The 3 score tracks by Graeme Revell are quite forgettable, especially the 5 minutes long "Crash Landing". They are mostly typical techno type heavy electronic music. They don't appeal to me at all. I enjoy "Mars Red Planet" slightly because it has resemblance of Media Venture's music. Other than being a Peter Gariel or Sting fan, a reason why this CD is worth owning is actually the 4 songs Graeme Revell wrote for Emma Shapplin and Melissa Kaplan. They are songs like Lisa Gerrard's songs for The Gladiator. In other words, they are more like score than songs. This scoring approach is not unusual except that it is used in a space adventure/horror flick. The lyrics are not in English. In fact, they may not be in any existing language. The Enya like new age songs are very lyrical and enjoyale. They have mysterious feel but yet very beautiful and relaxing. I am not sure how they work in the movie but they certainly please me ears. Apparently, Graeme Revell scored a lot more music for the film than what are presented on the CD. It is unfortunate that it doesn't feature more of his orchestral effort (like "Alone").
