Tangerine Legend

  After a conversation with seester, I was left longing for Ridley Scott's masterpiece Legend.  This is my favorite movie.  All it takes is just the first 4 notes of the intro to give me chills.  This is in part because it is the first movie I really remember watching.  I remember always being so sad at the end.  The song " Loved by the Sun" kicks on  there's the beautiful forest with the unicorns galloping, bits of fluff floating in the breeze, the ethereal light, and of course all of our new friends waving goodbye.  It still breaks my heart and I just want to start the movie over so we can do it again. The movie is of course beyond words fantastic.  It wasn't until five minutes ago ( yes I'm always up til 5 am or later) that I realized that the soundtrack is in fact perfect.  Perfect.  Forget its a soundtrack and just listen to the music , which you can do on youtube sans movie.

copy and paste into your browser and listen.  Tangerine Dream composed the soundtrack.   I had never heard anything else they had done besides the Legend soundtrack.  I spent all night listening to their other work.  I'm blown away.  No really.   I'm really speechless.   Why weren't they superstars?!   So next time youve got nothing better to do  youtube some Tangerine Dream.  Di you do it?  Oh man!  Don't worry those goosebumps will go away in about 20 minutes.  Word.

  1. You were too right about the director's cut. The Tangerine-dreamless soundtrack crushed my poor little heart like an errant bug. Suuuuch a let down man.
