How would you like an isolated score to go with it? I actually made one a few years ago using the Intrada 2-CD set, synched with the 2003 DVD release; though it has never been part of any fan project. With a bit of further editing it could be made to line up with the Bluray video.

Some official releases of Alien do have music-only tracks, but the editing isn't always right and the sound quality is not as good as the Intrada CD version, which came from the master tapes and not from higher generation duplicates.

Since the film underwent a lot of editing after Jerry Goldsmith completed scoring—and because he and Ridley Scott had very great creative differences in their approach to how the music should be used—many scenes differ greatly from how the composer had conceived them. I had to do a fair amount of editing to get the original score to line up with the actual movie, but this is the closest way to experience the music the way it was first intended to be.

If there is interest in including such a track in this project, I shall be glad to provide it.

I would love to include it hairy_hen. That sounds like a fantastic addition. I actually never knew about the 2 disc Intrada soundtrack. I have the old 1 disc, so this will be a treat for me also, especially since it goes back to the original tapes. I assume it is PCM 2.0?

With the addition of the isolate score, and figuring a 25GB BD:

~1GB for the two 70mm tracks in AC3 5.1/4.1

~1.5 GB for the Dolby Stereo/Surround in PCM 2.0

~1.5 GB for the Isolated Score in PCM 2.0

So approximately 4 GB for the soundtracks. So that leaves 17-19 GB for video (depending on gigabyte vs gigabit, formatting, overhead, subs, etc).
