Curious to know how many prog bands made soundtracks to films. Tangerine Dream, Goblin and Pink Floyd are only a few I can list. When watching movies I hear great sound tracks, but never from progressive artists!..

Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin have all composed soundtracks. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

Guru Guru even starred in a German TV-movie called "Notwehr" ("Self-Defense"), and I mean starred; they had major roles, especially Mani Neumeier who played one of the male leads. the other male leads were played by Günter Lamprecht, one of the very best German actors, and Friedrich von Thun. of course Guru Guru supplied the soundtrack as well -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

The best known of Emerson's soundtracks is for the Sylvester Stallone film, "Nighthawks". "Best Revenge" is another US movie he did. He also did some Italian and Japanese movies, including one of the Godzilla movies. The 2 Wakeman movies I know about are "Lisztomania", a crappy movie with Roger Daltrey in the starring role, and Wakeman in a funny cameo. The other I saw was "The Burning", a blatant "Friday the 13th" ripoff. Wakeman's music in Lisztomania was great. The Burning, not so much. I can't remember which movies Rabin scored, but I know I've seen him frequently in credits. Gabriel did "Birdy" and "The Last Temptation of Christ". ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

| I keep on thinking that prog would be a wonderful genre to do soundtracks. You could get the traditional "song" parts, plus the instrumental dramatic parts in one same song, etc. Oh, and I do wish Wakeman's music from the Myths and Legends album would be used in a movie about King Arthur (though perhaps in a more orchstral version, without the rock instruments). |

Popol Vuh did a lot of soundtracks, most notably for the Werner Herzog movies "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" and his remake of "Nosferatu" ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

Journey did Dream After Dream. Musically, quite a departure (no pun intended) from the type of music they were producing at that time.

oho, there are many excellent German movies. currently there is "Toni Erdmann", the 3rd movie by female German director Maren Ade. in the view of many film critics (and in my opinion too) a movie with an excellent chance to win the "Best Foreign Language Movie" Oscar next year. it has already won several awards, including the FIPRESCI award at the Cannes film festival (it was also nominated for the Palme d'Or there), an honor never before bestowed on a female movie director.the movie will be released in the USA on Dec 25th this year. don't underestimate German movies; there have been so many excellent ones. just think of "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" which has pretty high rankings in many "best movies of all time" lists, often even getting a top ten spot in them. another brilliant German movie with similar reputation and rankings is Fritz Lang's "M" (actually it is Friede's favorite movie of all times). though it is 84 years old meanwhile it still is an excellent and gripping movie (and much better than Lang's "Metropolis". I usually prefer European movies to US movies. there are of course some exceptions, but as a rule of thumbs they are much more audacious and therefore in my opinion much more interesting than the generally much too streamlined US movies ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

I still find Tangerine Dream, Goblin, Pink Floyd and Vangelis head the list of movies.
I need more, even though I like Goblins music, will not watch the movies, they were in.

...a rather hilarious mis-use of prog music in film was the use of King Crimson's "The Devil's Triangle" in the movie of the same name, starring narration by the late, great Vincent Price!! The poster said "Music by King Crimson," and I was expecting quite a bit more!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071416/" rel="nofollow - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071416/
