Endangered Species (1982) Soundtrack Brilliance
I was just watching an old film from the 1980's called Endangered Species (1982) about secret government germ warfare tests on American citizens and cattle mutilations.

Okay film, some good scenes especially the silent black helicopter.
But I noticed that I was listening to the soundtrack more than I was watching the movie.
The soundtrack to the film is brilliant.
If you like the soundtracks of the films below - then get this film and listen to the soundtrack, recorded by a guy called Gary Wright - it is brilliant.
1) Hanna by The Chemical Brothers
2) Zabriski Point - Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead and The Rolling Stones
3) The Keep - Tangerine Dream
4) Bladerunner - Vangelis
Then you will love the soundtrack on Endangered Species.
It is one of those rare films where the soundtrack is so good, that you want to watch the film atgain to listen to the soundtrack.
As a fan of bands like Boards of Canada, Orbital, The Prodigy and Basement Jaxx who produce soundscapes - the soundtrack reminded me of a cross between The Chemical Brothers album soundtrack from Hannah (2011) and The Keep soundtrack by Tamgerine Dream.
If you like the soundtracks of those two films, then you will love the soundtrack of Endangered Species (1982.
