The propulsive main theme seems like it's almost an influence on James Horner ("Race Against Time" from Brainstorm pilfers the theme pretty closely). Plus, it has a militaristic verve that's in line with other Goldsmith scores of the era (Capricorn One, Damnation Alley). But for horror aficionados, one of the best parts of listening to how Goldsmith one-ups famed Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" to wrench an insect-like buzzing from a combination of woodwinds, strings, and, especially, brass. Whereas Korsakov's whirling, wavering strings suggest a fancy flight, Goldsmith goes for a punch in the gut. This quivering, almost staccato effect turned up in his score for Alien the following year ("Parker's Death"), and is best heard in The Swarm on sustained tracks such as "The Bees Arrive". Hilariously, it also features one of a three-note motif that literally spells B-E-E.
