Is there any other way to pay in Tadlow's web instead of PayPal?
Why don't you order through SAE?
Ordering through Tadlow is more convenient if you live in the UK - the postage will work out cheaper and it'll arrive faster because it's inland post.
Cheers

A W E S O M E ! ! !
There was a former Silva Screen Conan suite that opened with the prologue, and it included the searching version of Conan's theme (which would re-appear in Conan the Destroyer as "The Katta") before "Anvil of Crom." It would appear that the cue heard when Conan is practicing was the original version of the film's opening before it was decided to go with the familiar Seven Samurai homage.

I'm very happy about this amazing Conan and already ordered it!
For a while I got turned off to rerecordings because I bought a couple of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra recordings from Varese several years ago, which for me just didn't do it. And it seemed that re-recordings were becoming a big new trend for Varese. Several releases in a row that I would have loved to have came out as re-recordings. Back to the Future was probably the pinnacle of this disappointment for me, because being the holy grail for so many people, releasing a rerecording sampler seemed a bit of a slap in the face, and certainly didn't sound like the original tracks. This all just put in me a bad taste for re-recordings, and only recently have I begun trying them out again. A reimagination like Neil Norman on the other hand is absolutely his own thing, never intended to be a rerecording at all. An interesting, fun bit of listening.
I'm absolutely ok with alternate interpretations, and new recordings in general, just as long as it doesn't come at the expense of the original material being made available. This is clearly not the case here, and I'm very excited to hear Conan in its glorious new presentation. I also hope the Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein rerecording sees the light of day eventually as well!

I just watched that video clip in the opening post.
I almost want to cry. Riders of Doom IS, IMO, in the Top 5 best film music pieces ever written. I listen to this track nearly every day. To see and hear the new performance is truly amazing and it takes my breath away. I can't wait to hear it on CD with the choir mixed in.
Basil's writing on this score was so powerful - almost as if the Gods gave him their beauty and grace.
Luc Van de Ven, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine, all of you in the Prague Philharmonic, Zoe and Alexis... you've made this film score fan in Canada REAL proud, overjoyed, and overwhelmed with emotion. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. THIS is THE overdue, more than deserved tribute to one of the greatest composers to ever live, and it pulls at my heartstrings to see the amount of dedication, work and labor of love that went into this project. No doubt that everyone else who loves this music will be touched as well. This is THE monumental and most important release in film music history.
Basil would have been proud.

My brain was filling in the choir. Kinda scary.

My jaw hit the desk when I opened my email from SAE and saw a new complete 2-CD set of ‘Conan the Barbarian’ being advertised. I was almost in shock. It took me a full minute to realize what I was looking at and click the link. My enthusiasm was momentarily lost when I saw it was a re-recording. Then I saw Nic Raine’s name attached and I knew it had to be good. I then clicked on the embedded video of the orchestra. Marvelous! Next I feverishly clicked each of the all to brief samples. Incredible! I have the expanded Varese album but this..this is something special. I must order this.
Some other re-recordings I think are as good or better than the originals:
Jason and the Argonaughts (conducted by Bruce Broughton)
The Last of the Mohicans (conducted by Joel McNeely)
Raise the Titanic (conducted by Nic Raine)
King Kong (conducted by William J. Stromberg)
7th Voyage of Sinbad (conducted by Joel McNeely)
Vertigo (conducted by McNeely)
Obsession (conducted by Herrmann)
