3 stars This music is iconic. Just as the movie is. The movie and the music are one. As a soundtrack, it is one of the best ever.

But does it hold up to its own? Frankly, I can't tell. Because I am a fan of the movie. So I will always have the movie in mind when listening to this album. Or reading the track titles. I'm spoiled by the movie when listening to this music.

As an experience of reliving the movie, I highly recommend this soundtrack. The music is of high quality and engaging to set the right scene. As a music piece, it is good. But nothing extraordinary in my book.

Reviewing this as a piece of music, I can't push it above 3 stars. It is good, but certainly not essential for prog fans. And this is a prog site after all.
