    Such a great soundtrack! The '80s were a dark time for soundtracks for children's films, with either too much of it excised, or lots of pop music added to it that wasn't even in the movie in an attempt to broaden the market. The soundtrack for The Dark Crystal respects the child as a valuable consumer, giving him or her the actual music they want, plus a full-sized poster and a tactile embossed cover. It's well mastered and sounds pretty good! The string sections are a bit shmaltzy here and there, but for an almost 40-year soundtrack, it comes off as being rather timeless.
