The soundtrack to the 1959 Italian peplum/sword-and-sandal film Goliath and the Barbarians starring American bodybuilder and mega-star in Europe at the time, Steve Reeves, Barbarian is about a million times better than the movie it was made to accompany. Featuring Les Baxter's signature percussion sound and moody arrangements, Barbarian is one of Baxter's finest titles of the late '50s/early '60s.
