Jen (Stephen Garlick), raised by the noble race called the Mystics, has been told that he is the last survivor of his own race, the Gelflings. He sets out to try to find a shard of the dark crystal, a powerful gem that once provided balance to the universe. After the crystal was broken, the evil Skeksis used sinister means to gain control. Jen believes that he can repair the dark crystal and bring peace back to the world, if he can only find the remaining shard. Its an epic Fantasy with Jim Hensen's muppetry at its finest. It can be really creepy, but it never was meant to be kid friendly. Jim Hensen went for a dark feel to the movie and stayed with it til the very end, when you get the happy ending.
The score is done by Trevor Jones and its really a good score, great fantasy feel and very sweeping movements. I really enjoyed this score.
You can't get the soundtrack on ITunes but I'm sure you can find it from soundtrack.net. Anyway here are some clips I enjoyed from the film. I hope you like them as well.

This is the love theme between the Gelflings.
