This is the original soundtrack album for the American film "Thief," directed by Michael Mann, with music composed by the titans of Krautrock electronic music, Tangerine Dream. It features compositions from the period when the group consisted of Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, and Johannes Schmoelling. While some tracks prominently feature flashy synth work, others evoke the atmosphere of Düsseldorf and Berlin School influences, such as the Krautrock 8-beat rhythms reminiscent of Neu! on track A2 and the cosmic soundscape continuing the legacy of the group's early works on track A3. The album unfolds a distinctive array of music characteristic of crime movies.
A2: Dr. Destructo
A3: Diamond Dialy
