About this album
Flash Gordon (Original Soundtrack Music) shows Queen turning a cult science-fiction film into a bold, guitar-driven score. Released in 1980, it blends hard rock, synthesised effects and leitmotif-style themes to match Mike Hodges’ pulp adventure and the film’s outrageous visual style. Rather than a conventional soundtrack, the album feels like a compressed Queen concept work, with recurring musical ideas for Flash, Ming and Dale threaded through the action. Standout cues such as Flash’s Theme and Flash to the Rescue helped make the record one of the band’s most distinctive side projects, prized for its theatrical energy and unmistakably Queen sound.
