Often imitated but never fully replicated is Vangelis’ Golden Globe nominated synth score. Recorded on an Yamaha’s CS-80 synthesizer, these ambient textures were as vital to creating the universe of the film as the set design (which drew inspiration from Edward Hopper paintings and Fritz Lang’s Metropolis), costume, lighting and Orwellian ‘Cityspeak’ language invented for the film.

THIS is why the movie is great. The soundtrack was PERFECT. It made the movie. Don't believe me? Watch it with the mute button on, you'll think it is some low-budget, made-for-network-TV replicant of a real science fiction movie.

It is perfect for the film. By coincidence I was watching a video about vintage synths yesterday which featured the Yamaha CS-80. I couldn’t believe the amount of hand wiring it had inside. All of these intricate bundles of hand soldered point to point wires. I was trying to imagine how long the QC checkout must have taken.

Try watching star wars or rocky without the music.
It made those two movies..
