In celebration of the success of the motion picture 300, Warner Bros. Records will release "300: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - The Collector's Edition" to coincide with the DVD on July 31. The limited edition will include three unreleased tracks from the movie -- "First Battle Push," "One Wild Night," "Blood Drunk," and Philip Steir's "Sacrifice to Sparta" of "To Victory" Remix. The CD will be encased in a 42-page color hardbound book with epic scenes from the film and a personal commentary from composer, Tyler Bates.
I listened to some of the clips from this release on Itunes. Wagner and Germany in the 1930's comes to mind. Not simply from some simplistic point of view but from the point of appeal to some fundamental thing in western culture. Does this movie appeal to some need for myth that we all share. Does it relate to the current struggle between the West and Iran, the descendants of the Persians. The Greeks fought for the freedom of their world. We fight for the values of the modern age.
