    Pardon me, I was recalling the movie from 37 years ago. I hadn't committed it to my long term memory very well. Next time I won't err.

    Damnit lanny, don't let it happen again.

    Here's a live concert from Jean Michel Jarre. His live shows are spectacular musically and visually.

    I'll try but I can't make any promises what with the alzheimer's and all.

    The music is of a similar genre. The problem is that the Tangerine Dream music was a fluke thing. They've done nothing else that I liked. Maybe it's just that the music fit the movie so ideally, I really don't know. Kind of reminds me of Journey's Don't Stop Believin' which I love although I don't like anything else they've done. One shot wonders.

    Not a Journey fan eh? Here is a couple of their edgier songs along with one of my all time early favorites. Steve Perry has an exceptional voice and Neil Schon is an outstanding guitarist.





    Besides, chicks dug their music. :bgrin:

    BTW if you're a fan music from Michael Mann films. They just re-released the soundtrack to the movie he did after Thief, Manhunter. Doesn't have a lot of name groups involved but a lot of the 80's synthwave bands that really influenced modern soundtracks.

    Yeah. Been going through my Tony Joe White albums since he passed. I loved this Donnie Frits/Eddie Hinton song that
    was written specifically for White to record. It's a stone R&B classic.

    Great movie and Iron Butterfly's Inna gadda da vida was the perfect song for the capture scene. I also enjoyed the Red Dragon which was essentially the same story from a different perspective with Edward Norton playing the William Petersen role and a prequel to Silence of the Lambs.

    Anything with In-A-Godda-Da-Vida in it is going to be good. That's one of my all time favorites.

    He looks like Bill Walton's twin...the dude was a southern fried swamp soul blues funk master...Poke Salad Annie was a favorite of mine but Rainy Night in Georgia is one of the greatest ballads ever written in my book

    And here's my favorite artist Rory Gallagher covering a Tony Joe White song, As The Crow Flies. They met at the famous Isle Of Wight festival.
