The Empire Strikes Back is the first score I loved and still is my most favorite of all soundtracks!
I don't seem to be able to get enough of that powerfull Empire theme. It's such a brilliant piece of work.

I can admire Yoda's Theme (especially the funny, faster bit played on flutes) but I really love the loud, heroic music like The Asteroid Field.
It just keeps coming and keeps amazing me.

Then there's also Attacking A Star Destroyer, starts softly and then bursts into beautifull fast chasing heroics.

The moment Han is being put into carbonite, is very emotional.

And how about Yoda And The Force. When Yoda shows his wonderfull powers and amazes Luke with it. Very majestical I think.

And Imperial Starfleet Deployed when the falcon detaches from the Imperial Stardestroyer and Boba Fett following them.

City In The Clouds is also a piece that I like.

And when I hear Lando's Palace I can see threepio walking by...before he gets shot.

Well...I must say I almost like the whole cd! Just not The Battle Of Hoth.

Forgot to mention Rescue From Cloud City and Hyperspace! It has that funny droid theme in it played faster.

There is so much in it that I like. Up to the very end with The Rebel Fleet and End Title wich makes me wish the adventure was never over and visits all the major themes again.

It's a brilliant score as is the film.
