Soundtracks and character actors are two of the reasons I watch movies. Big names, meh.

Time to dig out the Tangerine Dream LP's. Now where did I put them? Oh yeah, next to those of Jean Michel Jarre.

Having this song on the heels of 'Moving in Stereo' is definitely connecting with an awkward, teenage movie-goer in the 80's!

TD churned out many, many soundtracks back in the day. The band wasn't exactly picky about the quality of the film. Personally, I think "Risky Business" stands the test of time; it's certainly better than "The Girl Next Door" (2004), which repeats the theme of "nice high school virgin meets sexpot with dangerous business associates."

And hey, this album also has Jeff Beck's "The Pump" and Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy", so there's that.

I'll take '80's movie soundtracks for $100.00 Alex. I took the el to work today. This song reminds me of a little Japanese Haiku I made up. See if you remember the Scene:

I am riding the el
I am recreating the scene from Risky Business
I am alone.

You really didn't know? I'm not having a dig at you, honestly, I'm just surprised. Synthesisers were in active use back in the 70s by 'supergroups' such as ELP and Yes, and more obscure 'progressive' bands such as Gong and Amon Duul, and were seen as super-cool and trendy. They were also bloody expensive!

Cool, a little 80's movie soundtrack pair.  Rebecca and Phoebe, etched in our brains, and linked to these songs.

I'll give it a 9, just for the train scene.  (Edit: just read post below.  This might not have been the train scene song, but it still brings back memories, so I'm sticking with it.)

No. That was another track called "Love on a Real Train."  (Also a very good piece of music, IMNTBHO.)

...pre-1980s electronic music groups were the best kind!..certainly there are some consummately talented contemporary synthesists, but in the sixties and seventies the genre was exploding with innovation, true pioneers exploring fantastic new sonic frontiers with every release...

Good grief! Are these guys still going? I used to listen to TD decades ago, usually after a stiff spliff or three, and at times the experience was almost transcendental. I thought they'd packed in ages ago, with contemporaries like Klaus Schulze. They used to be soooo 1970s/80s and well uncool, but I suppose with the new age of electronica and styles like Trance they could come into their own again. It just goes to show that what goes out of fashion in one decade comes back the next...

Not that this is a great track, mind, a bit anodyne to my mind, but I'd be interested to hear some more TD on RP.
 

TD is now basically just Edgar Froese & his son, with supporting players - not the TD of the '80s by any means.  Christopher Franke and Edgar had a major falling out, Chris now does soundtrack work (Babylon 5 being one of the most visible gigs he's had).  And contrary to 'packing it in', Klaus Schulze is still cranking out the same kind of long-form material he's been known for since he started out - check out https://www.klaus-schulze.com/

I still dig a few TD tracks every now and then. The OLD stuff, not so much the more new-agey stuff they did later on. Although this track is pretty nice, too.

Let's see if others might later jump in on this song-versus-music question; I've wanted to say something similar elsewhere, but never did. As for this "piece," I rather like the music -- it's very, well, musical -- but I see your point since I can't say as I'm hearing any song at all.
