Aside from bringing fans a deluxe 2-disc anniversary edition DVD, The Jim Henson Company is using the 25th anniversary of "The Dark Crystal'" as a great excuse to resurrect, revisit, and release the film's magnificent soundtrack. "The Dark Crystal: 25th Anniversary Edition Soundtrack" album is set to be released on CD by La La Land Records on July 14, 2007. The film's score was written by composer Trevor Jones and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra with Marcus Dods conducting. Currently the music from the film is hard to come by, with the limited edition printings of all past releases currently out-of-print. The anniversary soundtrack will also come with a booklet containing exclusive liner notes.

If they keep churning this stuff out, I'm gonna have to get a job. :(
I am so very excited I can hardly keep my hat on. I hope they release it in the UK. My heart may break into pieces if it doesn't.

This is great news indeed.
I love the tunes in the movie but I don't know them by name. Is the song with Jen playing wooden flute and Kira singing on the boat going to be on the 25th anniversary CD? That song to date is still one of my favourite's of all time. I just can't find it anywhere!
Yes it is. I found it (not so legally) on the net. It's called 'The Gelfling Song'. Awww, I wish I was on a boat singing to a man with a flute... alas no.

is it going to be remastered in any way, or is it going to be the same as the Numenorean release, only with different packaging?
The audio is restored and remastered -- and it sounds great!
