Lost in Space
The summer of 1998 heralded the big screen debut of one of television's most classic science-fiction shows: Irwin Allen's Lost in Space. The saga of the space family Robinson unfolds when a saboteur sneaks aboard the Jupiter 2 with the intent of destroying the mission and is unwittingly trapped aboard during takeoff. While the destruction of the Jupiter 2 is averted, enough damage is done to send the space ship hurtling through space on an unknown course. Starring William Hurt, Gary Oldman, and Mimi Rogers, Lost in Space made a spectacular premiere last summer. To give Lost in Space a sound that would capture the incredible on-screen adventures, composer Bruce Broughton (Silverado, Tombstone) created a major, epic score. With grand orchestral splendor for the launch of the Jupiter 2 from Earth, aggressive dissonance in the action scenes, and a rich palette of symphonic color throughout, Broughton has made the Robinson's world a spectacular soundscape. A soundtrack album released on another label at the time of the film's premiere included a collection of rock songs and a suite of excerpts from the Broughton score. This new edition provides a comprehensive recording of Broughton's score, totaling 67 minutes -- all stunningly played by the Sinfonia Of London.
