Outland - 1981 Subject description: Brilliant score! Underrated movie.
This one got a lot of press back then. Even Heavy Metal ( in Europe we know the rag as Metal Hurlant ) did a few articles on it. Anyways, the score is quite brilliant and it is worth seeing the movie just for this.

The music made for the bar room scenes is quite interesting.

Essentially Outland is 'High Noon' right?

I really like Outland. Good movie! Hmmm - might put it on this weekend while the storm rages outside....as long as the power stays on. _________________ Dave

Why this sudden nostalgia, elektro80? Not that there's anything wrong with that

I saw "The Andromeda Strain" again recently and then I started to go through my collection of DVDs and tapes. I just saw "On The Beach" again.. a brilliant post-apocalypse movie, but in that case the score was absolutely misplaced and horrible. Samuel Fuller´s "The Steel Helmet" is next. Then I guess I´ll check out "Colossus: The Forbin Project". _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

On the Beach is one of those books that I don't think made a good movie. I totally loved the book better. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

Not wishing to argue, but I thought Jerry Goldsmith was responsible for the Outland soundtrack - I don't see it listed in any of the credits on the Michael Boddicker wiki page.
Outland has some great moments (like the one posted) and it's not a bad movie; it just doesn't stand up so well, when compared to some of the other sci-fi movies from that period IMO.
FWIW my favourite sci-fi movie of recent years is Moon, by Duncan Jones (a.k.a. the Son of David Bowie), with a cool score by Cliff Mansell - although the "title track" (Welcome To Lunar Industries) has become somewhat overused by UK TV shows of late.

I've seen the movie you're talking about, but in the time between seeing this thread and clicking on it my excitement grew as I thought this would have something to do with this:

Thank you, Tom, you've given me an opportunity unload some pent-up pedantry: <cough> mee..meee.meee.meee...<cough>. OK, here goes: Like guy, dewd, Logan's Run was full of Arpy goodness, doi. Gahh.
I've always loved Boddicker's score to Buckaroo Banzai. Such chipper music, indeed.

Brilliant!
My wife loves that one, and assures that the same joke could have been done the other way of sorts.. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

Gawd Scott! Tut tut, I know, I know! It's just that if you say the word Arp to most, they haven't got a clue what you are on about! _________________ ACHTUNG!

Haha! Had to laugh...
Seriously though, I think electro-music.com should be SELLING lab coats with electro-music.com logos on the pockets. I can think of a few here who would LOVE to wear one! Or maybe it's just me?
Sod the T-shirts and the Klee! We DEMAND lab coats!
Well, we could check out the actual market out there by issuing an autumn collection of pocket protectors? _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

With a white E-M lab coat I'd get some respect! I'd go from being an insane nut case making an awful racket, to an eccentric scientist engaged in some serious sonic research.
And by the way - the fact that the sequel to Buckaroo Banzai didn't get made should qualify as a Crime Against Humanity! One of the classic Hollywood screwups.
