The Black Hole OST Track 1 The Overture

This piece is the famous overture theme which was composed for The Black Hole. It was one of the last overture pieces ever used for a theatrical release (the other being Ilia's Theme from Star Trek The Motion Picture). Of all the music from The Black Hole, this is the piece most heard, as it has been featured on many different soundtrack compilations, albeit in different tones. I absolutely love the triumphant sound of this piece. I think it would be a great song to use for graduation ceremonys, just like The Throne Room from the end of A New Hope.

PS. I will be posting more of The Black Hole soundtrack as time goes by, as well as some more music from Star Trek and other films, so stay tuned.

Great Song!!! IMO, this movie is very underrated, it really deserves MORE. Disney should go back & fix all the special effects, and also give us a special edition dvd/blu-ray with lots of extras.

That would be nice, considering that there are some deleted scenes, such as the sequence when the crew tries to go through the engine room and a bridge collapses with Captain Holland on it. You can see a cut on his face later in the film that I believe comes from this cut sequence. There are stills of it in the storybook and the whole thing is described in the novelization.

A blu ray release would be sweet, with commentary from the cast (surviving cast members that is).

Have you got that tue the one where Captain goes to rescue kate and orders pizer to take off without him and the reporter panics and is killed.

Its that funky sounding bit just before the Overture battle scene in the hospital.

I remember that piece too. It had a pretty cool sound to it from what I recall. Unfortunately, I do not have that piece, as it was never released on the soundtrack. However, I have been toying with the idea of ripping the audio from the film itself and making my own complete soundtrack of the film and posting it in the future. Only problem is I'm lacking the skills and equipment to do this at this time.

@RustiSwordz Just to let you know, Disney gave Intrada Records the go ahead to release the complete score to The Black Hole. If you go on Intrada's website you can order it for $19.99. Just ordered my copy today and will be eventually posting the missing cues that many have requested finally for a complete score.

John Barry is a musical genius and this film is one of the best and most underrated scifi classics ever made.

This soundtrack made history...

It was the first ever digital recording (made in 1979).

@romeonarcizo I grew up watching awesome movies like The Black Hole, Star Wars ep.4-6, Flash Gordon, Tron, The Dark Crystal, Krull, Star Trek 1-6, E.T., Dragonslayer, The Last Starfighter, Flight of the Navigator, Return to OZ, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Labyrinth, Willow, The Last Unicorn, The Secret of NIMH, Rock & Rule, Heavy Metal, Enemy Mine, Outland,Mad Max 1-3 and many many more and i can very safely say now that the 80's were truly the best time ever for the movies and being a kid.

Almost sounds like it belongs in the movie "The Last Starfighter" for some reason.
