This is the main theme from Art Bell's Coast To Coast show. That's where I first heard this theme in 1992. Pure electronic music awesomeness from the 70's!!!
You are so right man! I saw the film on TV in the 90s and the music spoke to my deepest innards - if that's not too gross a thing to say! - and I asked for the soundtrack for Christmas!
For whomever doesn't understand the context of this song and just knows it from Coast To Coast AM, the song is from a monumental (and pretty damned violent) movie about a man who is a drug courier (set up or willfully, I've never watched the entire film, it's pretty disturbing in places) and thrown into a Turkish prison to essentially rot. It's a sadistic place, and his own government (US) declines to intervene or hear him out. Finally, he manages a brutal escape (he has to do some sick things to a guard to do it) and runs for the border. This is not a cakewalk. Chase is a theme for his run. He did make it (SPOILER) and this is a true story, a very cautionary tale for people as the 1980s were around the corner that you simply did not fuck around with drugs in the Middle East. Now you can go back to your Art Bell/George Noory memories and pro wrestling.
This is not just a story about a prison escape. Its an allegory about escaping some very unpleasant/threatening predicament in this life ...and freedom 🔔
From a magical time when electronic musicians had to actually PLAY synthesizers and keyboards instead of just having a laptop and software do everything for them. Awesome as the day the movie came out. Thanks for the upload !
Giorgio Moroder - Chase:This is the main theme from Art Bell's Coast To Coast show. That's where I first heard this theme in 1992. Pure electronic music awesomeness from the 70's!!!
Giorgio Moroder fue el precursor de la música electrónica y su tema de la película EXPRESO DE MEDIANOCHE sin duda el mejor lejos. Tengo 54 y me gusta escuchar buena música.
Sin menospreciar a Giorgio Moroder, hay muchos que se están por delante de Giorgio Moroder como pioneros de la música electrónica: Delia Derbyshire, Wendy Carlos, Isao Tomita. Ni mencionar grupos como Kraftwerk y Tangerine Dream Este álbum de Tom Dissevelt y Dick Raaijmakers es de 1957, czcams.com/video/V8MP0W63jIY/video.html veinte (20) años antes que Moroder compusiera el tema de Midnight Express.
Anthony Malquezadec It is "From the High Desert and the Great American Southwest, I bid you all a good evening, or good morning,as the case may be, across all these many prolific time zones. From the Hawaiian and Tahitian islands in the West, eastward to the Caribbean and the us virgin islands . South into South America, North to the pole and worldwide on the internet, good morning, I'm art bell. This is Coast to Coast AM".
@@rocketcab yes he was, funny enough I just requested his old ham radio call sign(now that he has gone silent key) as I am a huge fan of his and a fellow amateur radio operator. Me and him always shared a love of 10 meter ham radio. RIP Arthur William Bell, we'll catch you down the wire.....Cant believe it's been a year already, I sure do miss my old friend of the late nights. I hope he and Father Malachi Martin are having a good talk somewhere.
German band Kraftwerk influenced many people to experiment with electronic music, influencing many other European people. Many British bands such as OMD and Gary Numan were influenced by the German style to create popular music
Fun Trivia: Hans Zimmer's top 3 favorite film soundtracks are: -Once Upon a Time in America (Ennio Morricone) -Blade Runner (Vangelis) -*MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (GIORGIO MORODER)*
This guy who did his song worked with Donna summer I feel love. This guy is awesome with music and this song is my childhood I grew up on this song. I'm not from the 70s I'm a 2000s baby lol I'm an old soul who is a Dj and loves disco obsessively ❤
Giorgio Moroder, El "Pilar" Del High Energy, En 1978 Crea "Chase", Al Igual Que La Canción De Donna Summer "I Feel Love"(También De Giorgio) Contiene La Misma Linea De Bajo Galopante Creada Por Moroder, Lo Cual Hasta La Fecha Se Sigue Usando En La Música Con Sintetizadores, Esta Canción Fue Parte De La Banda Sonora De La Película Expreso De Media Noche, Lo Que Se Hizo Merecedor Del Oscar, Sin Duda Giorgio Moroder Es La Pieza Fundamenta Del High Energy Y De Toda Música Creada Con Sintetizadores.
Great music and very catchy. Loved it then and now. The movie was superb. It was so raw and realistic. Not like to today with 200 Cgi Explosions and CGI action sequences but no soul heart or story. That's why this is a classic loved decades later and maybe forever. Todays music and films will be forgotten soon after being released.
reticulan5 You obviously haven't seen much then. Not everything since this movie and today is about CGI. And just to be clear this was a good movie but nothing extraordinary. Most of the movie was grossly exaggerated and some parts were flat out false. Like the scene where he yelled at the judges and how he got out of the jail. This movies was mostly a fairy tale by a coked out Oliver Stone. The best thing about this movie was the soundtrack, which in my opinion was a masterpiece. There is always one person who gets all nostalgic and makes some sort of ridiculous statement and it looks like I found him.
1 morceaux de moi est resté dans cette époque. 78 j avait 13 ans. Il nous fallait pas grand chose pour nous occuper une griffe sur le coin d un classeur 1 rendez-vous et nous voilà tous sur une plage du nord bien de chez nous avec ce bijoux de musique. Merci ❤

👍👍👌👌😊😊😎😎💕💕💖💖❤❤😍😍🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌 For the first time heard this track in the year 1980. Fell in love with this track Got this sound track cassette of this movie from my father in the same year as a gift from him for having having cleared / passed my final examination with flying % grades and getting promoted to the next higher class. Its one among many prizes that i received from my Father and consider all of these prized possession as my treasure.
Do you realize Mr. Moroder is a day younger than Al Pacino, and yet, he has one more Oscar than Mr. Pacino? After hearing this, I can see that Mr. Moroder has a "Little Friend" too.
This is as close as you can get to a LEGIT shoot of dopamine straight from your Suprarenal Glands to your brain and heart - no drug, no alcohol, no sugar just pure positive and vibrant vibes 🧠🕺🏻🎉

It’s been used in recent trace beats
I was 15 years old then and fell in love with this track and just never got tired of listening ❤🎉💋
The song was 20-30 years ahead of its time. Love it still!

Art Bell used it, and so did Wrestling's Midnight Express.
One of the most badass songs I ever know.
True, but so is the movie ! ;-)

I just wish I was with you while you played it, it's the fucking best hey!!!!!!!!!!
This MUSIC is as Thought provoking as the movie was. A timeless CLASSIC.
Memories of my ten year old self, thinking this song was written by robots. Absolutely groundbreaking
I relate , every time I've heard it when I was young , I just closed my eyes and traveled through space and time...

He composed in the 70s music of XXI century! His time ahead!

One great theme song and even better flick.
Brad Davis, John Hurt and Randy Quaid killed it. Do you know if it won Acadamy awards?

damannoa What a bummer you're so intolerant about others' opinions on a memorable movie that involved taking some liberties.
One of my all time favourite instrumentals. Timeless. I remember going out to purchase it in vinyl... eventually purchased it in CD format, also.
Long live this song
One of my very favorite pieces of music from one of my very favorite films.'Midnight Express' 1978.
