The Nostromo

by Aphotic Apathy

supported by

Death By Neon Great attempt to "rescore" Ridley Scott's masterpiece Alien. This is definitely a different take than both Jerry Goldsmith original and alternate score but not in a bad way. Of course Goldsmith stay Goldsmith and nothing can be stronger than one his best work ever, but this is really an interesting attempt to. Looks closely like a cross between Tomandandy's 47 Meters Down and Howard Shore's The Brood or Scanners that definitely feet to the story. Two thumbs up. Favorite track: Awaken.

...headkrash!!! ....sehr, sehr cool!!!

...sich an Foster, Scott & Giger zu wagen, ohne einen Mythos anzubohren - dazu gehört schon was!!!

ABER:

Annähernd perfekt adaptiert mit sehr gut abgepasster, stimmiger und nachvollziehbarer, toller Atmosphäre...

...EXTREM gut gelungen!!!

Das Album (dazu gehört auch das sehr gelungene Cover!!!) geht fast als der BESSERE Original-Soundtrack durch!!

(Und ich erinnere mich beim hören immer "gern" an 1979 zurück, als ich mit knapp 13 völlig verstört ausm Kino kam....;-)) Favorite track: Signal.

Richard Richard Intelligent re-imagining of the ALIEN universe

Jesper Mikkelsen Fantastic alternative soundtrack to one of the greatest films ever made! This ambient recording will put you right into the Alien/Prometheus universe! Highly recommendable, and so is the other recordings of this great artist!!

SHANESAW i cannot begin to tell you how amazing this collection is.As I am obsessed with the original Alien film and its universe this is my soundtrack into that world.This guy "gets it" check out all of his other albums as well.Highest praises.

about

The crew of The Nostromo consists of seven people from various fields. They include Captain Dallas, Warrant Officer Ripley, Navigator Lambert, Engineering Technician Brett, Executive Officer Kane, Science Officer Ash, and Chief Engineer Parker. All awoken by "Mother" the computer mainframe that served aboard The Nostromo. Mother also operated many of the ship's background systems, and auto-piloted the vessel while the crew were in hypersleep.

Before the crew awoke, Mother partially decoded a unidentified warning signal that started emanating from LV-426, Mother awoke the crew from hypersleep to investigate and hopefully recover a potential parasitoid specimen from a derelict ship located on the moon.. Unbeknownst to the crew.. except one member Science Officer Ash who was given a classified retrieval order by Weyland-Yutani, Special Order 937: Which ensured the retrieval and survival of a sample specimen of the species located on LV-426, and stipulated that this task superseded all other priorities, even the safety and survival of the crew.

This album will take you through a Dark Ambiance of the events that occurred pertaining to the crew of The USCSS Nostromo and what they discovered and recovered back to The Nostromo leading to it's untimely destruction.

❤️A dark ambient masterpiece which perfectly captures the essence of Lovecraft's body of work as well as this entity in particular. So much grandeur, mystery, and eeriness with both soothing and maddening textures. Highly recommended! Plushie Fanatic

This music successfully captures the sensory atmosphere that every work of Cosmic Horror endeavors to induce. Spiritual and philosophical awe encircles a doomful enlightenment. The blanket of psychic pressure rises, like a swampy tide, as we're consumed into the fathomless mind of the cephalopod god. ia, ia, fhtagn, dude. davidthekane
