It is based on Billy Hayes' 1977 non-fiction book Midnight Express and was adapted into the screenplay by Oliver Stone.Hayes was a young American student sent to a Turkish prison for trying to smuggle hashish out of Turkey. The film deviates from the book's accounts of the story�� especially in its portrayal of Turks�� and some have criticized this version, including Billy Hayes himself.

Later, both Stone and Hayes expressed their regret about how Turkish people were portrayed in the film. [2] [3] The film's title is prison slang for an inmate's escape attempt.

While attempting to board a plane back to the United States with his girlfriend, Billy is arrested by Turkish police on high alert due to fear of terrorist attacks. He is strip-searched, photographed and questioned. After a while, a shadowy American (who is never named, but is nicknamed "Tex" by Billy due to his thick Texan accent) arrives, takes Billy to a police station and translates for Billy for one of the detectives.

On questioning Billy tells them that he bought the hashish from a taxicab driver, and offers to help the police track him down in exchange for his release. Billy goes with the police to midnight express music composer nearby market and points out the cab driver, but when they go to arrest the cabbie, it becomes apparent that the police have no intention of keeping their end of the deal with Billy.

He sees an opportunity and makes a run for it, only to get cornered and recaptured by the mysterious American.During his first night in holding at a local jail, a freezing-cold Billy sneaks out of his cell and steals a blanket.

Later that night he is rousted from his cell and brutally beaten by chief guard Hamidou for the blanket theft.He wakes a few days later in Sagmalc?lar Prison, surrounded by fellow Western prisoners Jimmy (an American � in for stealing two candlesticks from a mosque), Max (an English heroin addict) and Erich (a Swede) who help him to his feet.

Jimmy tells Billy that the prison is a dangerous place for foreigners like themselves, and that no one can be trusted � not even the young children.Billy meets with his father, a U.S representative and a Turkish lawyer to discuss what will happen to him. Billy is sent to trial for his case where the angry prosecutor makes a case against him for drug smuggling. The lead judge is sympathetic to Billy and gives him only a four-year sentence for drug possession. Billy and his father are horrified at the outcome but their Turkish lawyer insists that the term is a very good result.Jimmy tries to encourage Billy to become part of an escape attempt through the prison's tunnels.

Believing he is to be released soon Billy rebuffs Jimmy who goes on to attempt an escape himself being brutally beaten for this. In 1974, Billy's sentence is overturned by the Turkish High Court in Ankara after a prosecution appeal (the prosecutor originally wished to have him found guilty of smuggling and not the lesser charge of possession), and he is ordered to serve a 30-year-to-life term for his crime. Billy goes along with a prison-break Jimmy has masterminded. Billy, Jimmy, and Max try to escape through the catacombs below the prison, but their plans are revealed to the prison authorities by fellow-prisoner Rifki.

His stay becomes harsh and brutal: terrifying scenes of physical and mental torture follow one another, culminating in Billy having a breakdown. He beats up and nearly kills Rifki. Following this breakdown, he is sent to the prison's ward for the insane where he wanders in a daze among the other disturbed and catatonic prisoners. He meets fellow prisoner Ahmet whilst participating in the regular inmate activity of walking in a circle around a pillar.

Ahmet claims to be a philosopher from Oxford University and engages him in conversation to which Billy is unresponsive.In 1975, Billy's girlfriend Susan comes to see him. Devastated at what has happened to Billy, she tells him that he has to escape or else � Donna Summer� Harold Faltermeyer� Freddie Mercury� Daft Punk� Philip Oakey� Deborah Harry� Sia� Britney SpearsWebsitegiorgiomoroder .comGiovanni Giorgio Moroder ( Italian: [d?o?vanni ?d?ord?o mo?r??der]; born 26 April 1940) [1] [2] is an Italian singer, songwriter, DJ and record producer.

Moroder is frequently credited with pioneering Italo disco and electronic dance music. [3]When in Munich in the 1970s, he started his own record label called Oasis Records, which several years later became a subdivision of Casablanca Records. He produced singles for Donna Summer during the late-1970s disco era, including " Bad Girls", " Last Dance", " Love to Love You Baby", " No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", " Dim All the Lights", " MacArthur Park", " Hot Stuff", " On the Radio", and " I Feel Love", and is the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, a recording studio used by many artists including Electric Light Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Queen and Elton John.

Moroder also composed the soundtrack for the film Midnight Express, which won an Academy Award and contained the international hit " Chase".Moroder also produced a number of electronic disco songs for the Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, and a handful of songs on Bonnie Tyler's album Bitterblue as well as her 1985 single " Here She Comes".

In 1990 he composed " Un'estate italiana", the official theme song of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. He also created a score of songs for performers including David Bowie, Kylie Minogue, Irene Cara, Janet Jackson, Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Blondie, Japan and France Joli. Moroder has stated that the work of which he is most proud is Berlin's " Take My Breath Away". [4] This song and " Flashdance.

