Album Overview

Thief is Tangerine Dream's soundtrack for Michael Mann's 1981 film, combining atmospheric synthesizers with pulsing electronic rhythms and a distinctly nocturnal mood. The music helped establish the band's reputation for creating cinematic electronic soundscapes and became an influential example of electronic film scoring. Its combination of tension, repetition, and spacious textures perfectly complements the film's urban atmosphere. This Japanese pressing is an attractive collectible for fans of Tangerine Dream, electronic music, and classic film soundtracks.
