FIRESTARTER (OST)

This is another movie soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. It is a soundtrack of a movie about a young girl who has the supernatural power to start fire, so do expect some weird, nervous & worrying streams of keyboards. It sounds like albums like Hyperborea and even Poland, if one considers the many percussive & brief keyboards notes. There are a couples of very good, floating, smooth, charming and relaxing songs: "Crystal voice" and "Charlie the kid": those 2 songs are the main reason to get this record: they sound a bit like the "Hyperborea" track! Globally, the tracks are rather suited for this kind of movie. This album is among the good Tangerine Dream's soundtracks, because it can easily be listened and enjoyed without watching the movie, and because it has a studio album flavor.

Rating: 3.5 stars