What a Feeling" earned him the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1986 and 1983.

Moroder's mother called him "Hans-Jorg" ( German: [?hansj??k m???o?d?]), the German version of his first and second names, as while he was growing up they lived in a mixed German, Italian and Ladin-speaking environment in South Tyrol in northern Italy, near the Austrian border. [5] At the time in South Tyrol, a process of Italianization was taking place and it would have been unwise or impossible to register a German first name. Career [ edit ] 1965�91: Contribution to electronic music [ edit ]Moroder made his first steps in music in the Scotch-Club in Aachen and then released midnight express music composer few singles under the name "Giorgio" beginning in 1966 after moving to Berlin, singing in Italian, Spanish, English, and German.

He came to prominence in 1969, when his recording " Looky Looky", released on Ariola Records, was awarded a gold disc in October 1970. [6] He then made a name for himself in studios around Germany in the early 1970s.

Often collaborating with lyricist Pete Bellotte, Moroder had a number of hits in his own name including " Son of My Father" in 1972, a No. 1 hit in the UK for Chicory Tip, before releasing the synthesizer-driven From Here to Eternity, a notable chartbuster in 1977.

That same year he co-wrote and produced the seminal Donna Summer hit single I Feel Love. The following year he released " Chase", the theme from the film Midnight Express. "Chase" is often used on the American syndicated late-night radio show "Coast to Coast" and was also used as an entrance theme for wrestling's group The Midnight Express. These songs achieved some chart success in the United Kingdom, the United States and across Europe, and everywhere disco-mania was spreading.

The full film score for Midnight Express won him his first Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1979, which featured one of his best-known pieces, " Chase".In 1979 Moroder released his album E=MC?. Text on the album's cover stated that it was the "first electronic live-to-digital album." He also released three albums between 1977�1979 under the name Munich Machine.

In 1980, he composed and produced two film soundtrack albums: the first for Foxes and the second for American Gigolo. A double album of the Foxes soundtrack was released on the disco label Casablanca Records which includes Donna Summer's hit single " On the Radio", which Moroder both produced and co-wrote.

The Foxes soundtrack also contains a song titled Bad Love, written and performed by the singer-actress Cher and produced by Moroder. The American Gigolo soundtrack featured the Moroder-produced " Call Me" by Blondie, a US and UK number one hit.

The combined club play of the album's tracks was number two for five weeks on the disco/dance charts. [7] In 1982 he wrote the soundtrack of the movie Cat People, including the hit single " Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" featurThough there are a few queasy pop/vocal tracks, Moroder's soundtrack to Midnight Express earns points for an array of exploratory synthesizer pieces (including "Wheel" and "Cacaphoney") as well as its opener, "Chase." One of Moroder's biggest hits, the track bounces back and forth between melodic disco and hypnotic sequencer trance just one step removed from the likes of Tangerine Dream. MOVIE MUSIC UK CLASSICSOriginal Review by Craig LysyIn 1976 director Alan Parker was visiting New York on a business trip.

He by chance ran into his old friend, producer Peter Guber, who asked him to review a manuscript, which was based on a true story.

On his plane fight back to London he read it and became convinced that this was a story which needed to be told on film. He joined Guber and his new production company, Casablanca Filmworks, and hired Oliver Stone for what would be his first commercial screenplay.

Stone delivered the goods, penning a hard-hitting, raw, uncompromising narrative full of rage, and abounding in cinematic energy. For his cast, Parker brought in Brad Davis to play Billy Hayes after negotiations with Richard Gere broke down. Joining him would be John Hurt as Max, Paolo Bonacelli as Rifki, Irene Miracle as Susan, Randy Quaid as Jimmy Booth, and Paul Smith as Hamidou. They would shoot the film in Malta, as the Turkish government was decidedly hostile to the project.

The true-life story reveals American college student Billy Hays on holiday in Istanbul with girlfriend Susan. Quite stupidly, he straps 2 kg of hashish to his torso, which he intends to smuggle back to the United States.

However, Turkey is on a terrorist alert after a recent hijacking, and he is caught when they frisk him as he prepares to board the plane. He is arrested and humiliated with a strip search. A mysterious American named Tex enters the scene and encourages Billy to cooperate with the investigation for a lesser sentence. Billy agrees and fingers the man who sold him the hashish, only to be betrayed by Tex and the Turkish police.

His futile attempt to escape earns him a three-year sentence for drug possession. Later, after the prosecutor appeals the verdict, he is re-sentenced to a more severe life sentence for smuggling.The oppressive and harsh tale unfolds from Billy�s perspective, and we bear witness to hell on earth, and his very graphic, brutal, and sadistic torture, both physically and psychologically. We see him slowly, over time, deteriorate through depression, alienation and ultimately madness, which lands him in the sanitarium with other insane inmates.

