Predator Soundtrack Alan Silvestri

PREDATOR
Music Composed and Conducted by Alan Silvestri

OK … finally … here it is! Perhaps the most famous and requested unreleased film score of the 1980s, Alan Silvestri’s Predator is at last available.

Everyone knows the story ... produced by Joel Silver and Lawrence Gordon and directed by John McTiernan, Predator (1987) starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Major Dutch, the leader of an elite commando unit assigned to recover hostages held by South American guerillas. But the team’s true nemesis is the alien hunter who stalks them, invisible, from the jungle roof. After a spectacular firefight in the guerilla encampment the alien begins eliminating the commandos one after another. Ultimately, Dutch must face the Predator alone. Stripped of his gear, Dutch fashions weapons and traps out of what the jungle offers. Meanwhile, the Predator prepares for the climactic battle by polishing his trophies—the skulls of his kills.

For Predator, Alan Silvestri fashioned a lethal weapon of his own. An expanded symphony orchestra with an enormous battery of percussion is shown off to spectacular effect in one of the most heart-stopping, adrenaline-pumping action scores of the time.

Despite emerging from the 80s as one of the biggest blockbusters of the decade, Predator never received a soundtrack release. Amidst this year’s sea of summer blockbusters, it seemed an appropriate time to end the wait of Predator fans around the world.
