It came and went in the blink of an eye, but Intradas fantastic release of Alan Silvestris score for Predator is definitely worth hunting down. If you can trace the old Varese Sarabande edition or even one of the many bootlegs that are always floating about, then you are still in for a treat. This is gung-ho writing that strives to create an unstoppable percussive overdrive and, brimming with macho heroics and exciting set-pieces, offers orchestral testosterone aplenty. The themes have become iconic and the score is justifiably regarded as one of the best in the genre. Alan Silvestri would go on to compose many more wonderful action scores, all boasting the same passion for all-out bombast, rich orchestration and strong thematic wallop. Along with Back To The Future and Romancing The Stone, Predator was the soundtrack that made his name.
Well, okay, the disc vanished almost as soon as it went on sale, but this is something that fans who missed out will still be able to track down via the internet. It is not the ideal situation, of course, but we should all agree that it is better to have such limited releases coming along, than not to have them at all. Alan Silvestri's Predator is awesome in every sense of the word.
It came to Earth for the thrill of the hunt.
It may have picked the wrong man, but it sure picked the right music.
