Deluxe STARGATE soundtrack due from Varese Sarabande

By Randall D. Larson     July 26, 2006

When a mysterious woman makes Professor Daniel Jackson (James Spader) an offer he can't refuse, he ends up in a secret Air Force military base. His mission: to decode an ancient Egyptian artifact known as the Stargate.

The mission leader, Colonel Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell), a tough military man with nerves of steel, commands their trip through the Stargate to an ancient civilization on the other side of the universe. But once there, they must battle the astoundingly powerful Sun God, Ra (Jaye Davidson), before they can find their way back home.

The original film that spawned not one but two TV series receives The Deluxe Edition treatment in this newly mastered and expanded special soundtrack release. For STARGATE, composer David Arnold delivered the score that garnered him the international acclaim that ultimately led to projects like INDEPENDENCE DAY and the latest three installments of the James Bond franchise (TOMORROW NEVER DIES, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH and DIE ANOTHER DAY). STARGATE is an enormous score using huge orchestral forces to recapture the spirit and adventure of the great action films of the past.
