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 All other priorities rescinded.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 Ash: I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded.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 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.
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!"
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.
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 will always remember May 25, 1979 when Alien premiered . Chicago. It was a friday. I was sitting on the back porch listening to the radio and reading "American Film" magazine with Tom Skeritt ( Dallas) on the cover. The article asked the question. Will this film top star wars. Then newsflash. American Airlines flight 191 had just crashed after take off at O Hare airport. I ran to the TV. It was true. 274 gone. We went to see the movie that evening. A really quiet audience.
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.
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''
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
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.
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.
The emptiness of space.
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.
@Ruben Gutierrez He said "horror sci-fi", so no, Blade Runner, while a masterpiece, ain't in that list
Can't argue
I Agree! In fact, I liked both of them equally. Even both music scores.
I agree but what about Predator?
U r right.
Alien is my fave
Stands the test of time. A masterpiece all round.
I love how the flutes gives you sense of serenity just to be suddenly broken by the double bass note
So atmospheric and sinister, yet beautiful.
Goldsmith's compositions were a brilliant companion to the on screen action. It is without doubt, one of the all time great film scores.
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.

This movie was The Movie of Movies. Way beyond its time..!

Goosebumps at 4:34 ...

Amazing soundtrack for a spectacular movie. There isn´t another thiller like this one. Well done. Congratulations.
perfection orchesta, perfection sound, perfection organizer classic Alien (1979) perfect and silence OST
I stare at the stars at night while listening to this. It's atmospheric af.
Foreboding, atmospheric, and setting the tone - this score was BRILLIANT
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).

Very very very good...! Jerry Goldsmith was the greatest composer in the 20th Century..
4:34 gave me CHILLS!
TRUE
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.
Meravigliosa musica che sugella in maniera perfetta le scene relative all'astronave Nostromo!
This is fabulous. Thanks to everyone involved in this performance. Goldsmith’s score is so brilliant, added so much to the tension and terror
Those flute notes are iconic.
Such a mesmerizing and uneasy score. Love it!
Jerry Goldsmith was among the 5 greatest composers for film.
Od 4:44 veľmi vážna situácia a dokonale záchrana Brovoooooo majstrooo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
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.

This is an amazing rendition! Navarro and his orchestra really know their stuff.
min 1:42 original sound of Mother of Nostromo (Alien 1979)
2:24 there is something beautiful yet terrifying about it. Bravo 🙌
I love to listen to this while reading a horror novel
Captain, my Captain! Lovecraft, perhaps?
Takes me back to when I first heard this music kept me on EDGE of my couch
My top fav movies of all time.

Pure Magic.

Wow excellent and mesmerizing
Wonderful, thanks.

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.

XenomorphT 800 Dart Prime xenomorphs are the best alien races in history better than those retched humans or sayins xenomorphs are superior

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

THE epic opening OST of a movie

That's so cool
The future ain't what it used to be.
2:24 sounds like the alien being allergic to Ripley's cat
Genius!
awesome
perfekt
Always ❤❤❤❤❤
RIP Jerry Goldsmith
The music was spooky.
seems to have life.....
organic life......
wow
Danke!
Where is the rest of this concert?
meu sonho assistir ao vivo
Do not listen to this at home. At night. During winter. Alone. In a totally dark apartment.
Where's the rest????
Just fucking amazing!!!!!
There’s a special rung in hell for people who go to symphonies with a cough- like seriously this crowd sounds diseased

Opening music was really not bad .... 0_0
That music scares me.
Goldsmith and Williams. You'll not see their likes again.
