New Age Movie Soundtracks have provided many classic moments in film history by transforming a great movie into an extraordinary movie simply by utilizing the appropriate score to add emotion and drama to the characters identity.

Tangerine Dream is an icon in New Age music, and that fact cannot be disputed by anyone.  Having over 20 soundtracks to their credit, Tangerine Dream has historically delivered so much to the film industry with their beloved music.

This is evident today as it was in the year 1981, when they provided the soundtrack for the Michael Mann movie Thief staring James Cann, Tuesday Weld, James Belushi and Willie Nelson.

The epic song Beach Theme was used to set the stage for the memorable movie moment after a weary safecracking Cann had successfully stole a cache of diamonds.  The song dramatically builds in anticipation, then cuts to the scene of Cann and Weld walking barefoot along the beach in time with the music.  Tangerine Dream then boldly presents Beach Theme as a glorious anthem to their success, providing all New Age fans a treasured favorite among the many music moments in film history.

Below is a video clip of this classic movie soundtrack performance.
