That (then) unknown director George Lucas managed to secure legendary composer Lalo Schifrin for the cerebral, brooding soundtrack to his bleak (pre-Star Wars) science fiction tale THX 1138 is a testament to his legendary industry tenacity. Far removed from his collaborations with John Williams, THX bristles with dissonant choral sections, bursts of Latin-tinged percussion, and a whole lot of mid-'70s echo-laden flute solos. A great deal of the soundtrack's tone resembles Stanley Kubrick's chilly, classically cultivated score for 2001: A Space Odyssey -- Schifrin uses Bach's St. Matthew Passion over the end credits -- and while it's occasionally ironic and lighthearted (the spaghetti Western-themed 'Source #4/Third Escape/Morgue Sequence/The Temple/Disruption/LUH's Death'), the bulk of it is just plain disjointed and disturbing -- 'Torture Sequence/Prison Talk Sequence,' with its cacophony of thumb pianos, bells, and hand drums, wouldn't have sounded out of place on the Wicker Man soundtrack. THX 1138 is a challenging and difficult listen, but fans will be pleased with Film Score Monthly's attention to detail and lovingly penned liner notes, and soundtrack buffs will finally fill a crucial hole in their sci-fi collections.

- THX-1138 1971 Theatrical (Unspecialized Reconstruction based on 16mm) Is there a better one? The latter for some reason has the vomit blu ray ending. Probably because I was going off of the ‘movie censorship’ website changelist, which really only mentions the text color.

The mono mix on the original THX 1138 was great, and then Lucas replaced it on the directors cut with a bogus 5.1 track. I also believe the so called theatrical cut on THX 1138 on laserdisc and vhs has scenes that were restored for a re-release or on video, the original had trims done by warners.
