The Black Hole OST Track 2 Main Title

[ndanjr93]

This was the first movie I saw as a child and it brings back a lot of memories. The music is iconic of the film, it instilled a sense of mystery and foreboding. I hope Disney keeps this piece as the opening title music with their remake of the film.

[astclair]

Rienhart... old Bob... that oppresive soundtrack with Maximillion bearing down on you.

30 years later still the best soundtrack and movie Disney ever did for adults.

[aries14482]

This music brings back such strong feelings from my childhood! You know when you're still at that age that you can't tell that the things you see on TV aren't possible? That's where I was when I first saw this movie. This movie made me think I would be growing up and going out to the stars.

This music brings such powerful old memories back! Thanks for uploading. :)

[Stolemyusename]

Da da DAAAHHHH

this is most epic and creepiest for space disaster movies

[MrDeadInMyPocket]

When I first saw this movie when I was a kid I was devastated when old Bob died, yeah the little junky robot with Slim Pickens voice. Of all the things going on in the movie, the whole crew being turned into mindless automotons etc. I was devastated about old Bob, stuck with me for weeks.

[CartoonsKick]

The theme is superb, and the movie was very much underrated IMO. I saw it in the cinema as a mere 8 year old, and it's lightless music and dark theme ran straight and true. I loved it, and love it still.

[OrionoftheStar]

Anyone else come here from one of those 'Size of the Universe' videos?

[james0robison]

@OrionoftheStar yes

[Skelerexbogoss2]

lol this song gives me the creeps

[verdigo1]

God this takes me back... one of the favorite movies from my youth.

[acceptthis01]

This reminds me of the Dr. Evil theme from Austin Powers (the orchestrated theme, not the They Might Be Giants song from the second one).

[pillsareyummy]

This would be a great piece of music to open a concert with. For example, to open for Slayer. To hear 'Reign in blood' after this,well, I'd go into cardiac arrest...

[car7000]

I feel very small while listening to this

[SteveSabbai]

...after 1:45 there is no music...

[camilafofucha98]

Star Wars...

[insdmia]

Thank you. I loved this movie when I was a kid. I remember that I was the only kid in my neighborhood who, along with R2D2 and C3PO, had a Vincent action figure.

[djmusicjac]

awesome GALACTIC FUNK love it

[Darthmalak12]

Ripping though Space & time going over a 1000 times light speed i would listen to this! :) lol

[ergius1988]

this song makes me look up in the sky at night and realize how puny and insignificant we all are. This song sounds so epic and powerful! It resembles the immense hyper giant space bodies that fly around us at unimaginable speeds. Its really scary to imagine a giant black hole getting closer and closer to you... The pictures that i construct in my mind while listening to this are so scary! This is amazing!

[amakkar]

this video makes best use of this music

/watch?v=HEheh1BH34Q

[1111Sean1111]

Just listened to this for the 1st time ever... what an amazing little piece of music.

[Johnlindsey289]

Anyone thinks this movie is Disney's version of 2001 a Space Odyssey?

[theocruz02]

Fuck, God was listening to this when He pushed the button that started Big Bang.

[dinovrsrobot]

@theocruz02 THE MENTAL IMAGE OF THIS IS AWESOME.

[EmpireLS56KW]

The sweeping score that moves over the computer like animated grid is WOW on the opening it takes, me personally into a virtual black hole with sub bass turned up to the correct level!

Thanks John Barry for lovely written scores over your lifetime...

R.I.P. John Barry

[asterian75]

RIP John Barry

[ProjectFlashlight612]

An incredible tune. RIP John Barry.

[TickleMeJewish]

RIP John Barry.

[TickleMeJewish]

No music from 1:41 and on please re-upload without wasted time.

[madgang201]

If Daft Punk should do the score for the remake like he did with "Tron: Legacy", do you think they would sample or remake this track?

[TheREALDanontheMoon]

They're doing a 2012 remake of this movie? Seriously? Thanks, I've gotta go change my underwear now, thanks for the news. :D

[scisan60]

This has to be Barry's most majestic and beautiful scores! There are so many to choose from....This one hits the spot!

[IggyHazard]

Personifies a black hole perfectly.

[bomlin]

Too bad the movie didn't live up to the soundtrack.

[edirun1]

cool!

[jdj106]

I will do the remake!

[Nynexla]

@jdj106 Tron director is already doing it, if it sucks email me your number.

[GanjaTaz]

@Nynexla

If the new 2012 version of The Black Hole goes like TRON: Legacy I think us old fans will be happy, TRON's score and visuals were awesome and lived up to expectations and beyond in my opinion.

As for this OST, I used to have the album and loved it to bits as a kid, great music and a shame they don't do things this way these days as the big orchestra sound is so neglected now. =/

[feb67ruary]

Man this gives me CHILLS! I remember seeing this movie with my Dad in the theatre. I think it's the only movie we ever saw together just the two of us.

[DeepDeepSpace]

This movie was already remade in 1997. It was called Event Horizon.

[Valiand7]

O.o awsom song!

[SPeacock]

Great theme to an underrated film - PS: This video was uploaded on my 21st birthday :) One year ago!

[agshp112]

great theme

[wbtarkus]

John Barry great composer !!!

[Pauljwiz]

love this track, also the work he did on Raise the Titanic.

