Review: BUY THIS BEAUTIFUL RECORDING - THE FILM, "COCOON" IS BRILIANT & ENCOMPASSES EVERY HUMAN EMOTION FOR ADULTS. IT RANKS IN MY TOP 10. THESE PRAISES AREN'T LIMITED TO THE MOVIE BUT ALSO FLOW INTO THE SOUNDTRACK - WHICH I ABSOLUTELY CHERISH. I'M A 65 Y.O. MALE & I WAS WIDOWED 11 YRS AGO. I'M DEPRESSED, LONELY & AFRAID WITH NO FAMILY OR FRIENDS. BUT, WHEN I FIND LIFE'S CHALLENGES TO BE TOO MUCH, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS IMMERSE MYSELF INTO MY MUSIC & THE "COCOON" SOUNDTRACK SOOTHES MY EMOTIONS. THIS SCORE IS BEYOND COMPARE TO ANY OTHER SINCE IT'S SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. I OWN THE LP & CASSETTE FOR THIS & THE RECORD IS NOW WARPED & CAN'T BE PLAYED & THE CASSETTE, WHILE STILL PLAYABLE, HAS THE LINGERING "HISS" COMMON WITH THIS FORMAT. WITH THIS CD, I CAN NOW ENJOY THE MUSIC IS PERFECT CLARITY. CONSUMERS: DON'T HESITIATE - BUY THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC CD & YOU'LL ENJOY IT FOREVER. Review: James Horner's "Cocoon" finally in all its wondrous glory! - Absolutely delighted to get this cd and see the "Cocoon" soundtrack finally released in all its glory. Unlike the original vinyl soundtrack which just included the main tracks, the full score is included here along with the song "Gravity", some unused music etc. and all remastered and sounding amazing... plus there's a cool souvenir booklet too. This is James Horner coming into his prime as a film composer with varying superb themes and tracks joining to make one of his finest scores - touching, sweet, thrilling, wondrous and fun... just like the movie. A great buy and well done to the remastering and compiling team on a great job done in bringing this to us.

An Inspiring and Bittersweet Masterpiece!
One of the most beautiful cinematic scores, and by far, my favorite from the talented composer, James Horner, this complete edition has every music cue from the film, unlike its trimmed-down original release. For years I wanted the complete score but it was either incredibly expensive or just didn't exist in its entirety. My 30-year hunt is over and I couldn't be more pleased to finally have it. Thank you for the memories, smiles and tears, Mr. Horner!

Tracking Issue
Let me first point out that this is a beautiful score composed by James Horner for the film Cocoon. It’s high-spirited and uplifting, reminiscent of his work on Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. I bought the CD soundtrack from Intrada back in May and noticed there was a music sequencing issue starting with Track 11. The ‘Theme From Cocoon’, AKA the End Title Theme, was placed there instead of ‘Rose’s Death’. The good news is that all the music from the soundtrack is still on the CD. However, due to this error, Tracks 11 to 18 are not aligned with what’s on the list. Intrada informed me they are aware of the flaw and they won’t be sending out anymore copies of Cocoon until this problem is fixed. Then I recently noticed that Amazon was selling the CD soundtrack to Cocoon. I took a chance and bought one. Unfortunately, when I listened to it, the same sequencing issue exists, so I returned it. I am hopeful that there will be a corrected CD for Cocoon coming real soon. 5 stars for the music, but giving 3 stars only due to the tracking issue. (11/22/21 UPDATE: Intrada has corrected the sequencing problem and was gracious enough to send me a replacement disc.)

A great score from a great composer!
I am a huge fan of this film, and an even bigger fan of James Horner's score for it. I am very pleased that I was able to obtain a copy of this score! It is well worth the price.

Excellent soundtrack!
I love this CD! Gravity, by Michael Sembello, is my favorite song and this soundtrack is the only CD I've been able to find it on.

LISTEN WHILE WATCHING (NOT W/O THE MOVIE)
This music works very, very well for the movie soundtrack, but as stand-alone music it's quite grating and jarring, not so fun to listen to. Sorry, James Horner, it shouldn't have been sold apart from the movie.

Une Béo toute en délicatesse, en demies-teintes, parois épique pour les scènes finales, remplie d'une tendresse bienveillante pour les hommes, et d'un sens du merveilleux pour les Aliens....Sans doute une des oeuvres charnières de Horner où l'épique des premiers StarTrek commence à disparaître po laisser respirer l'humain

値段が2千円以下と安く、アマゾンのこの商品には曲目リストが掲載されていなくて かつ、1つあるレビューが「12曲入りの初期のオリジナルサントラ版」だったのですが 発売メーカー、発売日とジャケットの裏表紙の写真があり、そこで見える曲目リストが 22曲入り(10曲多い)であり、コクーン:拡張版(Cocoon: Expanded<期間限定生産盤>)と 一致したので即購入しました! (今回のバージョンにもマイケル・センベロのGravityは入っています) いちおう裏ジャケット写真でも見れますが曲目リストを掲載します。 (アマゾンが他の同一タイトルのこれ以外のCDのレビューと後でいっしょにしてしまう可能性 [ここの1つ目レビューが2012年1月11日でそうなる]があるので 今後は必ずジャケット写真の曲目リストと比較してから判断してください!w) このレビューは以下のCDのものです。 CD (2013/10/31) ディスク枚数: 1 フォーマット: CD, Import レーベル: Cool Stuff ASIN: B00G9JAVMI EAN: 0720258526021 曲目リスト 1.Through The Window 2:58 2.Going To The Pool 1:55 3.Pool Is Closed 2:10 4.Mysterious Dive 1:54 5.Seduction/Let's Go 2:10 6.Unveiling 1:05 7.Discovered In The Poolhouse 2:47 8.A Relapse 1:27 9.The Lovemaking 4:24 10.First Tears 1:51 11.Rose's Death 2:14 12.Returning To Sea 4:16 13.Sad Goodbye 2:15 14.Sneaking Away 3:15 15.David Runs To The Boat 1:53 16.The Chase 4:30 17.The Ascension 6:01 18.Theme From Cocoon 6:05 THE EXTRAS 19.The Boys Are Out 2:37 20.I Feel Great 1:05 21.Rock Source 1:13 22.Gravity(Michael Sembello) 4:00 Total Time 62:25
