Why this is on Radar
Soundtrack relationship: Kenji Kawai's score for the 1995 film, whose themes of machine consciousness it carries directly.
Kawai's score mixes Bulgarian-style choral writing with slow percussion and early ambient synthesis. Its opening sequence is one of the most quoted marriages of music and machine imagery in cinema.
