5.0 out of 5 stars Where is the rest of the music?, January 27, 2001

This review is from: Explorers: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This soundtrack is great, especially track 1, but I found that much of the music from the movie was missing(good music too). For intance, the whole theme that is played when the thunder road is sinking at the end of the movie and the part right after that when they are at the tree and it is cloudy is missing from the soundtrack. That highly dissapointed me because I would gladly swap one of the other tracks for that music(such as track8). The songs with vocals are ok when watching the film but i wouldn't want to listen to them on their own. But be warned, if you like the music in the parts above(also when Dick Miller is searching for the thunder road), they aren't on this cd, but all in all its a good one.

5.0 out of 5 stars An overlooked masterpiece!, August 28, 1999

Do a quick internet search, and you'll see Academy Award winner Jerry Goldsmith's huge, ever-growing resume. Out of all of his brilliant work, this is my very favorite! The music, like the movie, is truly fantastic! Also of note: A portion of the first track, "The Construction," was utilized in first season commercials for the science-fiction television series "Sliders." (which featured explorers of a different sort) Whether you're a fan of the "Explorers" film, a long-time fan of "Sliders," or simply a fan of great musical scores, you should BUY THIS ALBUM!

5.0 out of 5 stars Childhood memories, October 13, 2002

The honest truth is, the movie itself is what I truely love. It is somehow ingrained into my youth. Being one of my favorite movies of all time, I have to have the soundtrack, mainly for track one, the construction. This song is played inside my head whenever I need motivation, or excitement. Owning the movie or soundtrack would be great for anyone who likes a good adventure film, (from the 80's).
