I can't believe the whole playlist was deleted from UA-cam, what the hell? I'm so glad you were able to preserve this masterpiece for everyone to listen to!
Aww, the Landstriders theme! I always wanted one of those when I was a kid, and I felt so bad for them. Also, if your toes aren't tappin' to the pod people music, you're not alive!
I would like to share something here: I have always considered the RPG Morrowind to be the "gaming" consecuence of Dark Crystal. It has a lot of the designs we see in this film. Once I played the game with this music, and in my opinion the atmospheres recreated fit perfectly.
Leo Balladares haha but you can put your desired Dark Crystal tracks in your "explore music" folder and experience the 80's fantasy feeling I think Todd Howard really wanted us to experience.
I recorded this on VHS now I'm going to buy this on DVD I really love this movie Jim Henson was ahead of his time with this. Thank you Jim for giving us a great and wonderful movie that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
I have a book too, and I have the record soundtrack of the movie and a book with a mini record that narrates the story. As for 3D I think they're going overboard with everything in 3D.
Je suis né en 82, je le regardais souvent enfant, la musique est juste splendide et me replonge direct dans l'ambiance (un peu nostalgique.) Mais je n'ai jamais pris ce film pour un film d'horreur bizarrement (ce n'est pas un film d'animation non plus en passant)
A symphony in itself!! I can hear lots of Arnold Bax's magic in this (especially at 34:00), some Vaughan Williams, and I love that for the Mystics (UrRu), he uses Holsts' mystic Neptune from the Planets as a model. The non-orchestral sounds are used excellently and exactly where required. But enough of my music student's enthusiasm... This is a truly magical score, and like the film it accompanies, is one of its kind. I love. xxxxx
I just updated the description with the song names and times they approximately START playing at. You should be able to click on the time to go to that point in the video.
Swietna muzyka. Momentem, troszeczke przypomina muzyke do pozniejszych filmow z serii Harry Potter(chodzi mi o dtuga czesc utworu wstepnego do filmu). Ale ogolnie, film i muzyka sa genialne. Tak samo, jak serial i muzyka do serialu.
I am sad we are never getting a sequel to this film. Of course without the original people at the helm it's hard to imagine something topping this. I think a sequel could be done reusing the original soundtrack, but I would like to see someone with a futurist mindset that centralizes the creature shop muppets (instead of just relying on CGI) give it a go. I always get chills listening to the OST.
Guess what fuck nuggets the announcement has came dark crystal 2 is coming and they showed a quick sneak peek at the characters and new puppet technology
Yeah it's up there lol, it's blocked in most countries though. Here is the link /watch?v=Mk_LowjuPB4 It will probably just show as not available though.
What was it about 1982? it was my birth year and so many neat movies came out that year like Blade Runner, Star Trek II, The Thing, ET, Tron, Conan the Barbarian, Rocky III, First Blood, The Dark Crystal, The Last Unicorn, The Secret of NIMH, The Flight of Dragons, Creepshow, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Tenebre and so much more.
I wondered if it was new actually Great work there. But I noticed a good chunk of music that went with the fortress transformation collapse scene is missing. Do you know if the full piece will be released at any point on a complete edition CD?
It sounds quite a bit different in places from the version I have. I guess this isn't the original "film version". still amazing though, and definitely one of Trevor Jones best scores.
So I spent several hours working on the second CD video and uploaded it, which took 5 hours. Well NBC has claimed copyright and blocked the video in USA and Canada only......fucking stupid morons.
😭 But why do they always block the good music from coming into the USA?! 😭 Thanks for trying though. I was a little girl when I saw the original debut of this film in the theaters. Super duper magical & fabulous! Take care.
Spotify doesn’t have this album anymore so I’m glad to find this! 🙏🏻
Why doesn’t Spotify have this cool soundtrack anymore? Not enough fans to support it?
They need to release the whole dang soundtrack 😢
2025
This album is timeless. It transports you to 80’s fantasy land.
NO. 20:25 - 21:20 make you want to cry! You really do not ever hear scores like this any more.
I ALWAYS cry in this part. One of the 10 best soundtracks EVER.
I can't believe the whole playlist was deleted from UA-cam, what the hell? I'm so glad you were able to preserve this masterpiece for everyone to listen to!
Aww, the Landstriders theme! I always wanted one of those when I was a kid, and I felt so bad for them. Also, if your toes aren't tappin' to the pod people music, you're not alive!
i'm alive dont you?
This soundtrack is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Seeing the whole movie in my head just by listening to this. 💖 how nostalgic ☺🙏

