Alien Chatter is the unexpected duo of Indian percussionist Satnam Ramgotra and keyboardist Rodney Lee. Their sonic emissions are a sophisticated blend of atmospheric electronic textures and exotic rhythms. It’s an eclectic mix of Indian tabla drums, acoustic jazz piano, synths, beatbox, spoken word in a primordial soup of electronics. The resulting experience is what happens when Massive Attack meets Tabla Beat Science and chill with the martians.

What makes Alien so great is the constant feel of uneasiness. Right from the beginning you have a feeling that something is wrong. The crew is not particularly friendly towards each other, and you truly feel all the in-group tension. The ship itself is a huge worn out industrial-style maze of halls and corridors, and it feels more like a prison than a place to live. It is as if not only the alien but ... the ship itself is against the humans. The Alien itself is the scariest monster in history because it is a ruthless, soul-less parasite completely devoid of any human or civilized traits.

[Note regarding various other Alien- and Predator-related products: In 1982, the Atari 2600 console featured the first Alien video game. Like the ever-changing and evolving film series, the alien presence in video games in later years grew to include an arcade version of the Aliens film and a Game Boy version of Alien 3. In 1988, Dark Horse Comics published its Aliens title, which placed survivors of the 1986 film on a mission to destroy the creatures' home world. In 1989, the Dark Horse Comics' Aliens vs. Predator told about a group of interplanetary ranchers involved in a battle between the Alien monsters and deadly extraterrestrial hunters introduced in the film Predator (1987), starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and then in the sequel Predator 2 (1990).]

The Alien suits were made more flexible to expand on their movements such as crawling, and jumping to make them more of a character. Dancers and stunt men were in these suits which were made more durable than in Alien to allow these movements. The Alien's design was changed as the crew thought the original domehead would crack due to excessive mobility, whereas in Alien the Alien was limited in its movements.[16]

For big-budget, high-octane showmanship, Aliens (the sequel to Alien, directed by Ridley Scott) is hard to beat. While not as deliberate or interesting as the first in the series, Aliens is a wide-open visual-effects bonanza, with enough intensity and thrill for three standard action movies. Director James Cameron again proves himself more than capable when it comes to making the genre pay off.
