Can anyone post or mail me a complete as possible list of
Tangerine Dream Soundtrack Albums?  If the did not do the
music for "Midnight Express" can you tell me who did?
Thanks in advance for the cooperation.

Information from Lotusland:

Music for Midnight Express was composed by Giorgio Moroder.
It won an Oscar for Best Original Score in 1978 (beating out,
among other nominees, John Williams for Superman).

	    Tangerine Dream also did The Sorcerer. If you want fantastic
     soundtracks with more ominous sounds that you could shake a 40 chicken
     at, then check out Bernard Hermann. Nemo would have been proud...

Tangerine Dream DID write the music for Visionquest. It got axed when it was
decided that TD soundtrack will not bring as much revenue in LP sales as 
Madonna, etc. Well, so they were right! *I* would have bought the Tangerine 
Dream album, most of the Madonna croud would not.

For other TD soundracks see movies : "The Keep", "Thief"...
I am sure Peter Reiher would be able to name more if asked.....

Tangerine Dream's earliest soundtrack is "Sorcerer".  Very creepy, very 
effective.  They also wrote a soundtrack for "The Soldier", though I'm unsure if
that soundtrack was used.  I think that, in addition to "Risky Business", "Thief", and "The Keep", they did some documen-
taries, but I wouldn't swear to it.

They also did the soundtrack to a relatively obscure sf film, WAVELENGTH.

Tangerine Dream also did the soundtrack for Firestarter.  Quite the 
mood setting soundtrack.
