The Andromeda Strain (1971) – Gil Melle, Intrada Special Collection Vol. 121 (320)

… the score immediately drones into infernal, circuit-board life, a textured landscape that avoids being white-noise by virtue of skilful manipulation, high-tech sophistication and pure alien design. This unusual strand of avant-garde musicality will become the norm across the entire album, yet as much as it is chillingly machine-like and emotionless, it is also eerily captivating with its unstoppable and thickly smothering folds of sound, impressions and tonal colours. … For the tech-minded amongst you, the production of the album is extremely robust and consistently detailed, stemming from a direct lift from the masters. The stereo spread is wide and tremendously vivid, creating an image that is continually vibrant and lively. This is precisely the kind of score that promotes the qualities of an ear-flicking sound design simply because there are so many unusual nuances that spring up within it. – Chris McEneany (http://www.avforums.com/movies/The-Andromeda-Strain-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack-Review-USA-CD-Reviewed-Mar-2010.html)

Hard to imagine that Gil Melle experimented with this kind
of electronic music (synthesizers and drum machines) in 1970.
The result is fantastic!
Thank you very much, Ribonucleic and WildwoodPark.

Hello. I would appreciate the links to this score. Many thanks in advance.

I like it, thank you.

A brilliant film, but it would be great to hear the music by itself. Thanks in advance

I think Gil Melle is more well know for his work on Night Gallery and this score also has the same kind of electronic sound, so thanks!
