The most "progressive" movie soundtrack?

The answer is without a doubt the Japanese movie Dream After Dream in which Journey did the soundtrack. It’s one of my top ten favorite albums ever too.

Absolutely Vander´s Tristan Et Yseult! I think it was originally already Magma´s second movement of Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy and Vander just used opportunity to record that piece in the studio. Also haven´t seen the movie, so don´t know how much music is used in that movie. Anyway it´s originally released as soundtrack album of that movie under Vander´s name. I really love also Floyd´s More.

Great movie.  Great music.  Great musician.  Wonderful person.  Love Fred Frith.

It wouldn't and I like synchronicity, or almost synchronicity (since it's not simultaneous). It seems that Les Revenants is a show that I'm always banging on about. Your choice from it was one of my two alternates if acts included in Prog were allowed. I was happy to go with the Utopia one, which is also I think a progressive TV show soundtrack, even if not Prog. I'll share that here for those that don't participate in the Interactive Polls.

I forgot to mention one of my very favourite soundtracks, it's Bobby Beausoleil with the Freedom Orchestra's Lucifer Rising that was for a short Kenneth Anger film. It was created/ performed. and recorded in prison because Beausoil (and his band members) were inmates. Beausoleil was convicted of murder in a Charlie Manson-related case and remains in prison. Originally he was given the death penalty, but that changed because of changes in California state law.



Jimmy page was to do the soundtrack at one time but had a falling out with Anger, he still recorded a soundtrack for it, which I like too.

That was one of my mentions in the TV soundtracks interactive round. It's also one of my very favourite TV series of the past decade.

I mentioned Art Zoyd too, good call.
