Everytime I listen to this score I forget just how silly the source movie really was. Goldsmith can work musical wonders with any concept and he has graced various quality movies with some of the greatest scores in and out of the SF genre. Anyone interested in collecting good monster movie music needs to have this disc in their collection. Underwater Camp alone is worth the full retail price. I heard that in the theater and knew that I was going to own the soundtrack. Way to go Jerry!

In typical Goldsmith fashion Jerry put more creative energy into his score than the filmmakers did in making the movie. This score is a mixture of orchestral and subtle electronics put together in excellent arrangements. Skip the movie, just buy the score.

This original soundtrack of Jerry Goldsmith is one of my favorite soundtrack, the music is so particulary well compose and conduct by the master of the cinema music

When people says Jerry's music is great, It's not a joke.... I heard that soudtrack begin to disappear, and bought it quickly. In this, Jerry made interesting electronic sound and good ochestral music. "Underwater camp" (what a good Whale call it was!) and "A lot Better" is good track.

The First and Last tracks are the prizes here. The other 11 worked wonderfully in the film, but outside that context, as background music, don't do very well. Interestingly enough, a track from a Japanese cartoon called "Record of the Lodoss Wars" features a track called "Knight of Lodoss," which bears a remarkable similarity to "A lot Better." I'm sure it's just coincidence that the cartoon came out a year after "Leviathan."
