I like the way how the music includes all the things that are in this film. I mean I can even hear how the space station works. All mechanisms of it. I can hear even the depth of the space and the danger that it is coming from it. All the things convey through the music which is awesome.
Ripley: Ash, can you hear me? Ash? Ash: Yes, I can hear you. Ripley: What was your special order? Ash: You read it. I thought it was clear. Ripley: What was it? Ash: Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded. Parker: The damn company. What about our lives, you son of a bitch?! Ash: I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded. Ripley: How do we kill it, Ash? There's got to be a way of killing it. How - how do we do it? Ash: You can't. Parker: That's bullshit. Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. Lambert: You admire it. Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor...unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. Parker: Well, I don't. I've heard enough of this, and I'm asking you to pull the plug. [Ripley moves to turn Ash off, but he interrupts] Ash: Last words. Ripley: What? Ash: I can't lie to you about your chances, but...you have my sympathies. [he smiles] Ripley: [turns Ash off] We're gonna blow up the ship. We'll take our chances, and blow up the ship.
Both the movie and the score were total game-changers. No question. But it would just have been another sci-fi flick were it not for the total genius of artist Hans-Ruedi (HR) Giger. The xenomorph, the scenery, the eggs, the facehugger, the pilot's chamber, the pilot, the abandoned ship - virtually the entire design and entire vibe of the entire movie all came from his mind and his airbrush. I would recommend that any 'Alien' series fans interested in these dark, mysterious creations, go visit his museum and former home in Gruyeres, Switzerland, to see his original ideas, paintings and set models. I've been there three times on various European road trips. Life will never be the same again. Just go there.
I was blessed with a busy studio singing career for many years, during which time I had the privilege of working with Goldsmith. On the Poltergeist recording session I mentioned to him how much I loved his score for Alien. He said it was not a happy experience, that Ridley Scott was difficult. No matter, his score is sensational
I empathise with you, Diana. I understand that both Ridley and James Cameron were difficult to work with as far as musical score is concerned. James Horner had to strike compromises with Cameron over 'Aliens' and that was even when they were both good friends! Amazing how the love of the art can cause such turmoil in relationships. I've been down that road.
For a horror film, it's interesting how ALIEN has inspired such acknowledgement that audiences get to experience the movie as a full orchestral event. "Hey honey, put on your tux. We're going to go see ALIEN!"
This is the definition of eerie. So relaxing, from an audience/entertainment perspective, yet so unsettling to listen to at the same time, by illustrating a bleak dystopian concept. absolute 1 in a million composition! All elements truly came together in this film. Such a masterpiece. Made in 1979, too... Unbelievable!
I always felt bad for Parker and Brett, kind of "they got an ugly end because they whined about their bonus situation" LOL. Maybe things would have turned out differently if they hadn't brought it up :p
Best score ever. When Elon musks new capsule design with Ripley on board docked with the ISS for the first time they should have had a little alien burst from her chest on live TV.
Fantastic. Goldsmith has many great scores but Alien is my favorite (despite the fact much of it isn't used in the movie. But even the cues that weren't used still obviously invoke the spirit of Alien.) I always contend that film scores are the modern equivalent of classical music (I know orchestral music is still being composed but it's not as prominent as film composing). Stuff like this is the proof. Won't be surprising if classical concerts 50 years from now will include this along side Stravinsky, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, et al.
This doesnt was the score - as far i can tell... but it breath the same atmosphere, the same soul... this conductor DEFINITELY understood , what Goldsmith wanted to express with the score. Big kudos from me - and i doesnt say this so easy ... because the movie Alien is holy for me - so holy, that i even dont accept Alien 2 as ''same quality''
AAAARGH i wont sleep tonight now! The first Alien film was the crowning glory, sadly it went down hill from there with ‘dog’ aliens and human hybrids 🤷🏼♂️😧 Even today nothing can surpass this movie........remember....... “IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM!”👽😳😩
Let me just add something for your attention: this is the final main title for the film after Ridley Scott rejected the more romantic first version…so Goldsmith says he wrote this majestically horrifying piece in just a few minutes 😂 (at least by what he says in this interview ua-cam.com/video/U8bv0QDLI7M/v-deo.html)
Music can make or break a movie. This symphony took Alien to another level.
Those flute notes give me chills every time.
To me they're like a 'there's movement, life' vibe then the low drone note lets you know it's not good; ominous.
me too
Same, and that's why they're my favorite part.
Stands the test of time. A masterpiece all round.
The Thing and Alien are the top 2 sci-fi horror flicks of all time. Let alone 2 of the greatest films ever with great scores.
How could u forget blade Runner
@@Darizzard93 He said "horror sci-fi", so no, Blade Runner, while a masterpiece, ain't in that list
Alfonso Castaneda hmm tue I Stand corrected 🙏👌
Can't argue
I Agree! In fact, I liked both of them equally. Even both music scores.
I love how the flutes gives you sense of serenity just to be suddenly broken by the double bass note
Goldsmith's compositions were a brilliant companion to the on screen action. It is without doubt, one of the all time great film scores.
So atmospheric and sinister, yet beautiful.
This movie was The Movie of Movies. Way beyond its time..!
Amazing soundtrack for a spectacular movie. There isn´t another thiller like this one. Well done. Congratulations.

