5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best, November 19, 1998

Ridley Scott's Legend has had an interesting history. Not only did he have footage removed for his American release, but he also had two soundtracks. This fascinating Jerry Goldsmith score was used for Europe, but unfortunately not in the US. This is a real shame because his music is so vibrant and beautiful. Most of the music has synthesizer tones, while accompanied by instruments. However, his pieces also have lavish chiors. When you hear the first track, you will probably be hooked. He gave alot of effort here and it clearly shows. Another plus to the soundtrack, is its length; there is over 70 minutes of beautiful music here! It could be argued that his compositions are close to his Secret of Nimh and the OMEN III scores, which is true, but this score is so much better. If you can, listen to clips before buying because this cd is only available as an import.

I have grown up with the US version of the movie Legend and have become rather adamant about finding the European version and it's soundtrack. Now that I have found it (yaaay! ) I was wondering if anyone could help me find a copy of the European of the film? I would greatly appriciate it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goldsmith made Legend HUGE!!!!!!!!,Part two, October 13, 2000

I want to point out a couple things Jerry Goldsmith`s Legend.Some people may think the voices in Legend sounds like Danny Elfman`s in his scores.Well when Goldsmith made this Elfman just started out but I have nothing against Elfman and he made some very good soundtracks also its just that Jerry Goldsmith is MY favorite.Also,I would not compare Goldsmith`s and Tangerine Dreams` versions of Legend because for one their both good and both are different sounding music.Neither is greater than each other.Lets face it,how many soundtracks have two different versions with two different music masters?Another thing is that when you listen to track eight(8) the faerie dance,it will most likely become your favorite on the soundtrack because it easily became MINE!It is one of Jerry Goldsmith`s best tracks he has ever done!
