Definitely one of the best and most intense action cues ever written and performed. My favorite part starts at 1:01. The intensity of the percussion really drives home the suspense portrayed during this part of the film. I also remember hearing it when it was used as the stage music during the mine field level in Rebel Assault II.
@alucard624 Written for 9 percussionists and 4 pianists. Just amazing. Brilliant. I think the entire Empire Strikes Back soundtrack is arguably Williams' best work of his career. Agreed regarding the intensity of this action cue.

What I love about his music is that it creates the perfect sense of everything just going horribly wrong. Totally chaotic and out of control.

Once again it depends on your point of view. For the Empire everything is going exactly right. ;D
