A memorable soundtrack Mar 11 2004
Format:Audio CD
A lot of the success of the feature film should be attributed to this soundtrack. It ends up more memorable than the film itself. A must have! Definitely filled with many great pieces.

The song list appears to be rather: this is not entirely the case. While there are many songs on this CD that are substantial, many are rather short. Often these short pieces would be cut from a soundtrack album: it is commendable that they were included, even considering their length.

Overall, a great purchase for fans of good music (even if they don't like sci-fi, or the movie). No sci-fi synth effects here!

Since I first heard this soundtrack, I can't stop listening to it. Amazing music! Also the TV series' music is very good (same theme)!

Simply incredible Feb 22 2003
Format:Audio CD
This was David Arnold's score that got him into the big time. In short, it is absolutely outstanding. "Stargate Overture" begins with ominous sounding orchestral music, leading to an epic 7 note motif, which leads into a chorus chanting in a language that I can't understand. "Giza, 1928" begins with Egyptian-like sounds and tom-toms, reminding me somewhat of Jerry Goldsmith's The Mummy. This then leads to an incredible choral section, which is one of those film music moments that really stands out. "Orion" and "You're On The Team" contains military march based strings and percussion. "The Stargate Opens" is another incredible cue with lots of great orchestral things going on. "Entering the Stargate" starts out lovely and then segues into ominous string passages, leading up to going in the stargate. "Mastadge Drag" is a quick tempo version of the main theme that is fun and adventurous at the same time. "The Mining Pit" contains a great male voice choir and "Caravan to Nagada" contains a wonderful rendition of the main theme after a huge gong crash. "Leaving Nagada" contains heavy percussion and "Battle At The Pyramid" is a great action cue. "Going Home" ends the score with one, final rendition of the main theme ending in a powerful fashion. The first half of the score really stands out, while the middle section drags somewhat, and the finale is tremendous. A highly recommended score!

Much better than the composer's "Bond" work
Having been the composer for all of the Pierce Bronson "Bond" films, it appears that Arnold has taken John Barry's place. Read more

The tracks herein correspond exactly to those in the Special Edition DVD version of the film - none of that 're-recorded to get a musically superior version' nonsense. Read more

This soundtrack was simply amazing, I doubt the movie would have been very great had this magnificent score not intertwined with the plot and action scenes so fluidly. Read more

All right, so it's a silly movie....
There are plot holes in *Stargate* through which you could pilot a fleet of galumphing great Doc-Smithian space dreadnaughts, and I know I *should* be making snotty comments left,... Read more

"Ben-Hur" meets "Star Wars"
One of the best parts of the sci-fi adventure film "Stargate" was David Arnold's superb musical score. Read more

Amazing!
Powerful, stirring, and romantic. A cross between Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia. I don't own many many movie scores, but I'm so glad I bought this one. Play it LOUD!

One of the best scores composed by David Arnold
Stargate is David's first score for a hollywood film and does a good job at it as well. Stargate is very much like Independence Day with its brassy action sequences but isn't... Read more
