This was the double LP Grammy winning album that launched the incredibly influential Star Wars movie franchise. Composed by John Williams the Main Title would provide him with a US No.10 hit. (US:2)
“The greatest movie soundtrack ever made. There's no getting past how incredible this music is. In fact, the music was a fairly big part of the reason the movie was so popular in the first place.”
“Hard not to give this an insanely high rating, because it's the sound of my childhood. What struck me as much as anything was the legitimacy that Williams' score gave the film. Any other composer would have been drawn in by the sci-fi and the futuristic setting and rely too heavily on what they thought was futuristic music.”
“The Star Wars Theme is perhaps the most recognized movie theme of all time, and I'll even wager the greatest instrumental movie theme ever created. Leia's Theme is a calm and beautiful song, while Cantina Band is the perfect bar band song. Every song fits so perfectly with the movie.”
“Star Wars both in music and in film, has managed to create a separate universe from our own. It is probably one of the best films ever made and the music is also some of the best ever composed. You can feel the intensity and ample fear in the battles captured here.”
“This is probably the greatest soundtrack ever. For that matter, this is some of the greatest music of the 20th century. Excellent writing, especially the melodies, excellent orchestration, and the reintroduction of the old idea of the leitmotif.”
“With all the new movies, the spin-offs, the TV commercials and remixes, sometimes it's hard to remember just how powerful the very first, original movie's music was. This was a grand, epic soundtrack. You have the sweeping power of the main theme, and the most famous song of all Cantina Band. Each song has texture and meaning built into each note.”
