Vince DiCola - Autobot/Decepticon Battle (Transformers The Movie Soundtrack) (1986)



What can only be described as a heroic amount of FM Bass...

I can't how good the music was for this movie. 1986 has probably never sounded this punchy and energetic. Vince DiCola was some sort of wizard from the future or something, to reach this far ahead in terms of production, with what he had at his disposal. Listen to these drums. Listen to this FM Bass Guitar power chord combo?

Then listen to the arrangement. 1986... What else in 1986 sounded like this? Where the hell did it come from? So many hooks, one after the other, never lingering to become stale. It's like an entire album in one track, and it is so damn intense.

I revisit this soundtrack every year or so, and I continue to find more reasons to be amazed. If you have never heard it before, or haven't checked it in a while, now is the perfect time.
