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.

9. THE SAINT 1997


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.

The second and third are a mix of music "inspired by the film" as well as music actually in the film. The most featured song in the movie is "Voodoo People" by The Prodigy.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
