Thief (soundtrack)

"Beach Theme" and "Beach Scene" are two different mixes of the same piece. The album version of "Dr. Destructo" is quite different from the film version.^[1] An extended version version of "Dr. Destructo" is available only on a promo single. "Igneous" is a remix of "Thru Metamorphic Rocks" from the 1979 album Force Majeure. Neither "Beach Theme" nor "Trap Feeling" appear in the film.

After Tangerine Dream completed the soundtrack, Mann needed another sequence. As Tangerine Dream was on tour, Craig Safan composed and performed "Confrontation".

[edit] Versions

The original 1981 Elektra/Asylum LP (version A) released in the U.S. featured "Confrontation"; subsequent releases by Virgin Records featured "Beach Scene" instead (version B).

In 2004, Wounded Bird Records re-released version A with "Confrontation"; there were however two mispressings—one with the version B tracklist, and one with "Igneous" removed instead of "Beach Scene". All had the listing for version A on the CD and cover.
