4.0 out of 5 stars Music, or not-music?, 12 Aug 2000
By A Customer
The Wire magazine listed this in the 100 best albums of all time. Of course, when it was first released, it was released as "Sound effects" as it was considered insulting to term it 'musical'. Of course nowadays ears have changed, and we can find this experimentalism more acceptable. Just imagine the more difficult sides of Pink Floyd and the Beatles, but 10 years ahead of their time. An interesting historical document at least. Noise to some...or music to others? You decide

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrifying music, 9 Jan 2003
By "rkemp78" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Louis and Bebe Barron were early pioneers in electronic music. They created the first entirely electronic score for a film with this soundtrack for Forbidden Planet. You hear ossilators, filters, mixers and all kinds of electronic noise. When I first watched the film as a child I was most interested in the soundtrack, it was totally unlike anything I'd heard before or since. When you consider that it was made in the 1950's it's amazing to think how ground-breaking this was. It's one of the key pieces in the development of electronic music.

Some people may quibble on whether this should be classed as "music". However this CD has a strong emotional effect on me. This music can be completely unsettling to terrifying but sometimes warm as well. All music should provoke an emotional response. This is an amazing CD and is highly recommended whether or not you are a fan of the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars "what dreams sound like", 14 Sep 2008
By Alasdair Swanson "arcoddath" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Simply astounding -- every "theme" produced by a hand-crafted circuit in the days before electronic music *was* music yet it still feels alive and breathing. An incredibly powerful sense of place and time, one of the most genuinely alien scores ever produced, synthetic yet organic.

One of the Barrons was told by a listener that their music was "what their dreams sound like".

I concur.
