The original movie from 1981 was well written and directed by Wolfgang Petersen and based on the novel by Lothar G buchheim. The soundtrack was written by the legendary Klaus Doldinger and is one of my favourite soundtracks and really carries the movie and sets the scene. In 1992 a decade later, the German Techno group U96 released their take on the theme it and whilst not initially a fan it grew on me over the years. 

When I started writing this track, it was going to be a new soundtrack for the movie, not because anyone asked for this, but because its good practice when commissions are in short supply, to pick on a project just because you can. This project has always been on the list.

The music has evolved significantly from its early orchestral basis into a pseudo techno/edm track with an attempt to bring a little of U96's magic. If you like it, let me know, if not, then also let me know.
