The avant-garde Alien 3 score was written for the motion picture of the same name. Scored by Elliot Goldenthal, it was his first big mainstream score; he described it as an experiment and spent a whole year creating it.

Goldenthal cites the score as one of his six stand-out soundtracks. In 1995, the Industrial band Front Line Assembly sampled the cue “Agnus Dei” on the track “Infra Red Combat” from the album Hard Wired.

Movie-wave.net said that most of the cues are quite “dissonant” and “bleak” for a casual movie score listener. AllMusic described it as “…mandatory for all serious enthusiasts of film music.”
