Great soundtrack where Pop/Rock meets common scoring.

"I fell in love with the movie the first time I saw it. Now, the same has happened when I first listened the movie's soundtrack-album. Composer Andrew Powell has teamed up with producer Alan Parsons and many of his fellow musicians from The Alan Parsons Project to create one of the best soundtracks ever heard. The music is a mixture between powerful 'rock' instrumentals which sound remarkably like APP, and a more common orchestral score, which is capable of expressing the different moods of the film (from dangerous, sad, to extremely romantic) extremely well. Furthermore, there are some really medieval sounding tracks on this CD, e.g. a gregorian chant. This music lets the listener re-experience the film in the mind, with all of its moods. What more could one possibly want from a soundtrack?!? The only weak track is the last one: 'Ladyhawke Theme: Single Version'. This must have been included due to purely commercial reasons, but I personally don't like the track and think that the first track (Main Title) would be a much better single from this album. Wrapping up: This album is an absolute must for fans of the movie and APP-fans alike. All others are invited to give it a try: they won't be disappointed."
Wonderfully unique

"I am a huge fan of the film Ladyhawke and ever since I first saw it I fell in love with the music. I looked around for the CD for a long time and was thrilled when I finally found the soundtrack last year. I listen to it alot and find the music so inspiring and beautiful. If you are a fan of ladyhawke then this CD is a must. To those of you who haven't seen the movie then I suggest you check it out, I'm sure you will end up buying the CD !"
Old favorite re-released

"This was one of my favorite LPs. The Alan Parsons Project recorded some brilliant scores for the movie, but I most appreciated that the music stood alone. Unlike many soundtrack releases that are just a collection of disjointed "songs from the movie", this soundtrack held together."
