1st place (In my book); Vangelis' Blade Runner. 2nd place; Wendy Carlos' Tron...

Daft Punk did an okay job with Tron: Legacy, but the release with all the remixes has me somewhat reserved on actually buying it.

Vangelis' Blade Runner is an incredible suite of electronic music, IMHO. I have the re-mastered red vinyl, and I'm still amazed how they got (over?) an hour of music on a single disc and still got the bottom end to go deep with significant volume. MIA on this soundtrack however, is the music from the nightclub scene, IIRC.

Wendy Carlos' score and playing for the original Tron movie are beautiful and somewhat other-worldly at times. She blends live orchestra, choir and a whole range of synthesizer into a very cohesive statement (it doesn't hurt that Michael Fremer was the music supervisor on that movie, and provided a lot of insight in the liner notes).

I'm sure there are more soundtracks, both in and without my collection, that are equally superb! These are (again, IMHO) that are MUST have's...

Cheers,
