"Now, that was an experience. 'You are only coming through in waves.' That line blows my mind every time. I don't care what mood you're in the start of that song. When it's finished, that mood had been altered."
— Satan from a Deleted Scene of Little Nicky
"System Shock makes desperate, isolating space horror danceable."
Matt: Even the club DJs of the world couldn't deny the pull of this theme song.
Chris: You mentioned before we started writing that this song should've played in the background of the entire movie, and you’re 100% right on that. In fact, I'd be willing to say that this song should probably be playing in the background of every movie. Can you imagine how much more intense the opening of Inglourious Basterds would've been?
Matt: Christoph Waltz subtly bobbing his head to the track as he does his intimidation routine.

"Y'know the phrase got thrown a lot around over the years in gaming, that "games will never get better than what we currently have?" I think I've discovered where that all started from! If this game is even half as good as the theme song I think we've done OK as a civilization."

"One of the most beautiful soundtracks of all time... that helped to narrate and illustrate the futuristic story of Blade Runner. Vangelis knew how to create, like no one else, a sound script full of mystery and suspense that seems to have given life to the cold, dark and technological world represented on the screen."

A synthetic pulse from the past!
Where the only bleeps and bloops you'd hear on TV
Were the chiptunes that we blast!
Music doesn't have to bind to your rules
Not an art to be pigeonholed
Whether organic and alive
Or synthetic with a drive
As long as it… long as it… long as it… moves your soul!

"The first main battle theme from the game, 'Trisection,' exhibits all of the balance I mentioned earlier. It's serious but not self-regardingly so. It's big and orchestral but not shrill and over-dramatic. It doesn't rely on a theme that might as well be in a pop song, but it's still very driven by melody and harmony.
The way the theme from the first few bars repeats four times over – first singular, then harmonized, then repeated again in the background, fugue-style, then harmonized again with the horn – suggests the bourgeoning conflict that's soon to envelop the continent, without being overly portentous or mock-sad. You can tell shit's getting started, but it’s not telling you how you’re supposed to feel about that – not just yet."
