Imagine the soundtrack to The Lord of the Rings, but with grooving drums, stabbing brass and strings colliding in achingly beautiful dissonance – This is Fall of Troy.
Bio / Background
A Soundtrack without a movie...
Award-winning composer Gunnar Madsen was writing the music for a major video game, working with some of the giants of the gaming industry on a recreation of the Trojan War. In the final months of development, the production company went bankrupt, taking the uncompleted game with it. But the music - sweeping, moody, electrifying - was some of the most gorgeous work that Madsen had produced. He hated to let it go. So he decided that although there would be no video game, there would be a soundtrack CD.
This isn’t the first time Madsen has made lemonade from “lemony” situations. In 1997 he wrote and produced a collection of waltzes for chamber orchestra for a company that subsequently failed to issue the CD. Madsen then released the CD on his own label.

The songs are expressed with power and force~Listening is really like watching a action movie.

This music is excellent! Any song on this album would be more than efficient for a suspenseful movie. I'd buy the movie soundtrack in a heartbeat...even this entire album if it wasn't so darn close to Christmas. Stupendous!
