Haslinger scored 4 movies for Roth between 1987 and 1990 as part of Tangerine Dream (TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT, DEAD SOLID PERFECT, RAINBOW DRIVE, THE MAN INSIDE).

Now the two of them have hooked up again after almost 30 years of not working together. Roth worked extensively with Christopher Franke between 1995 and 2010, before Franke seemed to more or less disappear from the scoring world.

I really hope for a soundtrack album from PEARL.

For some bizarre reason, the film is not on imdb yet.

Here is the trailer:

I'm not a fan of Haslinger after Tangerine Dream. His soundtracks are too incidental and he's so far removed from the sound of his TD stint that it doesn't even feel like Haslinger. I remember when the 90's sound of TD began to emerge in soundtracks like ZONING, MAN INSIDE and RED NIGHTS I didn't care for it. Now, 30 years later I actually embrace the sound compared to what's out there these days. That Korg acoustic lead and Yamaha DX-7 Stratotro voice Edgar Froese put on every single album sort of became my 90's life soundtrack vibe. Even Franke went down some weird, incidental path with his BABYLON 5 works and odd new age albums which were strangely void of any classic Franke sequence ratcheting. Anyway, I say bring on CITY OF SHADOWS, RED NIGHTS, RAINBOW DRIVE. If anyone can make it happen, Ford can. He's one of the few OST producers that has always given TD the love they deserve.

Of all the unreleased Haslinger batch I think RED NIGHTS would be the best. Gotta love the DX-7 BLOODSPORT voice at 4:30.

I agree that Haslinger hasn't been particularly interesting the last 31 years.

RED NIGHTS is one of the few TD-scored films I still havent seen. Is there enough material for a release? There is a chapter ("The soundtrack at Sunset Marquis") about the recording of this score in Edgar's autobiography. Hilarious stuff, where the producer Moshe Diamant tried to pay Edgar with diamonds for the score.

I guess labels like Perseverance and Notefornote also could release TD-scores.

Good question. If not, RED NIGHTS/CITY OF SHADOWS twofer is a callin'. Did you watch that clip? Definitely some NEAR DARK vibes.

A twofer would be fine.

I still have my VHS of CITY OF SHADOWS. Quite a bit of good music there.

Yes, saw the clip. Intriguing stuff.
