  • there was such a sense of grandeur to this movie...

  • @OpenMawProductions thanks

    

  • @Alex2424121 That twang sound, if it's what I think you're referring to is called a "Blaster beam" Essentially hitting a mortar shell against a piano string if I recall correctly. (You can look it up on Google, it'll be there under "blaster beam")

  • @AMDQuadCore1 The entire score was nominated for an Academy Award in 1979 as was the visual effects.

  • I think this is my favorite part of the Motion Picture score. Eerie, chilling, and yet hopeful and inspiring.

  • I am beyond words wondering why the melodies from this soundtrack never received any Oscars at all.

    People need to remove the garbage from their ears and open their hearts.

  • @FreedomZealot It isn't all that uncommon for "The Planets" to be the inspiration for other themes. "Jupiter" inspired "World In Union", the Rugby World Cup Anthem - F5ZR2R3NeBI - and "Mars" - L0bcRCCg01I - esp from 2:13 - must have been the inspiration some of John Williams "Star Wars" themes and incidental music.

  • All due respect to the late Mr. Goldsmith, who is one of my favorite contemporary composers. That being said, this must be, as well: Compare 0:23 - 1:13 to the late middle section of "Neptune" from Holst's "The Planets" suite. This *isn't* plagiarism; the source of Goldsmith's inspiration strikes me as pretty obvious. And this soundtrack is his finest work, in my opinion.

  • I'm curious of what they used for the twang sound
