The sequence of the solar sails in space was marvelous
Cyborg Ocam
Love that little hint of Daniels' theme (A Cabin on the Lake) at the start of the song.
Hell, the entire album is great and definitely qualifies as one of the year's best. Modern horror film scores are usually effective enough to complement the picture but barely recognizable or memorable, but this one's an exception, I can remember most of the music on the film, that says a lot.

I am glad Alien Covenant was made as I think it is a good film with a great soundtrack. I don;t agree with all the story decisions made in this film, but still admire it
Taylor Bouchard
Gonna catch a lot of heat for this but...this is my fav film of the franchise. And omg the ending part of this song gives off the impression of something amazing has happened and that something major is yet to come. This song followed by “The Covenant” are the best.
Anne Tai
Such an amazing soundtrack.
Jeremy Markley
This track sounds very reminiscent of James Horner's work on The Search For Spock. I could definitely see him scoring a Star Trek film or series.
Mac Johnson
As someone who had listened to the The Search For Spock album over and over....yes, you are absolutely right...but I can't help but see the Interstellar reference here....
Jeremy Jenner
I was not a fan of this film at all but hearing this track again makes me reconsider. It’s utterly marvellous.
