Many of the songs lean on dynamic musical changes to keep listeners uneasy, and to mirror the chaos that can be found in certain scenes. The music itself is on par with other sci-fi epics, featuring heavy strings and long notes to create an aura of heightened suspense. Which has kicked up an unsubstantiated rumor that Eno had actually written an entire score before Toto was brought in.

On an interesting side note, there is one track on the official soundtrack, “Prophecy Theme,” that is composed by Brian Eno. Since the music is mostly instrumental, the lead singer was left out of the recording, but the band brought in the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna Volksoper Choir to create the final product. With a reboot on the way that promises an even more sensational soundtrack, it seems like a good time to compare what was, and what will be.Īlthough it is not a secret, some fans may be surprised to learn that the band Toto of “Africa” fame wrote the score to the 1984 version of the movie. One aspect of the original film that is not discussed enough is its epic score, and how it came from one of the most unlikely sources.

Some people loved it some thought it strayed too far from the source material, and others were so burned out by the cultural boom in science fiction - brought on by the Star Wars saga - that they did not even bother watching it.
