These soundtracks are recommended to everyone who likes good electronic sound. We picked 13 titles you should listen to, but there are many more. So as I always say, "feel free and explore"

1. DRIVE 2012


Martinez merged '80s synth sounds with up-to-date electro for this sexy, brooding score. Drive stands out as one of the finest cinematic synthesizer moments in recent years, creating a weirdly retro, nocturnal feel to match Nicolas Winding Refn's stylized filmmaking.





2. HANNA 2011

Hanna's soundtrack is energetic, dark and trippy. And it fits with the mood of the film perfectly.The Chemical Brothers did a great job once again.

3. TRON LEGACY 2010

After a year long chase, movie director Joseph Kosinski finally got Daft Punk to compose music for Tron Legacy. This was their debut fim score.

4. BERLIN CALLING 2008


The entire soundtrack was made by Paul Kalkbrenner, with the exception of “Mango”, recorder by Sasha Funke. Deep house and minimal techno all the way in.




5. PARTY MONSTER 2003


Party Monster revolves around the late-'80s/early-'90s New York club scene. Great producers and musicians like Ladytron, Miss Kittin, Nina Hagen, Marilyn Manson and Vitalic are part of this compilation.



6. HUMAN TRAFFIC 1999


Human Traffic is one of the better films about rave culture. The two-disc set features Orbital, Death in Vegas, CJ Bolland, Fat Boy Slim; The second CD is mixed by renowned DJ Pete Tong.




7. RUN LOLA RUN 1998

While Lola is running to acquire 100.000 German marks to save her boyfriends life Orchestral and aggressive drum & bass goes throughout the soundtrack. Interesting fact is that the Tom Tykwer, who is the director, is also the composer of most of the soundtrack.

8. PI 1998

Darren’s collaboration with Clint Mansell begins with this excellent soundtrack which includes music of Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Massive Attack. It even features the classic Ed Rush & Optical remix of Reprazent's "Watching Windows." Orbital and Gus Gus are part of it as well.

The Saint is a thriller from the late '90s starring Val Kilmer.

10. THE JACKAL 1997

Through this American political/action/thriller movie, which is a loose remakeof the 1973 film The Day of the Jackal, you can hear a lot of good music. From Prodigy's "Poison" to the Moby mainstay "Shining," Primal Screams classic "Star" , Massive Attack and many more. The original score for "The Jackal" was composed by Carter Burwell, but it was never officially released on CD.

11. TRINSPOTTING 1996

A great example of the mid-90s club life in Britain. 29 songs compiled by Damon Albarn (Blur) ranked as the 7th best motion picture soundtrack in history by Vanity Fair.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
