Alien: Romulus (limited 2LP soundtrack)

It can't be overstated how successful ALIEN: ROMULUS and its score are in every way in bringing longtime fans back to the world that Ridley Scott, Dan O'Bannon, Jerry Goldsmith (and so many other brilliant artists) created in 1979. But spend just a few minutes with Benjamin Wallfisch's masterful score and you can feel the attention to detail in every single selection. With the impossible task of bridging the gap between the sequels and their predecessors, Wallfisch takes the dissonant, atonal and truly horrifying soundscapes that Goldsmith used to define the genre and makes his peace with the melodies and monsters of the films that followed - all the while making his own voice heard and creating a truly remarkable piece of film music.
