Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The bad guys in L. Ron Hubbard's sci-fi opera are deemed to be a pretty dim, unsavoury bunch--certainly by composer Elia Cmiral, as evidenced by his depiction of their preferred listening in "Psychlos Top 40". This electronic insanity leads nowhere, yet should at least intrigue the ear by the extent to which Cmiral has personally taken on board the chore of programming. Throughout the score there are a number of finely integrated samples and effects, which together with some ethnic instrumentation in the orchestra is emblematic of the human survivors fighting the Psychlos. It's a big, loud movie, and the score delivers in kind. What's pleasingly absent is any form of patriotic anthem, since one would have been misplaced. The album's last third is a never-ending series of crescendos that breach one acoustic plateau after another (eg the breakneck "Dome Explodes" with tongue-in-cheek brass de-crescendos). Subtle it ain't--just like them pesky Psychlos.--Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong and Honest Film Music, 18 Oct 2001
The critical turmoil that the film "Battlefield Earth" provoked, resulted in a total oblivion of the impressive score written by the talented composer Elia Cmiral.
Here we have a soundtrack that is honest, heroic, dramatic and in many aspects highly original. The orchestrations are dynamic and full of strength (take for example, the great use of War Drums). The moods are varied from the mysterious and tense to the action paced.
The fanfarre main theme that has an unforgettable motive which appears throughout the score should have been destined to become a classic moment of film history.
Please, if you have seen the movie (or read the book) and disliked it, then try listening to this CD as a pure musical experience. I am sure you will find a treasure full of valuable musical jewels.
