Details: The Primevals represents a glorious hark back to the classic scores that fueled so many of the Harryhausen films of the 1950s and 1960s. A delirious thrill-ride through the joys of monsters, ray-guns, spaceships and good old-fashioned stop motion animation. Award winning and Emmy nominated composer Richard Band outlines his approach to the music and the inspiration that lies behind it - "I've always been a firm believer in the importance of themes in film scoring and this score cried out for an epic theme perhaps in the classical manner of a Steiner, Herrmann or Rozsa, or perhaps even a Goldsmith, Williams, Jarre or Shore. It was movies from my childhood like 'Lost Horizon' and 'Jason and the Argonauts' as well as epics like 'Dr. Zhivago' and 'Ben-Hur' that had the import I was searching for. This film was a true joy to score and well worth the roughly 20 odd years I waited to do it."
