Jerry Goldsmith - Legend

Prolific and era-defining, the award-winning Jerry Goldsmith scored an array of landmark films in the latter half of the 20th century, among them sci-fi (Alien, Total Recall), horror (The Omen, Poltergeist) and action thrillers (Rambo: First Blood). Reuniting with Alien director Ridley Scott for the 1985 fantasy adventure film Legend, starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara and Tim Curry, Goldsmith produced a career-peak work which was almost never heard after the film�s producers demanded the movie be recut for US audiences. Appearing in the original European release of the movie, but replaced overseas with a new score by German electronic pioneers Tangerine Dream, Goldsmith�s original Legend soundtrack has become much sought-after by fans, with cues such as The Goblins and The Riddle finding the composer at his dramatic, fantastical best. Later restored for the director�s cut of the film, Goldsmith�s score now stands, like Legend itself, as a true cult classic from the 1980s.
