Interesting Things with JC #1518: "The Original Alien Soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith" - Jerry Goldsmith's original Alien score was hopeful and exploratory until Ridley Scott's cuts turned it into chilling dread. Eerie alien wind effects and lost experimental cues survive on the 2007 Intrada release. This episode uncovers Goldsmith's iconic patient terror. Thank you to the legendary Wani for inspiring this episode.
