runaway music from the soundtrack composed by Jerry Goldsmith 1984 complete electronic music contains main title, she went home, alley fight and the resolution
Jerry posed to himself another challenge in his long long successful career as a music composer with this soundtrack to the classic movie Runaway. And he answered that challenge very affirmatively as he strayed away from his usual orchestral territory and composed an entirely exciting and very energetic electronic score! One of the many and very impressive milestones in Jerry's career. Listening to this classic score always makes me wish he was still around to compose music. But he left behind enough scores for everybody to be proud of and be thankful to have such extraordinarily great music to listen to. This score like his many others will always pay tribute to his masterful scoring that always gave the movies that it accompanied a magnificent ora of excitement,drama, action and suspense!
OMG I just realized something! This movie had a drone in it!! Remember when Selleck sends it into the house to find the robot? Decades before they existed
This clip is priceless! I always loved Jerry Goldsmith's synth score to "Runaway", a major Crichton fav of mine. Makes my Electrical Engineer's heart beat with glee!
This soundtrack is so 1984....Casio synthesizer at its PEAK...think of other movie soundtracks from.that year.. TERMINATOR..Gremlins..Beverly Hills Cop...Ghostbusters....some of my earliest memories as a 5 and 6 year old!
@@monsterjazzlicks It was a Yamaha TX-816 (8 DX7s in a rack) controlled by a Yamaha QX-1 sequencer. A few sounds came from a Yamaha GS-1. The drums were an Oberheim DMX (with Simmons sample PROMS). TX-816s are relatively cheap compared to what a DX5 or DX1 fetch nowadays.
This was the Late Jerry Goldsmith's score which was fully electronic for Runaway using Yamaha DX7 Synthesizers instead of his traditional orchestra. His son, Joel was the Synthesizer Programming.
yes this was said but to me....there's a lot of synclavier out there, maybe I could be wrong, tx816 can sound analoguish, but here there's something it is difficult to think it's coming quite only from dx7. apart drums I listen also acoustic piano, they seems synclavier sampled stuff.
The end titles theme i think is the best part of this soiundtrack! I'm pretty sure jerry Goldsmith used a casion PT1 for some of this, i used to have one & it;s a little tiny keyboard! It's a pity Jerry is now in Hillside Memorial Park though :o(!!
Remeber the smart Bullet, that could track a human infrared heat signature and turn corners? The car chasing Drones. Yes, the floater Drone. The Spider Drones. It's 2024, and Ukraine is using FPV Drones to defeat the Russian Tanks and troupe carrier vehicles invading their country. It's even targeting humans now. It just a matter of time when self guiding bullets appear. Michael Crichton M.D./ futurist/screen producer/director/ writer, was a genius.
they said it was actually the yamaha tx816 which are eight dx7 each independent with polyphony and audio out but.....I am skeptic.....to me seems something kinda synclavier stuff maybe with some tx816 helping, it sounds so analogue in some points. Synclavier was digital but with great analogue soul, even tx816.

No coincidence that my favorite musicians are Jerry Goldsmith, Vangelis, Depeche Mode and Erasure. People who know how to use a synthesizer in ways no one else can possibly imagine
One of my favorite movies ever, Tom Selleck was cool, but Gene Simmons was pure bad-ass as the bad guy. Been looking for that soundtrack in forever, just plain loved it!!!
I have a copy on German blu ray, underrated classic and I think Gene Simmons (who I much later found out was a former member of rock group Kiss) relished his role as the brilliant but insane villian.
Great synth work. The early-mid 80s were always the best for this type of sound. Is there any chance you could upload the full closing credits music? It cuts off here shortly before the end.
One of my favorite scores by Jerry Goldsmith. So sorry I missed getting the soundtrack album, and where can I find the complete end credits theme? Been looking for it with no success so far. :(
