Giorgio Moroder

If you listen to coast to coast they play his song Chase from the Midnight Express film. It seems he's done alot, what else should I hear from him?

This guys been around for years. Other than his own stuff and Donna Summer, the only other thing I can think of is the soundtrack to Cat people.

IMO the full lenght version of "Cat People" sung by David Bowie is incredible!
It's really powerful and atmospheric, and it shows one of the best vocal performance Bowie ever did (nothing to share with the "Let's Dance" version...)

I really dig that soundtrack. I was just listening to it a couple of months ago.

"The Chase" is my song. I added it to my friend's iPod. Then this weekend, a different vinyl-digging buddy bought Midnight Express soundtrack and confessed to loving its likeness to "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer.

If you referring to Art Bell's former show (Coast To Coast) i've always wondered why he never used...



...The Nightfly as a theme song (or at least a recurring bumper).

The cover shot is perfect and the tune sounds tailor made

I'm Lester the Nightfly
Hello Baton Rouge
Won't you turn your radio down
Respect the seven second delay we use

So you say there's a race
Of men in the trees

You're for tough legislation
Thanks for calling
I wait all night for calls like these



Anyway, regarding Moroder's output, there's always this...

Check out the album "No. 1 In Heaven" by Sparks (1979). It's one of most influential and hard-hitting albums Moroder ever produced. Tunes like "The Number One Song In Heaven" and "Tryouts For The Human Race" aren't just songs, they're opuses. The effects of this album are still felt in the arenas of dance, rock and electronic music. It's out-of-print mostly everywhere, but a German import is available at www.cduniverse.com for $10.79. Well worth it.

Not sure about 'No More Words', but he did co-write and produce 'Take My Breath Away'.

He also did the soundtrack to the silent movie Metropolis when it was rereleased in 1984.Alot of film purists hated it, but I thought it fit the film well..
