Thoughts About The Music Itself: Great
While this one is often overshadowed by the original Conan The Barbarian score, I still think it deserves more attention. However, I think it is a bit less memorable than the former. The Main Title is truly amazing but many other tracks just do not reach the memorable note of Conan The Barbarian. In fact the movie even re-uses many compositions from the first. So in comparison this one here almost feels like a b-side collection of the first excluding the often used Main Title. Even the playlength is only a bit over 30minutes.
Noise: Low
Brickwalling & Clipping: None
Clicking, Crackling & Other Audio Stream Errors: Few
Mastering In General: Very Good
I was similary surprised by this as I was by the Conan The Barbarian 2012 remaster. For the fact these recordings are from 1984, they sound surprisingly clean and good. Some more silent segments have a bit of noise but this is normal for the age of it. What is weird is, that nobody was credited for the 1992 CD remastering. The original soundtrack was obviously only on vinyl. Whoever it was, did a really good job. That or the recordings were that good to begin with.
Final Verdict Audiophidelity: 8.5/10
How Enjoyable The Music Is In General: 8/10
