The Robert Zemeckis 1992 adaptation of famed astronomer Carl Sagan's sometimes muddled novel about human interface with extraterrestrials was admirable for its deft, artistic handling of the story's elusive spirituality and metaphysical vagaries. While composer Alan Silvestri doesn't quite reach the heights of John Williams's Close Encounters of the Third Kind here, he does provide a fine emotional underpinning for often intangible intellectual elements. The composer also provides a memorable main theme that bolsters audience empathy for Jodie Foster's often conflicted lead character; the best yet from Silvestri, clearly a talent to reckon with. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music; powerful, insightful, wonderous.

I love the movie "Contact." It almost perfectly reproduced the feelings of the book by Carl Sagan, and was overall a wonderful production. But I found that one of the best parts of the movie was the music! Alan Silvestri did an excellent job capturing the same feelings of mystery and wonderment and humility that the movie expressed perfectly. And he also perfectly complimented the exciting and almost scary parts of the movie ("Good to Go"). Essentially, he joined every scene in the film with just the right music. Beautiful music, exciting music, powerful music. Absolutely wonderful. Not "just good" as some have said, but absolutely wonderful. This is one of the most underrated movie soundtracks I have heard, yet it has no reason to be. It is simplistic sometimes, but it is meant to be, and it works; just like the film.

Very well done music. Enjoyable to listen to apart from watching the film. I am a great Alan Silvestri fan and he certainly does not disappoint with this soundtrack. Style is clever, as usual, and music is very powerful at times. A great disc.

This soundtrack brings back the memories of watching the movie in real time. I like the fact that it is all music and no voices. However I was expecting more of the main theme to be interspersed throughout the soundtrack

The soundtrack revolves around the main theme, one that reminds the listener of the emotional journey for the main character.

90年代洋画の温かい雰囲気を見事に醸し出している。
フォレストガンプ、BTFと同じアランシルヴェストリが作曲なので、その旋律は人間の温かみや幸せに満ちたものである。
90年代の「フォレストガンプ」「パッチアダムス」「グッドウィルハンティング」などのスコアが好きな人におすすめ。
