Leopardskin Fassbinder

At the height of Tangerine Dream's popularity in the early 1980s, founding member Edgar Froese went off in '82 for a rare solo film score, Kamikaze 1989. This bizarre sci-fi crime thriller is most famous for starring legendary director Rainer Werner Fassbinder (who died later the same year from a drug overdose) as the outrageously-clad Inspector Jansen, who's investigating a series of brutal bombings across Germany. Froese's score could easily fit with the rest of his group's discography, as it's packed with hypnotic, catchy, electronic waves of sound, especially the standout "Blue Panther."
