Paul Haslinger - Halt And Catch Fire Original Television Series Soundtrack
Review by Kate Smith
The Halt And Catch Fire Original Television Series Soundtrack by Paul Haslinger is a must-have for fans of the show and lovers of synth-heavy, retro-inspired music. The album perfectly captures the mood and atmosphere of the AMC drama, which follows a group of tech pioneers in the 1980s and '90s as they navigate the nascent world of personal computing and the internet.
Haslinger, a veteran composer and former member of the pioneering electronic group Tangerine Dream, brings his signature sound to the series, creating a sonic tapestry of pulsing rhythms, soaring melodies, and atmospheric textures. From the driving, propulsive opener "Main Title Theme" to the dreamy, introspective "Goodwill" and the haunting, ethereal "Reverse Engineering," the album is a masterclass in electronic music composition.
What sets the soundtrack apart, however, is its ability to stand on its own as a cohesive, immersive listening experience. Even for those who haven't seen the show, the album is a captivating journey through the sounds and emotions of a bygone era, evoking the spirit of classic synthpop and new wave while also pushing the boundaries of contemporary electronic music.
