Marshall Blonstein’s Audio Fidelity will be releasing Tangerine Dream’s Theif OST on 180g vinyl in November 2015. Tangerine Dream is among the most successful electronic groups of all time. The band was chosen by Michael Mann to write and produce the original score for Thief, his 1981 directorial debut. Tangerine Dream added their patented pulses, blips and whooshes to the film’s highly stylized visual scenes. Up to this time, no one had ever used a sequencer for a neo-noir film…this score is one of the most unusual of its kind for American cinema. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rather than a full orchestral score, Tangerine Dream’s techno-based score uses synthesizer, percussion and electric guitar making for a fascinating and exciting soundtrack. Tracks like \u201cDr. Destructo\u201d have a fast-paced percussion tempo. An engaging melody on \u201cBeach Theme\u201d makes it one of the album’s most familiar and popular tracks, while \u201cTrap Feeling\u201d has a delicacy that compares favorably to Brian Eno’s Music for Films.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There were two versions of the album only the US release included \u201cConfrontation\u201d an actual rock song of guitars, bass and drums written by Craig Safan. Band member, Edgar Froese stated\u00a0at the time,\u201dIt was a pleasure working on the film because the exotic and shifting moods of Thief were perfectly suited to the kind of music we played…and yet we knew the music would also stand on its own.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The soundtrack and the movie are inseparable. The music and movie have grown beyond cult classic status becoming an important part of the collected works of Tangerine Dream and Mann.<\/div>\n
