宇宙からの情報を基に人類が作り出した生命体の暴走を描くＳＦスリラー。２０年前、ＳＥＴＩ（Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence-地球外文明探査）グループが宇宙に向けて送ったメッセージに、ある日、未知の存在からの返事が届いた。そこにはＤＮＡ塩基配列に関する情報が記されており、生命誕生の鍵を解こうとする科学者達はそれを人類のＤＮＡと結合させ、新たな生命体を誕生させようとする。実験の結果誕生したのは少女であったが、その体内には恐るべき力が備わっていたのだ。プロジェクトの責任者であるフィッチは実験が失敗したと判断しシルと名付けられたその少女を抹殺しようとするが、彼女は研究所から脱走、殺戮と成長を繰り返しながらＬＡに潜伏した。フィッチは処理屋のプレストン、霊能者のダン、アーデンとベイカーの二人の博士の協力を得てシルの追撃に向かう。しかし、その頃シルは本能から子供を産もうとしており、交配できる人間の男性を探していた……。 監督：ロジャー・ドナルドソン、出演：ベン・キングズレー、マイケル・マドセン、他。1995年アメリカ。
Intrada announces an expanded reissue of Christopher Young's sci-fi/horror score to the 1995 MGM film Species. The album features the program Young put together in 2008, where he chose to present the score not in strict chronological sequence but rather in an intricately edited re-imagining of the cues to create the strongest musical listening experience. Several cues were dropped, and many others were trimmed to facilitate the new sequence. As is customary for this most creative and talented composer, Young judiciously married several otherwise-unrelated cues into longer pieces that were musically satisfying while still retaining the overall shape and architecture of the film itself. In some cases, he pulled bars from one take and inserted them into other takes as well as remixing everything to obtain the specific sound he desired. This release features that magnificent program. Additionally, for the collector who wants everything, we've also included the complete unedited score in chronological sequence, making this the last word on Young's brilliant work. The music for Species is written for large orchestra plus synthesizers and choir. Christopher Young scored some 90 minutes of music using these forces both in full and in part, and his compositional gifts are on full display.
In the film, a seemingly human child is held in a government facility, yet the girl is actually the product of an alien transmission that enabled Earth scientists to combine extraterrestrial and human DNA. The head of the project, Xavier Fitch (Ben Kingsley) orders the destruction of the young creature, Sil. But Sil escapes before the execution can take place, quickly grows to adulthood and begins a rampage in Los Angeles. Fitch gathers a team of unlikely experts to track down and kill the creature. The personnel include an “empath” who can read others’ thoughts and feelings (Forest Whitaker), a sociologist (Alfred Molina), a biologist (Marg Helgenberger), and a government contract killer (Michael Madsen). The twist in Species is that Sil is by all appearances a beautiful human female, played as a young girl by Michelle Williams and as an adult by actress and model Natasha Henstridge.

クリストファー・ヤングの1995年MGM映画『スピーシーズ／種の起源』のSFホラー・スコアが完全盤で世界初リリース！
トラックリストこのアルバムは、INTRADAが2008年にリリースした、ヤング自ら編集したプログラムを収録しており、彼はスコアを厳密な時系列順ではなく、むしろ最強の音楽的リスニング体験を生み出すために、キューを複雑に編集し直して提示することを選択した。いくつかのキューは削除され、他の多くのキューは新しい順序を容易にするために削られた。この最も創造的で才能豊かな作曲家の常として、ヤングはいくつかの関連性のないキューを、映画自体の全体的な形や構造を保ちつつ、音楽的に満足のいく長い作品に巧みに融合させた。場合によっては、あるテイクから小節を抜き出して他のテイクに挿入したり、彼が望む特定のサウンドを得るためにすべてをリミックスしたりもした。このリリースには、その壮大なプログラムが収録されています。
さらに、すべてを求めるコレクターのために、編集されていない完全なスコアもストーリー順に収録しており、ヤングの輝かしい作品に関する最後の一作となっている。『スピーシーズ／種の起源』の音楽は、大編成のオーケストラとシンセサイザー、合唱のために書かれている。クリストファー・ヤングは、これらの力をフルに、あるいは部分的に使って約90分の音楽を作曲しており、彼の作曲の才能が存分に発揮されています。
