Predator Soundtrack

This classic Alan Silvestri score was one that soundtrack collectors had a hard time finding a few years ago. You would have to shell out some big bucks to obtain a copy because they went out of print and were very hard to find. Intrada records released a limited edition CD in 2011 with remastered sound and that too sold out quickly. This 2012 version is the latest version available and is essentially a re-release of the version before with minor alterations and a few unedited cues. Intrada records refers to this version of the soundtrack to be the "definitive, complete presentation score". If you've ever bought any soundtrack CDs from Intrada...then you know how much time and care they put into their releases. I'm a big fan of theirs because I've been able to find a lot of soundtracks that I once thought would be unobtainable.The score begins with the Fox Fanfare that was altered by Elliot Godenthal in 1992 for the Alien 3 movie. I guess they decided to use it again for the Predator movie because of "alien" similarities. There are a total of 20 tracks with a run time of 1 hour and 16 minutes. Silvestri's score sounds great and if you are a fan of the movie or Silvestri's work, your going to want this in your collection. Intrada has packaged this CD well with plenty of photo's and details about the movie, the score, and the making of this particular release. The 16 page booklet contains a wealth of information and fun facts that any fan can appreciate. This particular soundtrack is usually touted as being one of Alan Silvestri's best science fiction sores and there is no guarantee that this particular release will be around for long. There are some great cues in here that every time I listen to...it makes me want to watch the movie. In fact, I bought this CD in 2012 when it was released and I am writing this review 2014. I just happened to be listening to it today and admiring how great it was! I was glad to see that there are some copies left for people to pick up. There are some great cues on the album that will put you back into that jungle hunt with the predator stalking it's prey. One of my favorite cues is track 9, "He's My Friend". It is a solemn military piece that sounds like something you'd hear at a funeral. The main title is one of my favorites as well because it does a great job of setting up the whole score. It's blend of action and science fiction adventure provides great Predator nostalgia!You really can't go wrong with this score. It's packaged well and sounds great. Pick this one up before they disappear for years again!

"Predator" stands as one of my favorite alien films. Part of what makes that first film so great is Alan Silvestri's amazing score. It evokes the feeling of the South American jungle while also sending chills down your spine. For years I looked and looked for this little gem of a soundtrack to add to my collection. Finally, it's here. Now there have been a few earlier releases that somehow slipped by me. When I found this one, I wasn't going to let it go.We're presented with 20 tracks that pretty much covers nearly all of the cues from the film. What I really like is they're presented in the order Silvestri originally recorded them. A few cues will be out of place when compared to the finished film, but it does not take away from the enjoyment of having one of the greatest film scores.I am curious, though as to why the Fox Fanfare is the one used at the beginning of "Alien 3?" Why not used the version from, you know "Predator?" Anyway, that's neither here nor there. It's a great album and worth every penny if you love film scores. Its nestled happily on my shelf next to the "Predator 2" soundtrack.

For some time this soundtrack was impossible to get ahold of. I was surprised when I saw that it was again for sale and immediately made purchase. It is one of those 'rare' iconic soundtracks that is a true masterpiece, and, which stands on its own as a musical journey in itself. Easily one of my favorite movie soundtracks, right up there with Master and Commander, The Dark Knight, and The Lone Ranger...which are all, also, very very good.

This is one of THE BEST soundtracks ever made. This has pretty much been on repeat for me since I purchased it back in March 2021. The film has been a favorite since it was released so not sure why I didn't grab this score a long time ago. I'm a fan of John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith to name a couple but Alan Silvestri absolutely nailed it with this score. I highly recommend it.

Alan Silverstri's remastered Predator soundtrack is absolutely perfect. If you like these kind of great sci-fi, action films and Predator (why wouldn't you?), you will not be able to stop listening to this incredible music. When I saw that this was finally available again, I purchased it immediately to prevent it from being sold out. This would be a great bargain at even twice the price. Add this to your collection, you will not be disappointed, trust me. As Arnold would say if asked about this music "Stick around". I agree. Stick around and listen to powerfulAliens Above, Ghosts Below: Explorations of the Unkown music from a great movie.

For years I was disappointed to know that while the company I long associated with scores (Varese Sarbande) released the score for the sequel, there was never a score for the first film put on vinyl. Intrada did a limited release and those who were fond of Silvestri's score hunted down the copies before many had a chance to react, like Schwarzenegger's fellow soldiers who wound up having the alien's targeting beams locked on them. Well the release was repressed and seems to have all the music, save the song by Little Richard heard when the team is en route to their mission.

I was on the fence. Decided what the hell. Ho-ly crap. If you’re an audiophile….buy. You won’t regret when track 16 kicks you in the face at 5 minutes and 48 seconds while you’re entire family is asleep!

The box was in awful condition.

Excelente CD llego a tiempo y en condiciones perfectas.

Oft bekommt man Soundtrack-CD's, in den halbherzig ein paar Titel gedudelt werden, und Schluß. Dieser aber, auf den wir so lange gewartet haben, läßt in seinen 76 minuten und unglaublich fantasievoll gespielten, an Suiten erinnernde Stücke mit einer ausufernden Dynamik und Atmosphäre keine Wünsche offen!Man ist förmlich im Dschungel, spürt den Predator stofflich, so einfallsreich, effektvoll sind die Titel arrangiert.Dazu ein dickes Heft mit vielen Insider-Infos und Bildern, ....kurz: so muss die Soundtrack-CD für einen Kultfilm gemacht werden!
