As far as I can tell, this is a variation on the original Terminator film's theme. The original theme was more majestic and somewhat laid back and more spacious. It wasn't until the sequel that the original composer, Brad Fiedel, added the infamous percussion beat that has really become the mark of the score (1-e-uh e-& if you count music). It has just the right sound for those cold, robotic eyes staring at the viewer, the ones you see on in the video here.
This changed the way I view Elfman slightly. All of the soundtracks I'm familiar with him working on sound very similar. This one sounds very different from his usual work, though. I didn't even know it was Elfman until after looking it up. It's a good way to start my Movie Music Month.
