Another Disco/Funkish take on the Taxi Driver Theme, by Bernard Hermann, Soundtrack of the original movie, 1976.
really like this one, makes me think of nights in new york's big avenues, in the seventies.

if taxi driver ended in a "happly ever after" way, than it would be this at the end. :P

[komputerwelt]

heh, yeah. good point.

Though up to today I'm not sure if Travis survived or if it was just a dream or whatever.

guess scorsese didn't want us to have a "one way conclusion". I think he survived though, only the "bell chime while looking at the mirror" thing puzzles me, but enchanters at the same time.

freakin awesome sounds like the fuckin' Love Boat

[komputerwelt]

heh, someone should make a parody of Travis on the Love Boat. that could be entertaining ;)

WTF is this? No wonder Travis went on a killing spree.

Ok. I'm looking for music like this. I've tried looking up "easy listening", "smooth jazz", and "adult contemporary," but none of it is quite right. Chuck Mangione and Herb Alpert are close, but I'm looking for the real smooth stuff. Does anyone know any artists that put any of that classic 70s elevator music together....You'd be doing me a huge favor. Thanks.

This was Side 1 of the original Arista soundtrack. They "discofied" the Herrmann cues in an attempt to sell the album. Side 2 is the original dark suspense cues and the original sax theme. The 1999 reissue on CD restores ALL of the dark film cues, and includes the discofied versions produced by Neely Plumb, which are very much of the 1976 sound.
