VANGELIS - Tears in Rain (Blade Runner) INFO Music is a powerful trigger of myriad emotions, from the romantic, powerful, disastrous and even heartbreaking. Never is this more plainly evident than with the movie soundtrack. Listen to Lalo Schifrin™s string and brass arrangements on ˜Bullitt™ and we are back in the car with Steve McQueen in an epic chase over the elliptical contours of San Francisco.Flip to Wendy Carlos™ ˜Ode To Joy™ as Alex exclaims: šIt was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh,› the violence simmering somewhere close to the surface in Kubrick™s A Clockwork Orange. We™ve collected together some of the classic themes and motifs spanning the past 60 years, from Bernard Hermann™s daring fusion of orthodox orchestration and theremin, Gary Jules™ haunting version of Tears For Fears™ ˜Mad World™, as featured in the hypnotic Donnie Darko, or John Barry™s harmonica-led theme to Schlesinger™s Midnight Cowboy. In the process, we™ve selected a vast range of styles from the jazz and soul-influenced compositions of Roy Budd, Isaac Hayes and Brazil™s Deodato, to electronic pioneers like Giorgio Moroder or leftfield composers like Philip Glass. So pour yourself that glass of something smooth, relax on the sofa, close your eyes and make believe you™re in a creaking hotel with Jack Nicholson or deep in the fearful sweat of Vietnam with Robert De Niro or a Turkish prison with Brad Davis„. All human life is here. Bill Brewster
