius, but this movie was MEANT for Basil. Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of this incredible, moving soundtrack!!!
The impact of this film's score on my life... I have no words to describe it. Thank you Basil, and RIP.
He is absolutely correct. Music carries the whole movie
Arguably one of the greatest movie scores ever written. It definitely takes the movie to a whole new level.
Best film score ever, RIP Basil
I can't picture this movie with a Morricone score. Poledouris is a great composer.
Maybe try listening to his score to Red Sonja, another Robert E. Howard adaptation. There are some similarities.
I wonder if John Williams could've written a score as good
@@swifty1969 different but also amazing for sure. But I a happy that Basil got the job
What a gift he gave to humanity. Bless his soul. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Basil Poledouris is the Greatest Piece of Man & Composer in Music on this Planet!
He was a master of his art!
The track 'Theology - Civilization' off the soundtrack is soooo good. What a legend!
Just the greatest soundtrack ever.
Killer score. Massive impact on not only other movies, but literally countless video games as well.
One of the greatest movie music composers completely capturing essence of the Conan the barbarian character and time. Excellent timeless music, thank u and R.I.P. Basil Poledouris!
True masterpiece, cannot imagine the movie without this perfect score, it carries the whole movie perfectly. Rip Basil
You may not be here anymore, Basil Poledouris, but thank the heavens you gave us the music to Conan! You will continue to live on through your music...

Greek parents.
He was best friends with Jerry Goldsmith, they used to go see eachothers films together, Jerry even wrote the main theme of Total Recall sound like Anvil of Crom as an in-joke between him and Basil.
I always wondered why the total recall theme was the most basil poledorus sounded score that basil didn't write.
By far Basil’s greatest score if not among the all time great scores for film. RIP maestro
This man was a genius!
This is the best movie score ever made
I've always wondered how this man went from being a red shirt extra on Star Trek to being one of the truly great composers of the 80s.
Wow thats awesome.

Rip basil... The one of the very few hwo could touch your soul with music.
GREATEST SCORE FOR A FILM, PERIOD
The opera feel makes so much sense. Thank you for uploading this. I wanted to know what his thinking behind this legendary soundtrack was.
my favorite soundtrack ever
Conan is the ultimate EPIC movie and this music is her soul
This movie was excellent becouse of excellent music just like star wars.
RIP sir
Funeral pyre music.Goes straight inside you.Powerful music,yet so sad,so haunting.
Grande gênio da música
Man, what a brilliant soul
what a great find....thanks for uploading! R.I.P. Basil- this soundtrack is legend
I wonder how much John's script influenced him. They seemed to be a perfect match. And perfect role for Arnie no doubt.
The Orgy piece sounds like it was inspired by Holst's "Jupiter, The Bringer Of Jollity" from his Planets Suite. Amazing score, overall!
fuck is tht it? we need more of this guy on that perfect score!!!!!
Βασίλης Πολυδούρης 21.8.1945 - 8.11.2006. Αθάνατος, αθάνατος, αθάνατος!
