Wrong again, guys.. soryy to say..but eletronica started with Kraftwerk, in 69:-) so dont think anyone came before then. and they are still touring the world:-) J
@johnnyjohnson - The stupid-ass movie bosses didn't wan't Midnight Express to have a "disco soundtrack.." Obviously, they were on the wrong side of the issue on this one- (they wanted at a 'classical" soundtract of some sort..That would been a major Fuck-Up! Afterword, the Suits were glad they went with Moroder, given the profit margin the movie eventually returned..
Some Historical Amnesia.. This song was released in 1978 and is NOT the origin of Electronic Dance Music. I would say that FROM HERE TO ETERNITY including UTOPIA ME which were released a year earlier than this in 1977 was where it started. Listen to those older Moroder tracks. The first real EDM club song was I FEEL LOVE, which Moroder followed up with the FROM HERE TO ETERNITY megamixes. This song was released after he became world famous for I FEEL LOVE and was selected to do the soundtrack.
@DJmixmastermicro - I think folks were speaking of electronic music in the total sense- meaning, NO human vocals at all..I Feel Love doesn't fit that bill, or From Here to Eternity.. I don't know about early Kraftwerk, will have to check it out..Cheers.
@TwoPointsUp. "Utopia Me Giorgio" released in 1977 has NO vocals. It is part of a long "Mega Mix", at that time a first in music history. It has a clear dance club 4/4 type beat, and not synchopated like Kraftwerk. This evidence proves its clearly a precursor to Trance which most people identify with "instrumental (no vocals) electronic music".
I love this track. I heard it back in 90s and thought it was a new deep house track. Way ahead of its time.
Moroder is a true pioneer!
That being said, it's a bit hard to credit 1 song with starting techno and electronic dance music. Many people contributed from Raymond Scott's pioneering music in the 50s to Wendy Carlos' Switched on Bach, also Kraftwerk, Cerrone, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, among a great many others. It was a long evolution that included work from many artists and engineers.
I remember Derrick May playing this in a club in the late '90's. Absolutely genius the way the synths bounce back and forth and overlap. The prototype for Donna Summer's "I Feel Love".
THIS TRACK IS FROM 1978, WHAT YOU CONCEIVE AS ELECTRONICA WAS AROUND FROM SOME YEARS BEFORE.... TAKE A LOOK ON: Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis... anyway the 1st real synth keyboards was produced in 1974 in 2 prototipe, one was for Keith Emerson, the other for Elton John. HAVE FUN IN YOUR SEARCH, YOU HAVE A WORLD TO DISCOVER :-)
@TrainmasterCurt You are perhaps correct. I've always considered it to be "Space Disco," but that's the problem with "musical hair-splicing," especially in the genres of electronic music--I mean, the "sub-genres" are pathologically specific.
Hell, I even record my own music, which is a hybrid of electronica, surf, and rockabilly--do I call it "cyber-surf-a-billy"? Actually, yeah, I do, but still. . . let's be realistic. (I'm saying that to myself, not you, Trainmaster Curt.)
Actually this video is innacurate. KRAFTWERK was the one that introduced electronica and had a huge influence on music till today. Kraftwerk was making songs like TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS years before this flick came out.
Ok, I gotta comment on all those who consider this as a "demonizing" on the Turkish people and those who buy on to this "lie".
1.) This guy was caught smuggling DRUGS. If there is ANYTHING you NEVER DO, either in US or abroad is GET CAUGHT smuggling drugs. If you do, you face the circumstances...PERIOD.
2.) If anyone watched the movie, they would see that this guy WAS given some "mercy" and a chance to go home, on condition he helps catch the supplier of the hash he was smuggling.
but instead he made a break for it, and too bad for him, didn't succeed.
3.) Even if this was a shithole prison, don't forget it's the 70'S!! Things are probably more "pleasant" for the prisoners there now. HELL THEY MIGHT JUST HAVE THEIR OWN SWIMMING POOL AND A SAUNA FOR ALL I KNOW!! :)
You should get a load of American prisons, THEY are torture.
God damn this movie and its supporters! This movie is filled with lies, whichs intension is to humiliate good Turkish people with some lies. First of all, our police force is never cruel to people like in the movie(especially to foreigners, and especially to americans). secondly there aren't any soldiers visible in our airports, there are normal police officers . seaching is done only at the boarding gates and main entrance. and torture happens in all world prisons. not only in Turkey.
@napalmstrike2007 Umm excuse me Now I know your Turkish and everything but the movie is correct about the soldiers being there. Now remember there is a lot of history behind this because in 1969 and 1970 a lot of planes had been hijacked in the middle east including in Turkey with American civilians on board. And the Nixon administration was really fucking pissed off and their relationship with Turkey was not very good but for a brief period of time they felt compelled to put soldiers in for
Brad Davis was incredible in this movie. Brad absolutely had that James Dean X Factor you don't see too often. I was very sad to learn that he passed away in '91, what a loss to the world. This film was his great legacy.
I've noticed how later versions of this trailer have replaced "Chase" with the theme from the film which, while a good piece of music, lacks the punch of having "Chase" thundering in your ears.
It is a bit of stretch to claim that this track started electronica and electronic dance music. People had been playing with electronic music for a long time. One example that springs to mind, is "oscillations" by Silver Apples - 1968, that.
@rhinonose hmmm and does electro or italodisco mean something ? electronica is a tag describing experimental/basic channel electronic music back from 90's until now.
wow hes a amazing and hunting actor just like james Dean and leonardo dicaprio so so sad hes gone now what a talent he would wipe all the actors today true legend & icon of cinnema to bad he doent get the respect he decerives in hollywood they never mention him at all he is fuckin talent he even talks like james dean well in my eyes he a true star RIP brad davis
i get annoyed with people who try to claim that kraftwerk were first...i personally love moroders music its not dry like kraftwerk and also he did work with donna summer and that was HUGE thanks for your info!
totally didn't start electronica, but it made it popular. look up jean-jacques perrey. and moog.

Yesss, please help me with this track!
I am looking for the "version" of Giorgio Moroder's 'The Chase' that you can hear in this trailer.
As you can hear it has additional broad synthie strings, crispier drums and is faster than the 'original'.
Listen to it @ 0:59 - 1:17 and again with an (implemented or overlaid?) effect @ 1:22 - end,
afaik it is not the 3:30, 3:50, 8:24 or 13:06 version!
Thank you very very much.
