Your favorite electronic & synth film scores

oh wow i complete overlooked the score for Day of the Dead, the gravitational force of Goblin must have sucked it out of view. So Halloween 3 (season of the witch?) that has a different score than halloween pt 1? im going to download the shit out of these.

Escape from NY is great, i just found a copy on vinyl at my local Amoeba

Silent Running (1972)

Anything from the CBC from 1970-1980, and who can forget the NFBoC's output (namely McLaren's work)...

Popol Vuh's score for Aguirre

The title track of that soundtrack makes me melt inside.

so i had a little bit of a hidden agenda making this thread, i was about to play a live show concept where i play kind of a historical mashup of electronic music made up until 1983. You guys gave me some great ideas and gems to incorporate into my show. this is my first show i've done with ableton live so some of the transitions are a little rough, please forgive them :)

anyways here is the recording of it if you are interested -

if you are curious what a particular sample is let me know the time and ill identify it.

brief list of included artists:

throbbing gristle

vangelis

tangerine dream

vangelis

bernard favere

giorgio moroder

munich machine

raymond scott

morton subotnick

stockhausen

herbie hancock

kraftwerk

telex

lime

patrick cowley

esplendor geometrico

severed heads

nocturnal emissions

zoviet france

edgar frose

klaus schluze

chris and cosey

chris carter

jerry goldsmith

thats an awesome list of artists.. also a cool idea. i shall check it out

I wanted to keep this thread alive as it is awesome and almost a year old. It's that time of year where it's cold and gloomy here and puts me right in the mood for weird synth scores.

Recently rewatched Apocalypse Now and forgot how amazing the soundtrack is.

Last year I did a 1 hour Tangerine Dream mix. About 3/4 of it is their '80s film score stuff - mostly the melodic main title tracks with some deep abstract numbers to break it up a little

Contains tracks from the scores to:

Risky Business, The Keep, Sorcerer, Thief, The Park Is Mine, Shy People, Firestarter, Wavelength, Street Hawk, etc

Cool mix, don't know a lot of these. What's the track starting at 35 minutes?

Nevermind, it's from The Keep, thought I'd heard it before...

True...

Theirs a great segment in the Dvd extras on the making of the synth score... Supposedly state of the art and pioneering for the era...

with Rachel Elkind

Ah yes. Twas.

Technically, it was Walter Carlos... at the time.

I am breaking the rules a bit as I think this is 1985 but it's still great

And it's not from a film but this is also cool

Found this great playlist here; https://us.napster.com/blog/post/the-best-electronic-soundtracks

I wanted to say something original but to be honest Bladerunner remains my fave electronic OST.

napster still has a website!?

decent list, pleasantly surprised how good of a primer it is, they didn't shy away from more abstruse (for mainstream audiences) of 70s and 80s era stuff 

being as this thread no longer relates to a ten year old gig tracklist inquiry....

Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead) & SF synth legend Merl Saunders were involved in this soundtrack, but some of their work never made it on-screen. Hence, a few years later these off-cuts were released on their own. Recommended:

The Innocents has some serious heavyweight sound design strangeness. Does that count as a score cos it adds huge depth to the overall experience & well worth ripping. Stoned (sostooooooned = 2fkn edits) Friday afternoon off electronica write up on it here:
