A nostalgic favorite with a neglected score

As with many Disney soundtracks (one of which this is not), this album has two sides: the songs, written and mostly performed by David Bowie in character as the Goblin King, and the score, written by Trevor Jones. Both are products of their time. The songs feel very 80s in some places, and the score is mostly synthesizer.

The songs function best, I think, as a souvenir of the movie for those who want such a thing. They get requested a lot here at SST, probably for their nostalgia value. If they have that for you, as they do for me, then you already know what you want to request, and you should have fun. “Underground,” the song played during the main titles, gets a great gospel arrangement in the final track.

But the score is not bad at all, and I think it is underplayed here. The main theme is a favorite of mine, and its best statement is in the “Opening Titles,” which makes a good blend between the vocal and score sides of the album. “Sarah” and “Home at Last” are very pretty, and there is dramatic tension in “Thirteen O’Clock.”

Request: “Opening Titles,” “Sarah,” and “Thirteen O’Clock.”
Avoid: “The Goblin Battle.” This track demands much from the synthesizers, and they’re not up to it.

Wonderful score that is way ahead of it's time

Great music. Comedy. Tragedy. Action. Suspense. What do all four of these items have in common? They are the classic ingredients for a wonderful score to a wonderful movie, that, for 1986, was well ahead of it's time.

This collaboration between Trevor Jones and David Bowie is like non other. Between Jones' fantasy score, and Bowie's performance as the Goblin King, writing and singing his own music, this is a one of a kind collaboration between two legendary artists, the likes that only come around once every couple of decades.

For those of us who grew up watching Labyrinth, you know there are many unmistakable selections on this album that you would recognize after only hearing the first couple of notes. Among my most favorite are Chilly Down, Magic Dance, As The World Falls Down, and Underground</i>

This is a wonderful album if you are looking for a sense of 80s nastalgia, and is a must watch movie.
