The Ascension - James Horner

"The music's job is to get the audience so involved that they forget how the movie turns out."

THE POWER OF THREE: Track Five

Song: The Ascension
Composer: James Horner
Album: Cocoon OST
Quote: James Horner

The three greatest movie score composers of our age team up in THE POWER OF THREE! John Williams, James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith at their very best in fifteen different movies spanning back to 1980. Buckle Up.

So have you seen the movie Cocoon lately? Yeah, me neither. And then I found THIS.

"Disney (through 20th Century Studios) owns the film, but you can't watch it on streaming outlets due to music licensing rights the original producers never paid for future media distribution."

Right. So...they don't want the music to this movie played for some reason? I don't know. I don't care. Ready or not, here it is. This is some hardcore James Horner working the orchestra for all it's worth.
I really don't remember much about the movie at all, I think I saw it in the theater in 1985. Something about Space Aliens laying eggs in a pool in a nursing home. Oh yeah, and Steve Guttenberg and this alien chick have cosmic sex in a swimming pool without even touching each other. I for sure remember THAT. But the scene this awesome piece of music was written for eludes me, something about a ship rising out of the water. In the end it doesn't really matter. The Music always stands where the rest passes away. A remarkable achievement.
