For someone who loves Ellington, the musical score to the first two Bourne movies is some great music. And the sound isnt bad, either.

Not sure if this qualifies but I have Moby 'Play' on vinyl which I enjoy.
Morton Subotnick, The Wild Bull, would be my favorite for original electronic music.

Nice choice.
Great on vinyl.

That's how I have it, on vinyl. Good book and movie, too. A rare trifecta.

it's fun, particularly if you are a 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' fan......and who isin't?it will make you smile.
and this sounds good enough and is musically involving enough to be in your rotation and not just a 'one-time listen and forget'.

The last album, "Touch Yello", survived at my home for 2 weeks, before I sold it - there was literally not a single track there that I could sit through, without itching for the remote to skip it.
Great album for sure, my fav by them. They have a great sound. Two guys with a huge sound. Other albums fav tracks are Tub Dub, Bananas to the Beat, I Love You and I really like The Eye.

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...

I have several pressings of this LP - domestic and import - then stumbled on a jem test pressing in mint condition. Absolutely fantastic.
I like your taste in ambient music as much as as in lounge furniture. ;)

...is the soundtrack to "Breaking and Entering" by Gabriel Yared and Underworld (Karl Hyde and Rick Smith) comprising a mix of orchestral and electronic music. YouTube link at bottom.The soundtrack for the TV series "Manhattan" is scored by Jonsi of Sigur Ros' and Alex Somers and makes use of electronic effects. I find that although the show is set during WW II, the electronic score is effective. Theme for opening credits below.

Roque Banos score to 'The Machnist' is not all electronic but it does feature some wicked theremin.
It's a Bernard Herrmann pastiche and a bloody brilliant one - it sounds more like Bernard Herrmann than Bernard Herrmann does.
Grab a copy before it goes out of print - it's a classic score.

I have lots of electronic music and lots of film scores, but honestly can't think of a single one that is exclusively both. Bernard Hermann's brilliant score for The Day The Earth Stood Still with its chilling use of the theremin is a classic - but most of the music remains acoustical.
All my favorite composers including John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Jerry Goldsmith, Howard Shore, Alexander Courage, Carter Burwell, et. al. produce classical music based scores.
If you're in the right mood, this "album" is certainly interesting.
Jarre writes in a rather soothing manner, which makes his music (and in particular, his synth voicing) accessible on a higher level than some lesser synth-composers who go for just plain alien sounding things.

Fine suggestions, but my preference is anything by Patrick O'Hearn.
But that's just my inner bass guitarist of 26+ year talking, so I just might be a little biased (wink, wink!)...

I was really hoping that "Crying Freeman" was going to be awesome, but after finally finagling a copy from France, it's nothing like his regular productions. Same with "White Sands". I know there's a few other soundtracks, but they seem impossible to find. He's one of the very few artists where every song on every studio album is great.
Ordered one of his albums from Amazon just yesterday. Not one of his film scores, but do enjoy his music.
