Battlefield Earth: The Music

More than just a novel, Battlefield Earth is a story that has inspired a range of artwork that continues to grow today.

Author L. Ron 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 include:

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
