I like the thought of waking from 57 years of sleep and emering in the year 2178 in a terrifying yet enigmatic new world deep in space... and far from home.
Holy shit, it was really quiet so turned it on full blast on my headphones. Got to 0:53 and I nearly shed my damn skin (I'm at work and have this on in the background).
When I bought this soundtrack, I didn't know what to expect. Because it was the very first score by James Horner of the 80s I had ever listened to. However, as I listened to it, it blew all of my expectations away! It was impressive to me, and to this day it remains one of my favorite scores! Thank you very much for uploading the soundtrack.
I love the ALien and Predator Series altogether. So hard for me to decide the winner but Im gonna go for the ALien Series simply because it has better character development and complex storylines (First two are landmarks while 3 and Ressurection are so-so).
@FilmReviewGuy456 Agreed, but seriously, Alien 3 could have been so much more. The restored work print version available via the box set showed where Fincher could have taken it had Fox not screwed him over. The potential is there, but it was botched in the end.
Did James Cameron choose that original classial music for the opening titles on the film's rough cut edit and did he ask Horner to write along the same lines? It does fit the film really well.
listening to this in the dark, this is the stuff of nightmares, i always loved the music to the alien films, the music fit like a glove to the films atmosphere and setting, deepest darkest space, who knows what is out there but i can imagine its even scarier than what hr giger envisioned
@djteknovibe entirely correct. though I have no doupt of aliens. Big Bang Theory says there has to be, and the bible does not say there are none. Also I don't think so highly of myself to believe god would use all his unlimited power and intelegence just on us. thats just my thought on the matter. But... Reality may be stranger than my theories, or this movies story.
Thanks for uploading this music. Extremely hard to find the soundtrack on youtube, im at least happy to find the first song. Now I just need to find the confed marines theme!
Oh, well yes and no. Couldn't find theColonial Marines drum theme a solid and independent on youtube, or listed a track in the Aliens soundtrack. But, I did find it elsewhere as a solid and independent piece on/for a video game called Alien Swarm for Unreal Tournament. The theme is played at the launch menu where you look at you're troops, equipment, and mission objectives.

I've always loved the opening musical themes of "Aliens"...They really are quite atmospheric. Set the mood for the rest of the film quite well.

Horner should credit Bela Bartok for that sinister etheral 'night music'.
Great score though.

It's in fact Khachaturian, from his Gayanne suite (it's used in 2001: A space Odyssey) . And he did credit him, IIRC.
