I adore Jame Horner's score for "Battle Beyond the Stars;" it's a very catchy, rousing and dynamic score that once you hear it you never forget it. I still have that lively main theme bouncing around in the back of my head.

Too bad he didn't have the London Symphony Orchestra when he was recording it.
I know this comment is SIX YEARS later, but you are so right. I love the score but it's painfully obvious that the lesser musicians are struggling to play it. Even I noticed the brass section straining to hit the high notes. If Horner had a AAA+ orchestra like the LSO performing his score it would have been 100 times more awesome.
Dr. Kila Marr was right. Kill the Crystalline Entity. -

Star Trek1 was actually Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner wrote for #2 and 3. In fact one of the two harmony's used in this score was also used in his Star Trek 3 score.

Check out a re-recording of the Battle Beyond the Stars theme:
Nic Raine & The City Of Prague - Battle Beyond the Stars
Featured on the album Alien Invasion: Space and Beyond II
They do a sort of medley of it which comes off quite well. The end is a bit sudden though - none of those trailing flutes from the original. -

I enjoyed his score here, but I think Star Trek II was his best. certainly you could here parts of this that wound up in that score as well. Have you ever heard anyone rip-off themselves as much as Horner? I think he's great but he seems to like his stuff so much he re-uses it over and over, lol.
