Everytime, i hear that end song it makes me cry. the movie was excellant and so is the music. one of john carpenter's best movies and jack nitzche's best scores. i remember seeing this in theatres as a kid and it was graet and it still is. the soundtarck is short but if you love the music and movie its worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Soundtrack to a Nice Movie, August 28, 2008

This review is from: Starman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

1984 really wasnt a bad year was it..well at least movie wise. There was a slew of good movies; The Never Ending Story, The Karate Kid, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Gremlins, Amadeus, The Terminator...and last but not least STARMAN. I loved STARMAN when I first watched the movie on HBO back in the 80's. I loved the concept of Starman; the glowing spheres, the spaceship, the... loss and resurrection of love, the... undying message of hope, and (as always) the everlasting theme of peace. Basically, what I just typed can be summed up in the brilliant score by Jack Nitzsche. "Starman Main Theme" IS one of the most uplifting themes ever recorded. The rest of the score fits this movie like a glove. All the movie's themes are represented, all the emotion is CAPTURED.
Even if you havent seen S T A R M A N, give this soundtrack a try; its a great listening experience.

This review is from: Starman: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This a very special CD which features a very beatiful melody, such as profund as enigmatic. Actually it was because of it that I bought the album. Starman Leaves/End titles could be rated as STARMAN theme, but I'd rather like you to get you own opinion if you have the oportunity to get it. The Whole music is in such a similar style as Vangelis and Alan Parson's Project and others New Age Composers, if I'm allowed to say it so.

Nevertheless, it has a little peculiarity: it features a 30-minute play, aproximately. Worth not buying if you expect to listen to a Brandenburg Concertos like play.

Mr. Bridges and Mrs. Allen participation in this album makes it as special as Mr. Nitzche talent to make it real. But of course, Mr. Bridges should never take seriously a singer career.

Some tracks I recommend: No. 2 Here come the Helicopters; No. 6 Pickup Truck; No. 8 All I have to do is Dream (very good music arragement, by the way); and of course No. 14 Starman Leaves/End Titles, a melody I consider as an Hymn.
