Zwar   (Member) 1492 CONQUEST OF PARADISE - Vangelis 1492, absolutely wonderful score, quite a difficult film to love, but I still do Agreed about 1492 being a wonderful score, but not sure if I can still count 1492 as an electronic score? Seems to me as if at least 50% or more of its soundscape was created acoustically?    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 1:40 PM     By:   First Breath   (Member) NO SYNTH = NO SALE    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 1:51 PM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Yes, we're seeing some crazy choices here as electronic scores! LINK by Jerry Goldsmith features the NPO and a set of Simmonds drums. HEARTBEEPS by John Williams!!! Yes, there are some synths but it's just as symphonic as STAR WARS and ET. LADYHAWKE is as orchestral as they come, with some synths and a rhythm section.    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 2:05 PM     By:   Nicolai P.

I don't consider any of the scores you mention "electronic".    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 2:10 PM     By:   moroder20   (Member) Scarface - Giorgio Moroder Over The Top - Giorgio Moroder Cobra - Sylvester Levay No Retreat No Surrender - Frank Harris Fright Night II - Brad Fiedel A Nightmare On Elm Street - Charles Bernstein .....and many more    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 2:12 PM     By:   ryanpaquet   (Member)    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 2:19 PM     By:   slint   (Member) François de Roubaix - La mer est grande, L'antarctique Basically, Le Monde électronique de François de Roubaix Volume 1 & 2 Nothing can beat that.    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 2:22 PM     By:   First Breath   (Member) 1492 CONQUEST OF PARADISE - Vangelis 1492, absolutely wonderful score, quite a difficult film to love, but I still do Agreed about 1492 being a wonderful score, but not sure if I can still count 1492 as an electronic score?

Carpenter - Escape from New York 3. Vangelis - Antarctica 4. Moroder - Cat People 5. Schulze - Body Love But the list could go on and on    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 2:37 PM     By:   Adm Naismith   (Member) 2010 Blue Thunder The Terminator (I never really listened to this until this week. It's like mainlining the 80s) Forbidden Planet Wendy Carlos's work    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 2:58 PM     By:   ray92   (Member) Why limit to 5?

Great list!    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 3:09 PM     By:   ray92   (Member) Scarface - Giorgio Moroder Over The Top - Giorgio Moroder Cobra - Sylvester Levay No Retreat No Surrender - Frank Harris Fright Night II - Brad Fiedel A Nightmare On Elm Street - Charles Bernstein .....and many more I am very disappointed that Scarface, Over the Top and Cobra still do not have an official release of the score.    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 3:13 PM     By:   Spinmeister   (Member) “Essential” is debatable, but these favourites have gotten the most play time: 100% electronic (in no particular order): Antartica Prince of Darkness Sorcerer Witness Criminal Law = or > 50% electronic + acoustic (in no particular order): Blade Runner Tron Sheena Alexander Extreme Prejudice    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 7:12 PM     By:   Paul MacLean   (Member) “Essential” is debatable, but these favourites have gotten the most play time: 100% electronic (in no particular order): Antartica Prince of Darkness Sorcerer Witness Criminal Law = or > 50% electronic + acoustic (in no particular order): Blade Runner Tron Sheena Alexander Extreme Prejudice That's a better and more sensible way of compiling one of these lists. So many "electronic scores" are hybrids of electronic and acoustic.    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 7:56 PM     By:   Filmmaker   (Member) It took twenty posts for someone to list HALLOWEEN and it has yet to be mentioned again and I am so not okay with this.    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 8:02 PM     By:   BTTFFan   (Member) Blade Runner - Vangelis The Terminator - Fiedel Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks - Eno 1492: Conquest of Paradise - Vangelis Halloween - Carpenter    Posted:   May 12, 2021 - 11:39 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) It took twenty posts for someone to list HALLOWEEN and it has yet to be mentioned again and I am so not okay with this. Youre welcome. I loved Assault on Precinct 13 too, but Halloween was his first, most obvious electronic score. If id got to the thread sooner, it wouldnt have been 20 posts!    Posted:   May 13, 2021 - 12:01 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I'm kinda surprised TERMINATOR features on so many lists. No doubt it would feature on my own top 10 list of landmark synth scores - in terms of how it's used in the film. But outside the main theme, I've never been able to listen to it on its own.    Posted:   May 13, 2021 - 1:56 AM     By:   moolik   (Member) FORBIDDEN PLANET is probably the most "important" electronic score.Being the first one...
