The original score to the 1991 science-fiction action film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is composed by Brad Fiedel. The film, directed by James Cameron is a sequel to the 1984 film The Terminator, and the second instalment in the Terminator franchise. Fiedel who scored for the first film using synthesisers and electronic instruments, had produced the score for Terminator 2, in an "acoustic and organic manner". According to Fiedel, he created the score in such a way, to bring a "warmer tone" on depicting the relationship with young John Connor and the Terminator. The recording and production process involved two CMI machines and synthesisers, with an ensemble orchestra assisting the electronic sounds.[1]

The first issue of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) was released by Varèse Sarabande in 1991, followed by subsequent reissues in the following years. It was remastered twice for digital and physical releases. The first remastered score was released by Silva Screen in August 2010, and the second remastering under the title Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Original Soundtrack Recording), was released in March 2017 by StudioCanal and UMG.[2]
