Title: Finally available on CD!!
Review: The Dark Crystal is one of the best fantasy films ever made, and the music by Trevor Jones is some of the best music to come out of the 1980s. The soundtrack has been out of print for some time, and now it is finally here!! There was a two disc limited edition that was available on other web sites, but sold quickly. This here is the original soundtrack release from 1982.Trevor Jones' other scores include Excalibur, Labrynth, Runaway Train, G.I. Jane, From Hell, and The Last Of The Mohicans. His score for The Dark Crystal is haunting and beautiful. The Overture is grand with it's use of horns and strings. The love theme is quiet and haunting. The Pod Dance is playful and sounds like Irish folk music. The Gelfling Song helps give the movie and soundtrack it's own voice. Some battle music is missing, but all in all, it is a great representation of the movie. I highly recommend this, and is great for any fan of The Dark Crystal!!
