Remember "Thief" with James Caan? The opening 9 minutes is an intense edge-of-your-seat ride- unless you turn the sound off! The music, as simple as it is, IS the intensity. Turn it off, and it's a guy sitting in a car, a guy playing with some wires, and a guy drilling a hole- kinda like a typical day at work!

Just watched "Thief" the other night...I'm a big Michael Mann fan, but I'd forgotten that Tangerine Dream did the sound track. (For those who haven't seen the film, think of it as the prototype for "Heat".) You also might want to grab a copy of "Sorcerer": William Friedkin used them for that soundtrack and noted that, if he had heard of them soon enough, they probably would have been used for "The Exorcist" instead of Mike Oldfield.
