Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks

Islandear, I just ordered it, per your recommendation. You still riding them old Beezers? Me and a bud watched "On Any Sunday" tonight- BSA`s and Trumpets, galoreeee...

Try Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to Sorcerer, also Alan
Parsons Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Alan Parsons,
I believe, was the Sound Engineer on Dark Side of the Moon.

...and Bultacos and Montesas and CZs...man, what a time that was. Elsinore and Perris were still out in the sticks and suburban sprawl was still twenty years off. None of us thought that McQueen would ever crash, much less die. Now there's tract homes up and down the high desert and Steve's been gone almost twenty-five years. But we'll always have "On Any Sunday" and that wonderful scene from "The Great Escape."

No Bonnies, Lightnings or Commandos in my garage right now, but I've been lucky before.

Another OST suggestion: Wings of Desire from Wenders' film of the same name.

Killing Fields, Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire!

hey Rx8man I think I have lots of these, though they're not sound tracks, they are concept albums. There are some good ones mentioned already above, but also try some Mike Oldfield. His best is "Ommadawn" (not Tubular Bells). Also try "Songs of Distant Earth".

Another one which may be impossible to find is Stomu Yamashta, Michael Shrieve, Al Dimeola, and Steve Winwood - "Go". It was released in 1976 - I have it on vinyl and it's worn out. I've been unable to locate a replacement.

Finally - if you want really ethereal, and involving - try David Bedford "Ryme of the Ancient Mariner". It's a somewhat quiet, and slow moving piece - you need to dedicate yourself to it for the full 40+ minutes - and it doesn't hurt to be into your 3rd scotch. It's also a 70's release, but I saw it on Amazon.com.
