Today FX and Hollywood Records 
released Alien: Earth (Original Soundtrack), the companion soundtrack to the first of the Alien franchise to take place on Earth. While introducing new elements, Emmy-winning composer Jeff Russo also pays homage to the scores from the first two films, maintaining the eerie and tense atmosphere of the original, as well as the feeling of propulsion found in the second film.
The series, staying true to the foundation of Ridley Scott’s original creation from 1979, breathes fresh intrigue into the lore. The stakes are high with the setting placed on Earth where the battle against the alien monsters and struggle for humanity will be epic. Russo says of his score, “I used voices along with real instruments to humanize the score where you might not feel human. One of the things I was trying to do was to find the connection between alien, human and hybrid and express that in the score, all while staying in the tonality of those first two films.”
ABOUT ALIEN: EARTH
When the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth, “Wendy” (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.
