Holger Lagerfeldt Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I made this playlist, thought it might be interesting for others as it's manually curated and a lot better than the auto-generated ones: https://music.apple.com/dk/playlist/original-soundtracks-100/pl.u-KVXBkABs1oyrx Original movie scores, tv-series and some game soundtracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckard1 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) Thanks, Lagerfeldt. Blade Runner!!! Complete genius on Vangelis' part, in my humble opinion. I still listen to the soundtrack to this day. 'They Live' didn't make it to the list...your sig? 😁 Edited September 12, 2023 by deckard1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Lagerfeldt Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Absolutely, in fact Blade Runner has the highest number of worthy/hit tracks out of all original scores, IMHO. I listen to the 1994 CD all the time. No wonder you like Blade Runner with that username, haha 😄 From "They Live" I didn't find any must-have tracks. Maybe I'll give it another listen, but every time I find something new, something else must go from the list. Only track I'm really missing is "Skyline" by Sylvester Levay from Cobra. Doesn't seem like it's on Apple Music. Maybe Airwolf also, pretty iconic 80s theme, but also missing from Apple Music.

grumblepig Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Vangelis and Bernard Herrmann to start things off... nice! I only got into John Carpenter in recent years - films and the scores - but both Assault On Precinct 13 and Escape From New York have amazing synthy themes. That said, I'm listening to the main theme from "Assault..." as I write this. It's so simplistic and not entirely impressive in a certain way, but slotted into the film from whence etc, and yow!

deckard1 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Michael Mann's 'Thief' soundtrack by Tangerine Dream is also absolutely stellar. Practically made the movie, IMHO.
