Thief (1981) Part 13

And finally, the shocking conclusion of "Thief." Plus the credits. Just FYI, when I die and they have my funeral, I want this song playing at the service...

also...but wtf is the name for the piece of music playing there? Great track by Tangerine Dream but dunno it's name.

@solidsnakepac It's called Confrontation, I believe...it was supposed to be a variation on a Pink Floyd song that they couldn't get the copyright release on...so Tangerine Dream just did a similar version of their own (frankly, their's is better anyway IMO).

[burlearth]

@20thcenturyfilmdocs It's a variation of 'Comfortably Numb'.

[20thcenturyfilmdocs]

@burlearth Partly, but in reality, Mann wanted to use a SPECIFIC Pink Floyd song, and it wasn't "Comfortably Numb," it was something else...and I've heard it before and this Tangerine Dream song sounds almost just like it...only better.

[burlearth]

@20thcenturyfilmdocs It follows the 'Comfortably Numb' chord structure almost exactly -the mood is the same- and it wasn't Tangerine Dream who recorded it, it was Craig Safan, a soundtrack composer: craigsafan . com/filmmusic.html

I can't see any established band like TD ever agreeing to copy -not cover- the work of another well established band like Pink Floyd.

[20thcenturyfilmdocs]

@burlearth You're right about Safan...but again, it's not Comfortably Numb, I can't find the article on Wiki or elsewhere, but Mann SPECIFICALLY had another Pink Floyd song in mind...it was NOT Comfortably Numb...
