In a frank discussion with Pitch.com, Composer Ennio Morricone gives his opinions and verdict on his under-rated score for The Humanoid:

"The Humanoid was an Italian science-fiction film where I believed I was answering, in my own way, the American science-fiction films with which I was familiar. Also I was recognising the great bravura of John Williams and his Star Wars score. I felt that the {music in those films} was inadequate to explain the infinite, which is what science-fiction wishes to represent. It was a personal answer to the music which American cinema had proposed for space. It gave me a feeling of the infinite, of the mysteries of the world we don't know. When I used to see American science-fiction films, when I didn't approve of certain musical behaviour, I asked myself what would I have done in that case. So when I did The Humanoid, I already had in mind what my behaviour would be. In this case, my behaviour came from a position of, lets call it correctively critical of American science-fiction films".
