fantastic soundtrack

The soundtrack "Thief" was created by the German electronic music pioneers Tangerine Dream with Virgin in 1981 as a record and in 1985 he was veröffentlicht.Eingespielt and composed on CD in the occupation Franke / Schmoelling / Froese.
At first listen, the music you do not think necessarily that it serves as a soundtrack for a gangster movie with James Caan;
the first association is probably more towards science fiction, because the electronic sounds come along very "space" ig.
The sound is floating, often accompanied by driving rhythms, completely instrumental, extremely high (analog) synthesizer parts, sequencer runs, a shrill electric guitar create the typical Tangerine Dream feel of the 80s.
Soundtrack typically the tracks have fallen rather short, but because they are different from the tone and style from the little, you will not constantly torn from one mood to the next.
"Thief" has become a really good, very rocking Electronic album.
"Igneus" is actually a revised section of the track "Thru Metamorphic Rocks" of the TD-album "Force Majeure".
Some vinyl pressings of the track "Confrontation" by Craig Safan is included; with this piece have nothing to TD tun.Er contains a really strong guitar part, only it sounds so after "Comfortably Numb" (Pink Floyd, The Wall) that he lacks something the autonomy and not so interesting to me why he enthusiastically ist.Viele difficult.
On the first CD release he is missing, as well as on the 1995 remastered edition (also Virgin).
The remastering of "Definitive Edition" was conducted by Simon Heyworth (Chop`em Out).
The tonal value is kept within limits, because already the first edition but is quite appealing klang.Ein difference audible.
Simon Heyworth has fortunately hardly reduces the good dynamic range of the first edition, so that one with the sound
can be very satisfied; that he used "Super Bit Mapping" (SBM) by Sony, is not exactly a disadvantage.

There is also an unofficial release of the album; these "Extended" edition contains several modified versions of the pieces as bonus material.
