The Rock reprised his character of Mathayus from The Mummy Returns in an origin story depicting the Akkadian mercenary’s rise to power 5,001 years prior to the events of the previous films. \u003cbr\u003eDirector Chuck Russell (The Mask, Eraser) chose John Debney to score The Scorpion King based on the strength of his symphonic score for Cutthroat Island (1995). Debney followed in the Mummy footsteps of Jerry Goldsmith and Alan Silvestri with a gargantuan, desert-flavored action score for full orchestra and choir, including non-Western instruments like the ney, duduk and ram’s horn (and Japanese taiko drums and flutes) to evoke exoticism and antiquity. He also, befitting the film’s contemporary swagger and The Rock’s wrestling fanbase, created a “mash-up” of symphonic instruments with shredding electric guitars.\u003cbr\u003eDirector and composer intended the score to be a tribute to classic adventure films. As Debney recalls in the new liner notes, “Chuck stressed how he wanted it to hearken back to those great films from yesteryear, where you have a lot of musical scurrying around. I went back to Korngold for its pirate aspect and the music of Ray Harryhausen’s Sinbad movies, as well as Jerry and Alan. I love doing these little musical homages to my heroes.”\u003cbr\u003eThe Scorpion King was released by Varèse Sarabande as a 40-minute CD at the time of the film. The 2CD Deluxe Edition doubles the score program to nearly 80 minutes, and adds a bonus section of Debney’s demos. Liner notes are by Daniel Schweiger.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever An Akadian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoo!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScorpion King: Main Title\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTribal Council\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamels Are Smarter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Attack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathayus Meets Memnon\/Fire Ants [Suite]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEscape from Ants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassandra's Vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSavage World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnemy at the Gate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickpockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFailed Attempt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarem Scarem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassandra's Bath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime to Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMessage to Memnon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValley of the Dead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Cave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathayus Arises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn to Sender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOasis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalthazar's Camp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVision of Doom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Had a Vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassandra Leaves Camp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep Aside\/Marching in [Suite]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassandra Returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVeiled Threat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Demonstration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParty's Over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Come for the Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalthazar Arrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie Well Assassin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScorpion King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever An Akadian [Demo]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoo!