Awesome information to share man.
Shit now I gotta find a Morrowind mod to have the Dark crystal soundtrack lol
Leo Balladares haha but you can put your desired Dark Crystal tracks in your "explore music" folder and experience the 80's fantasy feeling I think Todd Howard really wanted us to experience.
man what happened to the movie industry. There's no magic in it at all anymore. I freaking love this movie
Seen the prequel?
We lost Jim Henson
Leftists happened
Still one of the greatest soundtrack ever!
Indeed and Jones's best score eh?
Hell Yes!
Yes: This one and 'My Neighbor Totoro'. These are the best OSTs ever (IMHO).
Yes. Very underrated.
I tell ya from 13:54 to 14:26 makes me want to cry.
Master.. MASTER 😭
One of the most underrated film scores ever.
I AGREE! 100%
Masterful score
I'm so fucking mad they took this off Spotify
I recorded this on VHS now I'm going to buy this on DVD I really love this movie Jim Henson was ahead of his time with this. Thank you Jim for giving us a great and wonderful movie that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
Tiffany Days Don't bother get the bluray: www.amazon.com/The-Dark-Crystal-Blu-ray-Henson/dp/B0016BWACI
I forgot about that you do get more special features on blueray.
Tiffany Days And the transfer is amazing quality, much better than the DVD.
I have a book too, and I have the record soundtrack of the movie and a book with a mini record that narrates the story. As for 3D I think they're going overboard with everything in 3D.
Mn
Masterpiece, magnificent masterpiece 💜💜

I'll be re-uploading this video again, with the song names in the video. Also working on the second CD with all the song names on that one too.

Listening to this as I read the new Power of the Dark Crystal comic book based on the unused script sequel.

I just updated the description with the song names and times they approximately START playing at. You should be able to click on the time to go to that point in the video.

They're making a Netflix series.
Guess what fuck nuggets the announcement has came dark crystal 2 is coming and they showed a quick sneak peek at the characters and new puppet technology
9:04 is my favorite
je n'avais que 5 ans mais j'avais été transporter par ce film, il me faisait très peur aussi, my first horror movie xD ( i was 5 years old )
Idem ! Je regarde ce film encore des années après, et je suis toujours en extase ! :D
31:55 skip to 32:09 in cd1
8:13 and 11:04 are beautiful, calm, and somewhat nostalgic songs to me
The Mystics/UrRu have really nice songs
Thank you, description updated :)
I used to play RISK to this soundtrack.
That's because this is the Soundtrack. The one you're thinking of is in another video I uploaded. Disc 2
31:35 Jen heals the crystal?
great soundtrack
Yeah it's up there lol, it's blocked in most countries though. Here is the link /watch?v=Mk_LowjuPB4
It will probably just show as not available though.
Check the video description, I've made the second disc video available for download. Get it while you can.

There were 'landstriders' in mad max: fury road. I like to think george miller paid homage to henson for that idea :)
+Moni D Totally!
Yup this movie is an influential movie
Oh, what a crystal! What a lovely crystal!
I wondered if it was new actually Great work there. But I noticed a good chunk of music that went with the fortress transformation collapse scene is missing. Do you know if the full piece will be released at any point on a complete edition CD?
Yes those pieces are on the second cd. I guess I could upload that one too
I just love the pod dance music! Anyone know what kind of music it is?
It's made to sound Medieval.
I can't remember where I found these....I'll look around and see if I still have the flac files.
I love listening to this soundtrack more than watching the actual film.
What do you think of the prequel and labyrinth?
@@Johnlindsey289 The prequel show was visually stunning but I thought it was kind of boring in parts
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR
What do you think of Henson's other fantasy Labyrinth? do you think both Dark Crystals are no where near Labyrinth?
de toute beauté!!!!
9:04
It sounds quite a bit different in places from the version I have. I guess this isn't the original "film version". still amazing though, and definitely one of Trevor Jones best scores.
Btw, where is disk 2? U got it uploaded right?
The Pod Dance doesn't start at 17:31 . It starts at 17:13 :)
it will help 4 the song names 2 be on there 2... soo i can look them up =D
I'm looking into it :)
Yeah:
Audio content administered by:
NBC Universal
That would be brilliant. ;)
I'm thinking of Morrowind right now....
I think Morrowind is very much inspired by this movie.
Bad Ass !!
minuto 17.10empieza lo mejor.
So I spent several hours working on the second CD video and uploaded it, which took 5 hours. Well NBC has claimed copyright and blocked the video in USA and Canada only......fucking stupid morons.

Thanks for trying though. I was a little girl when I saw the original debut of this film in the theaters. Super duper magical & fabulous! Take care.
Sorry but this soundtrack is far superior to the OST of Age of Resistance. A real orchestra sounds better than a computer, any day.
They're also REALLY expensive!
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!
