| More than just a novel (more than just a huge 1,066-page novel, to be exact),
Battlefield Earth is a story that has inspired a range of artwork that continues to grow today.
Author Hubbard happened to be a composer as well, and he created a distinctive and original soundtrack music album for his opus in 1982, providing his own musical interpretation of key passages, characters and moments in the book. The album was one of the very first to utilize the Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument throughout.
The album offers a unique way for fans of Battlefield Earth to experience its emotional and dramatic impact through music in a way that the writer himself intended. Rarely can an author offer a work expressed in two different media in this way. |
Tracks on the Battlefield Earth music album:
 Mankind Unites March of the Psychlos
Funeral for a Planet Alien Visitors Attack
Golden Era of SciFi The Banker
Windsplitter Declaration of Peace
The Mining Song Earth, My Beautiful Home
