‘Ready Player One’ soundtrack has Prince, Bee Gees, Bruce Springsteen songs

Decca Records has released the hotly-anticipated soundtrack to “Ready Player One,” Steven Spielberg’s science fiction action adventure based on Ernest Cline’s best-selling book of the same name. The film is now showing in cinemas and the soundtrack featuring a brand new score by Grammy award-winning composer Alan Silvestri, whose previous works were featured in “The Avengers,” “Back to The Future Trilogy” and “Forrest Gump.”

The soundtrack has a companion album that features songs from the Motion Picture is also now available to download or stream. These soundtracks are exclusively distributed by MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines).

“While all sorts of culturally iconic references populate Ready Player One, the score that Alan Silvestri composed is completely and intoxicatingly original,” Spielberg said. “It’s bound together by multiple themes that identify plot and character and is infused by such percussive adrenaline and soaring strings that Alan has made Ready Player One appear to fly. I think his score is fantastic.”

“Ready Player One” marked the first collaboration of Spielberg and Silvestri on a film. The latter has scored a number of films produced by the filmmaker, including the “Back to the Future” films.

The composer says, “An invitation to travel arrived just about a year ago, not just to a place, but to a time,” Silvestri said. “Actually, to a number of times primarily the year 2045, along with a few stops in the ’80s.”

“A rather detailed map had been drawn by Ernest Cline and the Captain of the voyage, none other than Mr. Spielberg himself,” the composer added. “What could one possibly do or say? Pencil in hand, one firmly fastens one’s seatbelt, says ‘Sir, Yes, Sir,’ and prepares for the trip of a lifetime.”
