Carpenter is a real class act when it comes to scoring. I don't think some directors fully appreciate how much of a difference it can make. For me, the best evidence of this is Legend (the Tom Cruise film). The Tangerine Dream soundtrack makes it a completely different film for me to the orchestrated version. Vangelis' work for Blade Runner is another classic example. I heard the soundtrack for Tron Legacy long before I saw it but it was amazing how well it worked when I finally did.
I really can't fault a lot of the selection here, there is some class work listed. It goes without saying that you have the classic 80's TV selection. Surely we have to add in Space: 1999, Blakes 7, UFO and Dr Who? Not to forget B5 either? I would also throw Gattaca into the mix along with Interstellar and Road to Perdition. The first and last are, to my mind, particularly evocative.
