OSTs similar to Manhunter


One of the things that I loved about this movie was its OST. It has a very 80s haunting feel to it. Drive also had a similar kind of OST, though it had more of a disco feel to it.

Are there similar OSTs or songs which sound like Shriekback - This Big Hush.

Thanks in advance.

Are you only looking for tunes that sounds like The Big Hush or similar to the whole soundtrack?

THIEF (earlier film by Michael Mann) - soundtrack album by Tangerine Dream

Be sure you buy this CD and not one of the older ones that's also listed on Amazon. It's cheaper, and remastered, with additional tracks.

This CD and Manhunter go very well together.

I'm amazed nobody mentioned "Blade Runner" by Vangelis. Cliff Martinez's "Neon Demon" is worth mentioning, too.

There is also a guy called Kuedo, he put an album called "Slow Knife" last year and it was influenced by soundtracks from 80s, "Manhunter" being one of them. You should definitely check it out (Kuedo also sampled aforementioned Vangelis score on his previous LP).

Do you have any tobacco?
