Even his work with Montrose was amazing, and I think he was barely out of high school when they made their first album.

I just listened to the Heavy Metal soundtrack the other day. It still sounds fantastic. It's like a mini-museum of all that was good about rock in the early '80s.

Also, I think Mike Oldfield was all of 19 years old when Tubular Bells was released - fantastic record!

He did do the score for the Killing Fields.

A favorite soundtrack is Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass.

It's a really good movie too. He made it with a really small budget so several artists let him use their music at lower cost than usual.



Box Office

Budget:$2,500,000 (estimated)
Opening Weekend USA: $201,115, 1 August 2004, Limited Release
Gross USA: $26,782,316, 27 January 2005
Cumulative Worldwide Gross: $9,043,000, 21 July 2005

Sorry, i've forgotten how to add images to the posts, but.....
Tangerine Dream's soundtrack for the James Caan movie, "Thief".

The soundtrack is stunningly good.

And the movie was also fantastic. It had great acting, an intense story, and INCREDIBLE cinematography. The night photography is especially amazing. Watching TV shows like CSI or Person of Interest, both of which have gorgeous nighttime camera work, you can certainly see how that movie was an inspiration.

And the involvement with Tuesday Wells was just terrific.

And, Jim Belushi in a very serious role. And that ending. . .

They know how to set up, and resolve, a tense mood in a film. They do this perfectly in Thief. They also provided the soundtrack to the movie Sorcerer, and that's another soundtrack that should be on this list.
