I would have to look up the "Das Boot" scores as I am not familiar with those.
The novel Logan's Run was infinitely better than the movie adaptation (basically the first young adult dystopia novel about the desire to live beyond the government sanctioned year of 30 (movie) or 21 (novel), so I'd recommend reading the the novel first if you're interested (written by two Twilight Zone script writers in three weeks and it feels almost like a Twilight Zone story). It's a ridiculously fast read and filled with a lot of crazy imagery that shockingly mirrored the actual counterculture of the late 60s.
I love synth based soundtracks (coming from my John Carpenter movie filled teens and twenties, and Goblin filled 30s and beyond. Both Carpenter and Goblin were known for their synth rock scores for a variety of movies; Carpenter largely his own work and Goblin with various 70s and 80s Italian genre directors). Of course, there is John Williams whose work on Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark still takes my breath away.
Now, that is an amazing album. I remember hearing it as a teenager - over a decade after it was released and thinking it was absolutely spellbinding.
Music for me tonight - after watching the movie (which I enjoyed) - was the soundtrack from "Grand Hotel Budapest."
Perfect song for a Monday.
80's throwback -
New order - Blue Monday.
Damn, does this bring back memories...

Oh, yes, great song, - I remember when that song came out, I was a student at the time.
Actually, that song was one of those on the soundtrack for the superb German TV series "Deutschland 83".
A selection from the wonderful Ennio Morricone, whom I had the privilege of seeing perform live last year.
Followed by Dire Straits (the group, not the political situation), with classics such as "Sultans of Swing" (now, that was a brilliant song), "Love Over Gold", "Private Investigations", "Money For Nothing", "Romeo and Juliet", "Brothers In Arms", and "Going Home (the theme from "The Local Hero"), among others.

Yeah, thanks, but I have to say that's kind of what I thought, too.
Love this album. One of, if not my favorite Who's album.
Not sure why I am listening to Dire Straits for the second consecutive night.
Nothing whatsoever to do with the current situation. Nothing at all.
Just music.......but what wonderful music. Next up, maybe, Madness........

A blast from the past, but a distant one.
The album (on CD, and now on my MBA's iTunes) is called "My Mind Goes High: Psychedelic Pop Nuggets From The WEA Vaults", and some of the individual tracks included "Pandora's Golden Herbie Jeebies", "Man of Straw", "White Pony", "Lucifer", "Antique Doll", - all from different artists - and the wonderful "Smell of Incense" courtesy of the wonderfully named West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band.
What is there not to like?

Just discovered this from 2012. Apparently it topped the iTunes classical chart and I missed it completely.
It's like listening to an old favorite for the first time.

More from the vaults of the psychedelic sixties.
Another album of "lesser known" hits: This one is called "Psychedelia at Abbey Road 1965-1969". Full of lovely songs in minor, melancholic keys. Love it.

Making Movies is another one of those albums I like to listen to in full, so I did this morning.
EDIT: I think tomorrow I'll take in the glory of Love Over Gold and see how it has held up as a collection.

I am not sure how many others here seek out, or trip over, or purchase the Putumayo range of wonderful CDs of world music.
Over the years, partly because I travel (and work abroad) a lot, - for work (mostly) and for pleasure, (partly), and also, partly because I like odd, strange, esoteric music that reflects the culture of see of the "mad" places I have visited, I have bought quite a few of the Putumayo range; actually, I snap them up when I see them, as they often provide a fascinating introduction to the music of countries, cultures and regions that I might otherwise never have met.
Tonight, therefore, I am listening to the Putumayo CD "Italian Musical Odyssey". And the actual track I am listening to is called "Attinde" (from Sardinia).

And more from the Putumayo label: Some Greek music, (and no, not Manos Hadjidakis, much though I like his music).
This one is called: "Putumayo Presents Greece: A Musical Odyssey."

Well, I love the soundtrack to "Das Boot" - it complements the movie/TV series (the TV series was a very extended version of the movie, or, rather, the movie was a condensed version of the TV series, and, personally, I think the TV series better).
The series enjoys considerable popularity among German military and police, and - apart from the superb production values, and meticulous attention to historical detail (which one would expect from a German production) it is noteworthy for having been the first screen based German treatment of the actual war (the second world war) since the war itself.
The movie/TV series is loosely based on Gunther Lothar Buchheim's book "Das Boot".
