I wonder if the Hammerpede is the creature that wraps around Milburn's arm. There's a real world animal called the hammer worm that it very much resembles. I also think the tracks are not necessarily listed in chronological order.

23. Planting the Seed: Of what? A xenomorph or the beginning of life and terraforming 24. Invitation: Here I have no thoughts ¿? 25. Birth: Of what? A xenomorph or a new kind of creature...OK the latter reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Hammerpede may be the new alien, it sounds like a centipede with hammer legs?

And by the way the track 3 is called "Engineer" and the number 20 is called Space Jockey!!! My big question is: is an engineer with his suit on? or Are they different species? Well, we still have 28 days to find out...

I think the hammerpede is the alien Shaw gives birth to.... Life would be the Space Cobra.

Track titles seem to follow the scenes we see in the trailers quite tightly....i think they've given away the story in the trailers and that not many surprises are left.

I was eagerly anticipating this moment! It´s seductive to compare the final acts with "2001", but I also think that the soundtrack isn´t in chronological order. I feel vindicated by the Hammerpede, because I ever tought of that creature more as an worm than a reptile. My takes: "hypersleep" must be the musical theme of the first scenes when David wakes the tripulation on arrival; "invitation" is most probably the musical theme for the post-hypersleep briefing when Halloway and Shaw shows the ancient relics to the crew and explain their theory about ancient alien presence on Earth; "weyland" must be the scene where an holographic Weyland appears in the beggining of the film and communicates his "vision"; "going in" must be when the crew enters the temple by the first time; "hammerpede" must be the former space cobra attack on Milburn; "hello mommy" must be the confrontation between Shaw and the thing that is extracted from her belly; "collision" and "debris" are obvious. The positioning in the last positions of the track list gives one pause about the theory that the themes are not chronologicaly arranged...

@Outlander Yah, no more Cobra-Hugger LOL As of now is the Hammerpede By the way, you may be right about the order of the soundtrack

Wow, now this is interesting. It's Hammer Time..... Hammerpede... If correct, then no longer Cobra-Hugger. I didn't like Cobra Hugger so much. Then you have "Hello Mommy" followed by "Friend from the Past". I am thinking the friend is "Prometheus". Is the friend/Prometheus = Weyland showing up as Shaw collapses after the c-Section or the Engineer who stole fire and gave it to us. Planting, invitation, and birth sounds eerily like an Alien face hugger style attack. It could be on an Engineer to satisfy the Sacrificial Engineer role noted in the credits.

I'm not sure that hammerpede translates to Space Cobra/Face Burster. The "pede" part means "foot" so a centipede means one hundred feet. Hammerpede suggests a "hammer - foot". Granted the space cobra's head does look a little like a hammer.

Well it does not make much sence..... I think that is the listing on the CD and not the order the tracks play in the movie. I would think like Invitation would be near the begining and Birth that could be the Shaws Baby scene or related track.

In addition to the tracks not being in time order, it is possible that some may be themes that are repeated when certain characters are involved...a bit like "Imperial March" from the Star Wars Movies. This is a really interesting find though. Thanks

"Hammerpede" I have these visions of David8 dancing into the cavern wearing baggy pants when it appears, and singing..."STOP.......Hammerpede". Then a bit more dancing and as the crew member reaches towards it, him cutting in with "Can't touch dis". Oh MC David...you were soooo right....

HoneyBadger's comments on 23, 24, & 25 are very sobering. When I first looked at the titles for those tracks I was thinking more along the lines: 23. A historical context of how life evolves in the universe. Again because Ridley Scott has already stated that this movie is all about creation. Maybe the creation scene comes in the end. Maybe. 24. Within the temples a more significant message and deeper message is found. A more "ultimate" creator who may not be as malicious as the space jockey. 25. We see the birth of life on another planet far away in the universe who may bring more hope. Then I read HoneyBadger's comment, and I say to myself, "Czelaya, you're OVERTHINKING and making this movie to grandiose." That's my biggest problem with all this anticipation. Those comments that HoneyBadger's makes on tracks 23-25 are simple, not over analyzed, make perfect sense, and tie in with Alien perfectly. Must remember not to over think.

Can someone promise to post on the forum when track previews become available! I am not hugely familiar with this composers work - hope it lives up to the rest of the scores produced for the Alien films - and better than the one for Alien Resurrection! Am a huge fan of movie scores - Jerry Goldsmith's work on Alien (which he famously fell out with Ridley Scott over) is mysterious and primal; James Horner's work on Aliens (especially the complete score - available on iTunes) is simply epic; Elliot Goldenthal's work on Alien 3 is again very primal and gothic (the score for Ripley's suicide is stunning) but less said about John Frizzel's work on Alien Resurrection the better - except for the score for the evacuation of the ship, the score is complete rubbish - I hope this composer (Marc S..whatever!) does a better job with Prometheus - his score for The Grey was pretty darn good so fingers crossed - a poor score can totally ruin a movie in my opinion. On a side note - do we know who did the special effects work for the film? ILM is obviously the usual go-to team for big Hollywood movies - did they do the work here? If not, kudos to whoever did it - the effects are stunning and, from what we have seen, do not over power the film

The "pede" element of a word generally means "foot." ped-, pedi-, -pedal, -ped, -pede, etc. All mean "foot." [i](this is NOT the same as pedo-, which is a prefix meaning "child" or "youth.")[/i] Ex. Centipede, Millipede, etc. So a Hammerpede could reasonably be assumed to be something with powerful feet or legs. As the white, wormy "cobra-hugger" in the trailers seems to have neither legs nor feet, I imagine the name "hammerpede" refers to something we've not seen yet at all. Here's another good example: aliped (s), alipeds (pl) (nouns) 1. Wing-footed, having wings on the feet: "Alipeds, like Mercury (the Roman god that served as messenger to the other gods) and Hermes (the Greek equivalent of Mercury) were considered to be swift-footed because they had wings on their feet." 2. In zoology, having the toes connected by a membrane that serves as a wing: "Bats are known as alipeds or cheiropterous (hand-wing) animals."
