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 24)
