Where can I get the music from this scene?

This has Saul Bass' signature all over it.

Amazing. The opening titles don't even use the newer 20th Century Fox sequence. It just shows how ahead of its time this movie is.

I have to disagree. The control panels and computers used in the film look so dated now.
Only the casts and the story-line saved this film from being trashed.
The special effects are also rudimentary.

I agree with you on their concepts of future computers. Why do you consider the special effects rudimentary?

"Only the casts and the story-line saved this film from being trashed?" I couldn't disagree more. Alien is one of the most beautifully-designed films of all time. Geiger's sets, the industrial mis-en-scene in the Nostromo, the idea of "blue collar" astronauts: it's hard to think of a film that's had more influence on the look of the late 20th and early 21st century.

imdb gives "Saul Bass .... title designer (uncredited)"
There is no mention of Richard Alan Greenberg.

Richard Greenberg created this title sequence at R/Greenberg Associates in New York. I worked at R/GA when they produced these titles.

Hey imaginaryforces! I have the Design Quartely special edition on RG&A (Walker Art Center sponsored #144). Aren't you Karin Fong? If you are not, you work with her for sure. I'm a motion graphics design researcher and teacher. Can you tell me more about RG&A and IF?

Are you sure this was done by Saul Bass? It doesn't look like he did.

Film content related, significant revealing, aparition of the lettering is the trademark of RG&A in the late 70's and 80's. See "Altered States", "True Lies", "Superman" "Untouchables" "American Playhouse" and many others. Even "Se7en" was done there by Kyle Cooper and Thomas Cobb, not at Imaginary Forces as many report.
Don't get me wrong imaginaryforces :) I love you too! You are the fourth wave of film titles motion graphics design history: Bass/Frankfurt/RG&A/IF
