Elliot Goldenthal’s highly underrated score to the sci-fi movie from 1998, Sphere. Regarded as a mediocre film which had some interesting ideas, but the tedious pacing left it feeling very underwhelming. However the score was once again composed by Elliot Goldenthal (Alien 3, Batman & Robin, Demotion Man), who really shone though here with a very stylish and classy score. Goldenthal is on the most part an excellent composer and orchestrates nearly perfectly with each score. This 2CD edition now comprises the entire score running over 114mins. Superb!
