From director Roland Emmerich (Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day) comes a sweeping odyssey into a mythical age of prophesies and gods, when spirits rule the land and mighty mammoths shake the earth. In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter, D'Leh (Steven Strait), has found his heart's passion--the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle). When a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-tooth tigers and prehistoric predators and, at their heroic journey's end, they uncover a Lost Civilization. Their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies. Here they will take their stand against a powerful god who has brutally enslaved their people. Warner Bros. Pictures presents 10,000 BC, opening March 7 in theatres nationwide. The Decca soundtrack will be released on March 11 and features original music by Harald Kloser and Thomas Wander, composers of Day After Tomorrow.

Not awesome.......but certainly not awful either.:
The soundrack for 10,000 BC is not for everyone (but then, show me the soundtrack that is). It is much like Brian Tyler or Steve Jablonsky's work in that there is a great deal of complex percussion. There are also two beautiful themes: a melancholoy love theme, and a dramatic theme for what I assume would be wide vista shots. These themes are found primarily in tracks 4, 9, 14, 20, 21, and 22. My favourite is 22 by far, but I also love track 14 (sea of sand). There is also a good deal of 'ethnic'... more info
Some great tracks:
There are some very good tracks on here. Not all are good but there are at least 7 that are worth buying. I figure for $9.50 what the heck and bought the whole album. My seven favorites. 1. Opening
2. Speech
7. I was not brave
11. Wounded hunter
20. You came for me
21. The End
22. 10,000 BC/End Credits
