That is right: Most Aoc Gold fans know Basil Poledouris' scores from Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. The first one in particular has had a big impact on what fans expect from the music in a Conan franchise - in the same way Schwarzenegger's version of the main character had on what Conan should look like. With no preconceptions I think most people would find Jason Momoa to be a very good choice for Conan in the new movie, but if you stray too far from expectations, people will react. Same thing with the music: Since preconceptions are there, you have to take them into consideration. At the same time, one of Funcom's goals has been to re-interpret the world of Conan based on the books of Robert E. Howard to get closer to the core of what Conan is all about. For me it was only natural and also important to re-invent the music to some degree as well. Certain cues in the game have apparent references to Poledouris, but instead of using him as the source of inspiration, I found it more fruitful to draw on the same influences as Poledouris did: Medieval music, Russian vocal and orchestral music, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana and other similar works. So instead of evolving from Poledouris, we have evolved from the same point further back. Who is the man and who is the chimp is for someone else to decide.
