Battle Beyond The Stars – 2 x CD Complete Score – Special Edition – James Horner

Description

James Horner`s debut major score to the hit 1980 sci-fi movie, Battle Beyond The Stars. Following the huge success of Star Wars, sci fi space operas were in high demand. Even though the budget was considerably less than Star Wars, the entertainment value was just as high. Roger Corman was an expert in utilising low budgets to achieve a polished look and always nearly succeeded. James Horner was introduced to the world of sci fi and what followed was a taste of what was to come from such a talented composer. Krull, Star Trek II, The Hand, Wolfen etc are all great works, but prehaps most importantly this score was to really show what talent such a young composer had. This 2CD complete recordings manages to provide a true masterwork from Horner, cues and alternates never heard before but simply a stunning achievement nonetheless. Another smash release from LSScores.
