Actually, only part of "Tangram Set 1" was used in Risky Business. Also used were parts of "Exit" (from the album of the same name), "Force Majeure" and "Cloudburst Flight" from Force Majeure, and some new music.

All this talk about Tangerine Dream music being used in movie soundtracks
brings up a question: There are a lot of movie soundtracks with Tangerine
Dream music and while some, like "Thief" and "The Sorcerer", use original
music that was composed for the film and does not appear on any other
Tangerine Dream album, others, like "Risky Business", use music that appeared
on albums like "Tangram" and "Exit" that were done a couple of years before.
I have a friend who is trying to get the complete collection of TD's recorded
music. It would be useless for him to get the "Risky Business" soundtrack
since he already has all of the music on other albums, but the "Thief" and
"Sorcerer" soundtracks are essential for his collection. My question is,
which soundtrack albums should he buy and which ones are useless to him?
The old pieces are often retitled when they are used in a movie, so you can't
usually tell just by looking at the album covers. Only someone who has seen
the movie or heard the soundtrack album, and is familiar with their other
albums can tell for sure.
