Notes: This is mostly a score album by Hans Zimmer, with a lot of
punning in the title! The featured song for the film, however, was
by Moya Brennan of Clannad (and also Enya's sister). "Tell Me Now
(What You See)" is a fairly bland song, with some stirring,
soundtrack-like backing. The score is better than the song.
"King Arthur" was a not terribly well received 2004 historical
adventure film starring Clive Owen, Ioan Gruffudd and Keira
Knightley. It was directed by Antoine Fuqua and produced by
Bruckheimer. The album was originally released in 2004, although
details above are from a 2006 issue.
The previous year, Horn had worked on "Veronice
Guerin", another Bruckheimer production, with a score by Harry
Gregson-Williams (Rupert's brother). (HP, 4 Feb 24; updated 17 Feb
