I love Netflix’s Stranger Things, as loving a modern-day recreation of 80s movies and TV shows as you could ever hope to imagine. Even the title sequence is brilliantly 80s.

I love Tangerine Dream – after all they did write the themes for a whole bunch of great 80s movies, such as Legend and Risky Business, as well as one of the best ever TV themes, Street Hawk*.

So what could be better than Tangerine Dream – whose song ‘Exit’ actually features in Stranger Things – coming up with variations of Stranger Things‘ soundtrack, originally composed by a band called Survive (or S U R V I V E, if you prefer), who are big fans of Tangerine Dream? Nothing, that’s what.

* It’s available as ‘Le Parc‘

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
