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.
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 "Dr. Destructo" have a fast-paced percussion
tempo. An engaging melody on "Beach Theme" makes it one of the album's most
familiar and popular tracks, while "Trap Feeling" has a delicacy that compares
favorably to Brian Eno's Music for Films.
The soundtrack and the movie are inseparable. The music and movie have grown
beyond cult classic status becoming an important part of the collection works of
Tangerine Dream and Mann.
