Tom, based upon your excitement of this track, I picked up the TPM album
last night at the record store...
BLOWN AWAY by the music!!
It's Star Wars but not Star Wars. Almost a total reinvention -- but with
a few familiar old themes. Overall, an incredible mixture of operatic
sounds, horns, drums, and hints of the old west and ethereal sea adventures.
A lot of the album seems to be filler/background music, but I still have to
say I think it was well worth full retail price...
My favorite tracks...
02 Duel of the Fates
03 Anakin's Theme
05 The Droid Battle (second half of #05)
08 He Is the Chosen One
10 Passage Through the Planet Core
12 Panaka and the Queen's Protectors
14 Droid Invasion and Darth Maul
15 Qui-Gon's Noble {spoiler snipped}
16 The High Council Meeting and Qui-Gon's {spoiler snipped}
...but I think Duel of the Fates (and its reprise in 17 End Credits) is my
favorite overall.
This is going to be one wicked powerful movie!!!

p.s. Tickets [supposedly] go on sale tomorrow in the U.S.!

| (...) Say, does any else get visions of dark, dank dungeons with lots of candles, blood, vampires, and ritual sacrifices when listening to the operatic and drum-beating portions of this track? I think it's terrifically frightening... <8'U --Todd (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| (...) How similar is the rest of the cd when compared to Duel of the Fates? I wasn't terribly impressed with DotF, but with what everyone is saying, I want to listen to the cd. Maybe it is at some of the listening stations at record stores (anyone (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| Okay, for Ryan, who wants to "see" the music (which is not wholly incorrect when you close your eyes :) It reminds me a lot of Russian music. Excellent for a duel, fast-paced, a good choice of composition for a battle to decide the future for years (...) (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
