Logan’s Run Film Soundtrack (1976)

by G. Jack Urso

From the Aeolus 13 Umbra YouTube channel.

Released along with the film Logan’s Run (1976), the film soundtrack album by Jerry Goldsmith captures the futuristic ambiance of the film. Although it has elements of ambient and electronica music, best heard in such tracks as  The Dome and Love Shop, it doesn’t quite fit neatly into either genre because it is constrainted by the cinematic needs of the film. The lush orchestrations in such tracks as The Monument and the Love Theme from Logan’s Run pull the soundtrack away from pure ambient or electronica. Nevertheless, the soundtrack also displays Goldsmith’s uncanny ability to shift expertly from genre to genre. From the sci-fi soundings of Logan’s Run, to the Earthly mysterious, and sometimes discordant, sound bed to Planet of the Apes, the epic themes for the Star Trek movie franchise, or the country folk music from the theme to The Waltons, Goldsmith was one of the most versatile, if underrated, film composers of his era.
