I have to say that as a kid—well before I became a film score fan—when I first saw Alien the music that made the greatest impression on me was the Freud cue used during the shaft scene. It was so perfect the way those creepy, plaintive, whining notes emphasized the aloneness of Dallas in there and the lurking unknown. That music really stuck with me. Never had any idea as a kid that that music hadn't originally been written for the scene. So on a visceral, gut-level I do have to side with Ridley on that choice.

Oh, man -- "Freud". I haven't listened to that in like a year and-a-half. Great I saw you mention it, some good Halloween music there. I need to fish it out and listen to it again.

I got ALIEN in the mail today, and when I tried to get it out of the jewel case it cracked right in half. It was in there so tight, and I didn't even bend it that far. I'm very upset about it.
henry, I'm sorry that happened.  I hate when they put discs in so tight like that. I've noticed that with a lot of DVDs/Blu-Rays too. One thing you can try in the future is "turning" the disc slowly, while very gently lifting on one edge -- almost like you're taking off a jar lid or something. I do that and have never had a problem since. Just make sure you're also gently pressing down on the center spindle(s) for leverage.
In the meantime, you might contact the company that sold you "Alien". They might replace it for you(?), since the disc was in there so ridiculously tight. Good luck, my friend....
Hi buddy! I did press down on the spindle, it just wouldn't come out. Thanks for the tip though, I'll do that from now on.

Can anyone report on which track(s) from Freud make up the shaft scene? Trying to locate it myself and only part of a cue seems to fit.
I believe it's all (or mostly) "Desperate Case"

Of which an alternate version can be heard on the Varese Sarabande Deluxe Edition C.D., and is NOT the version heard in the final film.

"Main Title" and "Charcot's Show" and then "Desperate Case." First part of "Main Title" is used for the acid scene and "The First Step" is heard later in the film when Ripley looks after Jones on the bridge.
