The Last Gladiator (Soundtrack)
felt like i was watching a movie while listening to it. you do your job well. love it, great job! A+
This is a stunning piece of work Andy. Truly epic in scale, sounds like a Hollywood production. Rated. Craig
Well done Andy, as every a finely crafted piece of work, and also even better having just watched Spartacus Blood and Sand, fits in rather nicely. A really effective piece and carries through how you described it I reckon. Quality stuff :o) ONAGER
Sorry,I'm late again Andy. Luv those percs,I gotta get me some lol.Great arpegg marcato strings,very dramatic.Nice breakdown,those voices are gorgeous and you certainly know how to orchestrate...you make it sound sooo easy because it flows effortlessly. Take a belated ABP Mr F. Mart.
Thanks SuperH it is much appreciated Sir! Take Care Andy:)
This is excellent Andy, love this one. Gladiator history and movies are way up there in my list of favorites so I could really imagine the music fitting the scene. Orchestration sounded great to me especially the way you blended a modern aspect to the classical sounds. Love the come back from the fatal blow - this really should have a video to accompany it - only problem is it would cost a pretty penny to recreate the arena! Rated and nom'd - great work.
Thanks Andy! The voices are from Magnus Choir which you can download I am sure.... Take Care Andy :)
Maybe a little too much 'verb on some sounds (riff at about 47 secs and repeated) would have liked that more prominent - does this make sense? Other than that a totally captivating piece of work and fits the story nicely. Love thos lush vocal parts - i want em (East-West symphonic stuff I guess you're still using?). Rated
Bugger, I have to log in every time I want to comment. I have to use Chrome for one player and Firefox for the other! Anyway, never mind all that. This is a real treat. Love what you've done with the strings and percussion. Clever use of choir. Occasional abrupt changes here and there (a few notes cut short) but did not spoil my enjoyment in any way. ABP mate
Thanks Barry much appreciate my friend!
I am lost for words!! So much emotion, yet fully controlled!!! Epic springs to mind yet again!!! Superb and a deserved top spot!!! R' dup!!! Barry
Easily could be longer for the movie sound track but for a radio piece this is perfect....and I loved it from start to end....there is just nothing u cannot do really in this field opf music, is there? You have he imagination for almost anything at all...have you ever tried something for a a less dramatic scenario but equally needed in film industry...like say for fairies in a gorgeously imaginative setting...lighter, more delicate...bit like the film Avatar in places where there was no danger...? Just a thought...
I have massive admiration for anyone who can orchestrate well! It takes a lot of skill for sure. This has a lot of powerful driving percussion which invariably keeps things exciting - and course when you drop it out and we hear the choir voices - it is soooo moving and dramatic - it is a wonderful transition as well, when the gladiator is reviving in strength and resolve - I mean WOW - I am there! If anything you could have continued for at least thirty seconds more! That is my ONLY criticism - superb work Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a good piece, there's no arguing that. Very well composed and produced. I could very easily imagine the gaming market going nuts for your work Sir either that or you should've sold it to the makers of the TV series Spartacus. Top notch piece of work. T-Bone
Wow! Move over James Horner. Superb stuff Andy. Just for info I concur on the crash distortion - a minor tweek I'm sure. ABP & thanks as ever for the d/l.
Naterpiece!!!!....Oooops. of Course that was Masterpiece lol Capyures !!!. Captured.... im making up my own words here .Soz
Not sure what you use these days Andy, but what a naterpiece you have produced here ,Capyures the Scene very nice indeed , i can picture you thoughts on this one .Well Done my friend. Downed and Rated Andy...
Andy..... Full class soundtrack piece...Captures the mood, the scene and the aura of what you set out to do.. My only small gripe was the bass style crash, kept distorting?..(That could be my phones) ...Great piece of work and no suprise andy... Thanks for sharing!!... PS: Im thinking on make or break... I dont have the original recording due to a different PC..Im going to look to re-make but leave it open for you too... Bare with and i will be in touch..
Your talent amazes me. This is no exception. -rl
Wow, Great Track !!!
Percussion is spot on Andy,this is amazing piece of music.. all the hallmarks of a classic sountrack to a epic film.Love the tension and drama.Bravo fella an easy rate from me too.

Hi! I have been interested in music since an early age and now enjoy making tracks with the various software available.Such as Edirol, EWQLSO and my new addition, Miroslav Philharmonik which has some strings to die for, all this sequenced in Fruity Loops. I now seem to concentrate on composing Classical Soundtrack material. I also enjoy rearranging tracks in collaboration with the awesome talent on show here. Please stop by anytime and enjoy!The Chambers album has been accepted in the Music Dept of the National Library of Israel and hopefully will be added to the holocaust museum there.

I really enjoyed the melody. Loved the flute.... more than the bass :)
If I had my music software working, I could put my finger on it, but overall, just loved it!
Seeing as how I have been completely laid up for the past two doing doing nothing but honking into a handkerchief and spluttering like a man drowning (Ed: just a seasonal cold, tut tut poor reviewer), it seems appropriate that I should come riding back into the fray on orchestral wings. On second thought, after that sentence, maybe I should just go back to bed. Andrew Foyston (to give
Valour and Honour – Andy F- Essence Review Well, what can I say? It’s a huge track and no one can deny! Huge sounds, very dramatic indeed! I’ll try to skip the obvious comment of “this should be in a film” because it is obviously your intention Andy, to make your tunes fire the imagination and conjure up all kinds of themes and scenes to which your tracks could be impl
This an immensely dramtic and emotional piece of music. It's actually difficult to think where to start. The beginning is probably the best place.The haunting melody at the beginning truly sums up the emotion I can only imagine would be felt by prisoners being taken to the gas chambers. The bells add a nice touch, hinting to everyone that death is close. You can almost smell the mud and
Andy wondered if i was up for classical pieces when he submitted this for review! Good news is, yes I am! I have always loved orchestration, as does everyone if you really think about it. Whes used to it's full scope, 'classical' music fully captures and envokes all the feelings and meaning that modern music strives to recreate in different ways. Andy's 'The Last Galleon' does just that, the sus
T'was brass monkey weather time, three years ago, I reviewed a track called Di Da Mix (October 2003) and although liking its content (a little), disliking its production (even littler) and thoroughly berated the composer to get serious about his sound. AndyF (yep, you guessed it) obviously did because as many of you know, he's been in here plugging away ever since and btw, he did get s
Currently number one in MP3 Unsigned's Official chart, DHGC is a collaboration from two artists I have come to know very well, one for a very long time and one I've met within the last year. I first met AndyF a million years ago on another site when I reviewed his first track Di Da Mix (October 2003) and liked it. That hasn't always been the case, not because Andy isn't a good musician
Call me a sycophant if you like, I just don't care. I am bowled over by the undoubted talents of Andy F, and his latest track, Tears, is no exception. Building his orchestration around the superb vocals of Amy Caldwell, the loving care and attention given to this crisp and professional work is evident from the outset. It's always easy to eulogise over great songs and, naturally, personal taste c

ONE NOTE FIRST - “Although I am not totally into classical music, this song certainly has made me become interested in it. Fantastic score, fantastic instruments, fantastic feel to the song – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED” Review – Starting off smooth, the piano work done at the beginning is great, although could have been uplifted a bit to hear it a bit better, but with all the other instrument work
