A personal favorite of mine:
"Jake Speed"
By: Mark Snow
The sounds, which I believe to be 95% electronic synth, are unminstakably 80's, but while other may say it sounds dated, I have to say so what? It's got chatchy themes and mortifs and is a fun listen from beginning to end.
Varese Sarabande released a 30min LP. I hope for a complete, remastered score one day.
Fans of his work for "The X-Files" (and "MillenniuM") who find this isn't anywhere near the Mark Snow we know these days. A couple cues end in an X-Files-ish way, but other than that, this doesn't sound like Mark Snow of the 90's/00's. I have the second largest collection of his work, and nothing comes close to this. It's my personal favorite of his movie work.
Lest we forget Mike Post & Pee Carpenter's work on "Magnum, pi" was an 80's thing. (additional composers not mentioned).
Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home -- Leonard Rosenman
Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier -- Jerry Goldsmith, R.I.P.
One of this best, how could you guys forget?
