Featured with this week’s release of Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey (Volume 1) by veteran Alan Silvestri is the composer’s action-packed 2-CD soundtrack to Judge Dredd, the 1995 original starring Sylvester Stallone. The former showcases Silvestri using his orchestra to create a rich, evocative musical world of history, science and the galaxies. The latter simply unleashes the orchestra in a muscular display of grim futuristic action. Both scores were recorded in London, with Cosmos recorded by Simon Rhodes and mixed by Dennis Sands and Dredd helmed fully by Sands. Intrada has released a number of Alan Silvestri soundtracks, including some of his most famous. The two within this paragraph are further examples of his melodic ingenuity, riveting excitement and powerful command of the orchestra!