Jerry Goldsmith was such a genius !!!!!!!
perfection orchesta, perfection sound, perfection organizer classic Alien (1979) perfect and silence OST

Goosebumps at 4:34 ...
Thanks for posting :)
Holy cow. Totally agree. Love this movie for decades

This performance was extraordinary..gave all the credits to a perfect movie with perfect score..Alien..actualy mother of all movies..
Very very very good...! Jerry Goldsmith was the greatest composer in the 20th Century..
My favourite soundtrack of all time from my favourite film of all time. What a privilege it would be to hear them live. Incredible performance.
I stare at the stars at night while listening to this. It's atmospheric af.
This is fabulous. Thanks to everyone involved in this performance. Goldsmith’s score is so brilliant, added so much to the tension and terror
4:34 gave me CHILLS!

Such a mesmerizing and uneasy score. Love it!
Those flute notes are iconic.
My top fav movies of all time.
Jerry Goldsmith was among the 5 greatest composers for film.
For a horror film, it's interesting how ALIEN has inspired such acknowledgement that audiences get to experience the movie as a full orchestral event.
"Hey honey, put on your tux. We're going to go see ALIEN!"
As a genre, horror movies are most likely to depend on music (and sound).
Od 4:44 veľmi vážna situácia a dokonale záchrana Brovoooooo majstrooo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is an amazing rendition! Navarro and his orchestra really know their stuff.
Foreboding, atmospheric, and setting the tone - this score was BRILLIANT
2:24 there is something beautiful yet terrifying about it. Bravo 🙌
This music and the title sequence of the film is by far one of the most CHILLING things I've ever seen in film history.
I love to listen to this while reading a horror novel
Captain, my Captain! Lovecraft, perhaps?

I would love to see Alien at the cinema
Excellent!
Amazing composer, amazing interprétation.
Pure Magic.
Very good alien sond nostalgic 1979 movie xd
The orchestra deserves a round of free hugs for their performance
Great performance
Wonderful, thanks.
Wow excellent and mesmerizing
Goldsmith was a genius. This is a suitably scary score. I love the flute triads
MASTERPIECE...
min 1:42 original sound of Mother of Nostromo (Alien 1979)
There are geniuses, and Goldsmith
Masterpiece
Fantastic
Very nice 👍 ❤
Let's talk about the bonus situation
I always felt bad for Parker and Brett, kind of "they got an ugly end because they whined about their bonus situation" LOL. Maybe things would have turned out differently if they hadn't brought it up :p
"Right!" - Brett
perfection.
Fantastisk ❤
COOL ! I LOVE ALIEN . Its my life . 💟

Jerry goldsmiths genius
Genius!

Goldsmith and Williams. You'll not see their likes again.
RIP Jerry Goldsmith