[SusannieSue]

This song is amazing :) :D

[Ivyandstone]

This is a beautiful piece of music and I love it, but it sounds so hopeless and despairing and *final*. It sounds like someone screaming.

[AnimeFanatic5602]

@Ivyandstone It makes sense when you consider not only the theme of the film, but also the very nature of black holes themselves. Someone screaming is as apt a description as I can think of.

[nosajj12345]

John Barry is one of the legends. His movie soundtracks are some of the most memorable for me

[cecil7]

nice....

[DizzyBlizzy]

I can't remember dude's name! Max Von Schnyder? He was in this movie. He was also that king in Conan the Barbarian.

[StormsongK]

@DizzyBlizzy I *think* you're thinking of two different people. The king from Conan was played by Max von Sydow. Dr. Reinhardt, this film's "villain", was played by Maximillian Schell. Hope this helps.

[beerdeddi]

Die (T)Scheibe...da Tschää-Sepp!!!

[cladiax1]

just as good as the theme The Surface of the Sun by John Murphy

[PhatalPhury]

Fire the "lazer".

[ExosiusWoolley]

@PhatalPhury : It's super effective!

[PolyAthletics]

@PhatalPhury AHAHHAHH +1 point to you sir!

[Mackingster]

I love the lushness of this soundtrack. I wish we had more movie composers like him still around.

[DonkeyWerks]

One of the best themes ever... And dark for Disney.

[DXman099]

@DonkeyWerks Disney Made it? No wonder it was Kinda Childest looking. But when i saw the ending with hell in stuff anf the ghost i was scared shitless.

[DXman099]

@DonkeyWerks Disney Made it? No wonder it was Kinda Childest looking. But when i saw the ending with hell in stuff and the ghost i was scared shitless. anyway like 10 years later i love the movie and understand the ending.

[dymchurch1]

@DonkeyWerks for the Disney of that era (The Real Disney)

[1niftyjay]

@DonkeyWerks You're so right. That was an intense movie. People got turned into mindless zombies, drilled by evil robots, and went through heaven and hell. This is NOT "Bambi". When I saw it as a kid, I was blown away.

[TheFightingTwits]

Omg. where can I download this?

[alucard624]

I can think of 2 options right now. 1, I believe iTunes still has the whole soundtrack for download. And 2, you could get the original LP album like I did and copy the tracks from it via a turntable PC program. Unfortunately I do not have the program anymore but I'm in the process of getting it again. If all else fails, I can send you the track via email as well.

[bolshak34]

@alucard624 Try zamzar.com

[MikeHenriquez77]

@alucard624 Please send the track to me!!

[alucard624]

@TheFightingTwits I know this comment is a year old, but just to let you know, Disney gave Intrada Records the go ahead to release a complete version of the score for the Black Hole. Just ordered a copy off of their website. It's $19.99 but I think its worth it. I will be posting the missing cues once I have it so stay tuned.

[TheFightingTwits]

@alucard624 thanks!

[hasablad69]

I think that John Barry got his score sheets mixed up again - this theme would have been better suited to "Moonraker". It would have underscored Roger Moore's idiocy as James Bond.

[chopperpilot5]

no it's perfect for this movie, and no others

[DanielBowden1975]

Remember the Beta Band sampling this

[KaitainCPS]

How so?

[number1spielbergfan]

@sabiansix how?

[mastgrr]

John Barry's space music is god damn epic. Listen to "Space March" (Capsule in Space) or its other name "007 and Counting" so extremely epic it gives me goosebumps.

[KaitainCPS]

One of my favourites is "Flight into Space" from Moonraker, with its evocation of a majestic, weightless procession.

[huffymatron]

There are apparently plans for a remake, but they can change anything they want - except the score. It can't be bettered.

[Chudhole]

I would love to see this re-made. But I don't think they should mess with the soundtrack at all. It's one of the best.

[ShelbyEleanor500]

@huffymatron i found articles saying that the director is the guy who did "the losers" and he's a major fan of the original movie, as such he's planning on keeping most of the original elements of the movie, whether or not that means the score is yet to be seen but its something to hope for

[snsScotch]

I'm pretty sure there's a blaster beam being used early in this composition. Neat.

[abSOULuteD]

If Black Hole was to be remade, it should still have an ochrestra do the score

[alucard624]

Even better, have John Barry or even John Williams score it. It would be epic to say the least.

[abSOULuteD]

That it will that it will

[FishfilmInc]

@alucard624 Did you know this is getting a re-release?

[HungrieHipp0]

@alucard624 Tron: Legacy abandoned the theme from the original (1982) entirely. I hope to God Kosinski preserved the tunes of this soundtrack for his remake.

[Madchris55]

@abSOULuteD Dude it will be remade. :)

[bolshak34]

@abSOULuteD Rather why don't they just keep the score, it's great enough already.

[speex2k]

An unbelievable mystical song. One of my alltime favourites.

[AnimeFanatic5602]

Quite possibly one of the most eerie musical scores ever composed.

[Animehound1]

Much like the black hole itself huh?

[StarwarsHalofreak]

Oh man do I get the willies anytime I hear this, Just amazing

[wolfwing1]

even scarrier with the images of the black hole and such :> Great movie though.
