Can't believe someone finally *gets it* with regards to the artistry of the entire body of artistic work that makes "The Dark Crystal" such an ever-growing timeless classic and finally releases the soundtrack by Trevor Jones. No thanks to the Disney corporation under the Eisner regime which bought up Jim Hensen's body of work and then let this gem languish in obscurity for years.
Till this release I'd been listening to an audio cassette made from the original LP record of the soundtrack ( only played once for that purpose and thus in *pristine* condition BTW ). Now the entire soundtrack is joyfully playing on my computer whilst I work through iTunes.
Let me say straight out that I grew up on clasical symphonic music and the only other music that caught my imagination as newer symphonic music was by way of film soundtracks. I would draw pictures while listenting to my parents' stereo system and, to this day , I *always* listen to *instrumental music* while illustrating , now with a 12" X 18" digital pen & tablet at my oak drawing board , and *the Dark Crystal* film soundtrack is yet one of the key soundtracks , along with dozens of others , that I regualrly return to for artistic *inspiration*.
As a direct result of my love of contemporary symphonic music in the form of film soundtracks I always keep one ear open on any new music when I view a film for the first time. That said I *knew* I wanted "The Dark Crystal" the very frist time I heard it while in the movie theatre for its first showing. It stands alone as music on its own and never fails to take you away to someplace else whenever you play it. It's a welcome addition to my musical pallette and can't recommend it enough. Listening to it in its entirety is lke getting lost in a tale of wonderous fantasy the way one gets lost in a good book to the ppoint where the printed words dissappear as the mind's eye theatre takes over.
