<<Not really electronic per se, but I've always liked Alain Goraguer's music from "Fantastic Planet"; early '70's Floydish/Euro stuff, Rhodes and wahwah. Very dated, but fun.>> Oh YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! One of my all time favorite movies. I used to see it on Night Flight back in the mid 80's, on the USA Network. I was lucky enough to see it at a theatre here in Cleveland about 3 or 4 years ago. They showed the subtitled version, which was a nice change of pace from the awful VHS copy I have of the dubbed version, which was apparently what was released here in the US. My old VHS copy was probably a bootleg, which my mom and I found in a Woolworth's back around 88 or 89, maybe a little later. I say it's probably a bootleg because it was done at EP/SLP speed, instead of SP (as VHS tapes usually are done), and they used an AWFUL print, there are some really bad edits, like the film had been damaged, and rather than try to find a better print they just went with what they had. I dunno if that's how the movie was first released in the US (I believe Roger Corman's film company is identified as the US distributors at the start of the opening credits). Thankfully, around the time I saw the movie in the theatre (which would have been 98 or 99, I think), it was reissued on VHS, with a pair of Rene Laloux's earlier animated films tacked on as bonus material. You could get it either in dubbed or subtitled forms. I chose the subtitled version. And eventually, I also came across the soundtrack CD, which I also have. BTW, Fantastic Planet is worth watching for the sound effects used in various scenes, which I think could fall into the category of "electronic music". ===== May you never thirst!
