There are several Werner Herzog movies with a soundtrack by Popol Vuh,
and several Dario Argento movies with a soundtrack by Goblin. (I just saw Buffalo 66 and was surprised to hear King Crimson and Yes on the soundtrack. Then there's one Walerian Borowczyk movie (I can't remember which one) that has Shine on You Crazy Diamond on the background of a fairly long scene.) |

It's a very good soundtrack. One of my favourites is the soundtrack to La Planete Sauvage by Alain Goraguer: ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

TD's 'wavelength', 'sorcerer' and 'legend' (well, more electronic music than prog) Slasher movies by Dario Argento featured music by Goblins, then Keith Emerson for 'inferno' (also iron maiden on 'phenomena'  )Klaus Schulze's album 'Body love' is the soundtrack for an erotic movie. Vangelis also recorded soundtracks to movies but I am not sure they could be regarded "prog". Herbie Hancock's album 'fat albert rotunda' is the soundtrack to the Bill Cosby TV show http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Albert_and_the_Cosby_Kids - 'Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids' . There is also the soundtrack to 'the Wall' by Pink Floyd. One of the themes of Michel Colombier's symphonic jazz-rock album 'Wings' was used as ending credits to a french TV program. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

| Oh, I'm afraid I know just about no movie with a prog soundtrack. Yet I do believe that prog could be used to great effect in movies. Those long instrumental passages and climatic pieces would be great for movies, if done the right way for not frightening the non-progger public. A prog band could do the job instead of an orchestra. I believe Avatar should have had a soundtrack by Yes related men... perhaps Jon Anderson with Mike Oldfield (and Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe playing acoustic in some parts; and ofcourse with Roger Dean designing the world). And I would also love to see a new good King Arthur movie (faithfull to the myths) with a Rick Wakeman soundtrack (only in this case it would have to be the orchestra with Rick Wakeman playing only acoustic piano, and perhaps having a band like The Strawbs playing the "song parts" in a "folk" way). |

Yes the director (Vincent Gallo) of that movie (Buffalo 66) is a musician (bass player) that was playing some covers of King Crimson and Yes in 1974 (he was looking like Chris Squire.) I really enjoyed this movie and was completely surprised when Moonchild, Heart of the Sunrise and Sweetdreams songs appeared. ------------- Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

| Is it worth watching, presdoug??? As I've looked it up and found it's called Calibre 9 over here, and it's got absolutely no reviews in the usual places I check...It does sound intriguing. |

just recalled something-the soundtrack to the Italian film Garofano Rosso, done by none other than Banco (without Francesco di Giacomo) in the mid seventies the music is Banco in their sensitive, moving kind of way, the keyboard (especially the piano) is quite nice |

Bobby Beausoleil's Lucifer Rising along with Alain Goraguer's already mentioned La Planete Sauvage and Popol Vuh's Herz aus Glass & Nosferatu are the ultimate progressive rock scores for me, but there's plenty more out there. Ennio Morricone La classe Operaia va in Paradiso mm... Fabio Frizzi The Beyond Ash Ra Tempel Le Berceau de Cristal Trans Europa Express Il Gatto Dagli Occhi di Giada Vangelis Sex Power Goblin are great, but I think they're releases are quite uneven. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

Inferno is a good one
Keith Emerson has also done a few others like Best Revenge and Nighthawks which are worth mentioning although Inferno is the proggiest sounding one.
Vangelis and Tangerine Dream have done some good ones. My favourite is Blade Runner although TD's Firestarter is a superb soundtrack and a very interesting film featuring a young Drew Barrymore in a role she took just after ET and somewhat different!

Birdy's soundtrack was done by Peter Gabriel.
Gabriel and Deep Forest are on the one for Strange Days.
John Paul Jones got Jimmy Page and Jon Anderson for Scream For Help.
Anderson and Bryan Ferry sing in Legend.
Various prog-related bits in some of Trevor Rabin's output.

The most progressive film music I ever experienced is from Paul Leduc's Barroco (1989). There's no narrative, only music. Music is like a mixture of Gentle Giant and...anything!! I never heard something similar before! I can't find that movie anywhere. ------------- |

Keith also recorded a bunch of music for Godzilla: Final Wars. A couple Japanese synthesists did, too, and so the soundtrack CD contains music by both. Keith also recorded scores for the animated film Harmageddon and an Iron Man animated series.
Firestarter is also one of my favorite TD soundtracks, along with Thief and Near Dark (an underrated vampire flick from '87).
(Heck, a sequencer track from Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy score reminds me of TD, too.)
On the Goblin side of things, another group Libra recorded the music for the horror film Schock.
Fabio Frizzi's score for The Beyond is excellent, and the reissue has a bonus track, a band performance of one of the tracks that I know HAS to have a couple of the guys from Goblin onboard. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
