Sharing period on the FLAC link has ended.
One of the last big-budget theatrical movies that the distinguished Hollywood composer
Bruce Broughton worked on before he restricted himself (or was being restricted)
to scoring TV movies and DTV Disney features in the 2000s. Hence, this is one of the "final"
traditional symphonic space opera scores (outside of the Star Trek/Star Wars universes) before
Hansi and his gang took over and ruined, err, changed the face of, film music forever(?!).
A 320k mp3 version has been available on ffshrine since 2011, but this is my own rip from
the original CD, fresh out of the oven. The original FLAC rip, which is available upon request in this
thread, includes the EAC log, hi-def front-, back cover and disc scans plus the booklet (PDF).

"Back in 1998, one of the summer movies released was a feature film adaptation of the hit
television show "Lost In Space". The production was wrought with problems - cast members came
and went, and then when it came to post production, the film composers came and went. First Jerry
Goldsmith, then Mark Isham, and finally veteran film composer Bruce Broughton was tapped to score
this sci-fi action film.
Broughton is one of those film composers that know how to take advantage of an orchestra, without
resorting to synthesized effects. With a sneaky oboe theme for the evil Dr. Smith, a large fanfare for
the Robinson family, and others, this is without a doubt a very thematic score. Towards the beginning
of the movie, when the Jupiter II spacecraft is hurtling towards the sun (and oblivion), Broughton
expertly uses the orchestra to convey the necessary building tension while using the major
themes from the movie.
One of my favorite tracks is "Robot Attack", which features some very fast driving string work
accentuated by brass hits as Robot tries to destroy the Robinson family, and cripples the ship.
Dr. Smith's theme shows up at the appropriate moments as well. Later on in the film, when the
Jupiter II comes across the remains of the rescue ship (it's a rather interesting plot involving time
travel), Broughton presents us with some very sad and ominous music - we know something bad
is going to happen, but we just don't know what. This 10-minute track, "Spiders" includes all of
the music on the rescue ship, including the very tense spider attack. "Will's Time Machine" has
some very powerful chord sequences, all layered with an ominous, yet wondrous, air.
"Through The Planet" allows us to revisit those wonderful fast driving strings which we
first heard in "Robot Attack".
Lost in Space is one of those very thematic scores that seems to have written itself after the
initial themes were worked out. Broughton came up with some very interesting character pieces,
and then depending on the scene he was scoring, brought them together in the appropriate
way. The romantic cues are soft and sweet, the action cues are full and engrossing. With a
running time of 66:54 and released on the Intrada label, this CD is well worth getting - it is
just a shame that in the end, the film wasn't as good as everyone hoped it would be. But with a
new life on video and DVD, hopefully people will find this score worthy of adding to
their collection."
