Sweepers, drops and pulses abound, it maintains its hybrid style for a relentless adrenalin fuelled attack of drama, tension and grandiose intrigue.

Orchestral track on a voyage of discovery, where the unexpected could be lurking around each corner. String ostinato keeps up the momentum while meandering and tense melodies from violins and choir search out a path to follow. Brass swells and rich horn and trombone lines add gravitas to an already dark and brooding atmosphere, forming a track that is steady paced but never really settled. Intriguing.

Dramatic orchestral hybrid. Epic percussion, soaring strings and aggressive brass combine for a theme that's as mysterious as it is glorious. A delicate midsection of keyboard, strings and textures provides a serene contrast and a vehicle to build the music to its intense climax of percussive hits, string runs and fast brass passages. Subtly finished with a light arpeggiated piano theme, it's a dynamically diverse piece covering many moods, but always within the realm of intense cinematic action.

Enchanting orchestral piece. A calm and relaxing piano intro builds through light strings and brass into a fairytale of regal elegance, further enhanced by the spirited glockenspiel.

Grand and majestic with an adventurous, action filled undertone, it also hits the inspirational and awesome buttons.

Epic, without going over the top, and elegantly dynamic.

Slow building, cinematic orchestral piece. Immediately dramatic and intense, through single repeated piano notes and suspenseful violin harmonics, there's an ethnic edge in the instrumentation merging with strings and oboe as the piece turns darker with rich bass and dissonant textures. Ambient and brooding throughout with a tragic, heroic feel to the second half due to a sweeping string and brass melody accompanied by added timpani and rhythm, it remains a calm yet slightly unsettling piece with outstanding tension.

There's big, there's bigger, and then there's this.

Like the sun bursting through at the break of dawn, or the day turning into night at dusk, it's an epic, cinematic track of transformation that evolves in power and dynamics. Building from gentle, tension filled string ostinato and simple brass themes to an ever increasing wall of sound through sweeping legatos, angelic choirs and heroic horns, it never loses its sense of majestic fantasy and glorious strength. Inspiring, confident and super powerful.

Starting off dramatic this soundtrack has a change of heart and shows the emotional side with story-telling strings and horns

If I say 'pirates' and you think 'Caribbean', then we both know where this is heading. With more than a passing reference to a certain well-known theme, it's every bit as swashbuckling, unleashing the full power of a cinematic orchestra and its percussive ensemble. Having said that, it does have slightly less seafaring tendencies and could easily lend itself to many other action settings from thrillers to adventure scenes, given its generally sterner feel. Epic stuff.
