Thief Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Vinyl - 1LP

The album is presented in a die-cut package designed by Jay Shaw, with liner notes by David Sims, and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl.

Years before MIAMI VICE, HEAT and MANHUNTER, director Michael Mann first tackled the crime genre with a film starring James Caan, about a Chicago diamond thief and his last big hit. It seems simple enough, but while it could easily have seemed like a holdover from the New Hollywood movement of the '70s, THIEF fits squarely into the '80s thanks to the incredible, and at the time revolutionary, approach of Tangerine Dream when it comes to film music.

They kicked off a wave of electronic film music - Tangerine Dream alone scored nearly twenty films during the '80s - but THIEF has always been one of our favorites, and we're honored to re-release it as the film's 40th anniversary approaches.
