Review by Yolanda Everett-Wilson

Album Review: Heroes And Villains - Attila The Hun & Napoleon (Music From The BBC Television Series) So, I gave Heroes And Villains: Attila The Hun & Napoleon by Daniel Pemberton a spin, and man, it’s got some serious weight to it. Released back in 2009 under MovieScore Media, this soundtrack is like a mixtape for history nerds who also dig electronic vibes and modern classical scores. It’s not your usual Netflix-and-chill playlist—it’s more like something you’d blast while pretending you’re storming Constantinople or strategizing on a battlefield. Yeah, it’s that epic. Let me break it down quick. This album has tracks composed by Daniel Pemberton, with orchestration help from Andrew Skeet and performances by The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. There are 34 tracks total, but two stood out to me right away: "Naissus Battle" and "What Am I Saying." First up, "Naissus Battle." If you’ve ever wanted music that makes you feel like you're charging into battle with a sword in one hand and adrenaline pumping through your veins, this is it. The track builds tension so well—it starts off kinda quiet, almost sneaky, then BAM! Full-on orchestral chaos breaks loose. You can practically hear horses galloping and swords clashing. It’s intense without being over-the-top cheesy, which is hard to pull off. Honestly, I kept replaying this one because it just hits different every time. Then there’s "What Am I Saying," which feels like the polar opposite of "Naissus Battle." This piece slows things down and gets all introspective. It’s mostly soft strings and moody tones, perfect for when Attila or Napoleon (or whoever) needs a moment to question their life choices. Like, imagine sitting in a dimly lit tent after a brutal fight, wondering if all the bloodshed was worth it. That’s what this track sounds like. Super haunting, but beautiful at the same time. One thing I gotta mention—the production quality here is nuts. Mixed by Gareth Williams and mastered by Konstantin Braticevic, everything sounds crystal clear. Even the tiny details, like faint vocal hums or subtle percussion beats, don’t get lost in the mix. Plus, having Miriam Nemcova conduct the orchestra adds this extra layer of precision. Props to James Fitzpatrick too, who handled contracting the musicians. Now, here’s where things get weird. Listening to this album made me realize how much music shapes storytelling. These tracks aren’t just background noise—they literally bring these historical figures to life. By the end of the album, I found myself Googling random facts about Attila and Napoleon, like what they ate for breakfast or whatever. Not kidding! Anyway, if you’re into soundtracks that transport you to another era—or if you just want some dramatic tunes to make folding laundry feel cinematic—this album’s worth checking out. Just be prepared to daydream about leading armies or ruling empires. Or both. Whatever floats your boat.