Yet fortune intervenes and, after murdering sadist guard Hamidou, he dons his uniform and simple walks out of the prison, eventually reaching the Greek border. The film was both a huge commercial and critical success, earning six Academy Award Nominations including Best Screenplay, Best Score, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Film Editing, and Best Director, winning two � Best Screenplay and Best Score.Parker had originally planned to recruit Vangelis to score the film as he had successfully collaborated with him before in a number of commercials.

However, there were budgetary constraints, and Neil Bogart, the studio executive at Midnight express music composer Filmworks, asked him to instead utilize Giorgio Moroder.

Moroder had gained significant public acclaim writing and producing Donna Summer hits, and though Moroder had never before scored a film, Parker went with the flow and traveled to his studio in Munich.

To his surprise the two men clicked the moment they met. They spotted the music as they jointly reviewed the final cut footage of the film. Worth noting is that Midnight Express was the first movie to win an Oscar for Best Original Score featuring a totally synthesized music score.�Istanbul Opening� opens the film as the main title credits roll and establishes the film�s synthetic soundscape as we view Istanbul at dusk from the Bosphorus.

Moroder provides a formless synth milieu adorned with exotic auras and sparkling electronica, which slowly coalesces into a mesmerizing melodic line carried by electronic piano. Slowly the camera takes us to Billy�s hotel room where we see him wrapping blocks of hashish, which he then straps to his torso. The melody slowly dissolves, once more becoming formless, darkening with discordant accents, which are portentous.

�Chase� offers a musical highlight with a classic syncopated synth line that emotes with Moroder�s trademark disco sensibility. Billy fingers the seller to the police and then foolishly runs away, hoping to escape.

After a lengthy build, the A Phrase of the melody at last joins at 1:09. It is clear that this piece would fit right in, in any dance club. At 3:40 its refulgent B Phrase burst forth for its turn in the light. For the rest of the cue the phrases shift to and fro for a pleasant if not mesmerizing listen.

From my perspective the employment of disco dance music to propel the chase through the ancient streets of Istanbul seems completely incongruous, and frankly, odd. I do not see how the music supports the narrative or Billy�s desperation. After viewing the scene I am left incredulous.�Love�s Theme� offers a tender synth piano line, which plays atop a flowing stream of shifting chords.

The transfer of the melodic line to synthetic harpsichord offers a pleasant experience.

Hide�Description Average Rating:(0)(0)American will to survive - no submission to Law ofThis is a quite profound soundtrack from a film based on a true story occurred in 1970 in 'Turkey country' - it's profound for it tells the world that uncivilized Law with unspeakable errors will be lost one day if there is still a will to survive in man, and Justice will take over any 'random and errors' in any places of the world with any uncivilized Law by inhuman error and baseness below the truly World-Justice and human reasoning.

The best thing brought from that lesson of the "true story" is the lovable advancement in American musical world - this music is surely for the future of human recognition of man's truth and lesson from unforgivable silly inhuman errors done to man's life - for remembrance of something unwanted and which had to be occurred for our tasting its harms and our joy in "intentionally making errors" for our Entertainment at our homes - Home sweet Home!

- That's all about this Soundtrack of the Truth, our Human truth - is including unknown error in it, maybe it's unavoidable, but at least not for-ever-more and for ever more. -By�Biu / Bill not Billy or Bill of Law (Hong Kong SAR Of China)(0)(0)Great Sound TrackI saw the movie back in 79.

The energy of 'chase' performed on early synthesizers is a stirring introduction to this epic film.

Composer Moroder captures the essence of the story and his music is interesting by itself as it is early synthesized sounds, quite experimental at the time this was recorded. There is a blues number 'Istanbul Blues' sung by David Castle in Traditional blues style and there is the piano solo 'Loves theme' accompanied by early synth strings.

Overall great music.Comment8 people found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you?Yes NoSending feedback. I owned this for years on audio cassette, one of Moroders best soundtracks. I remember renting the film from my local video shop in the mid 80's on RCA Columbia (New World Video, I still miss the shop) it made a powerful impression on me, especially the music. I think its ripe for a brand new release by someone like film score monthy/intrada (are you listening?)Comment3 people found this helpful.

Was this review helpful to you?Yes NoSending feedback. I heard Chase on a BBC Radio 4 documentary by Mark Kermode. I liked it greatly. I've got a few songs from Giorgio Moroder and like what he started to introduce with the synthesizer. So I immediately purchased this album.

I guess at the time it was a bit different for a soundtrack album, but all the electronic stuff is a bit more widespread nowadays.

For me Chase is the stand out track and the others don't quite match up to it.CommentWas this review helpful to you?Yes NoSending feedback. This is a great film soundtrack, although I chose to programme out some tracks.Let's consider the one's which I keep, Chase is a wonderful mix of fear and excitment and nearly as good is Love's Theme,(Theme From) Midnight Express and the closer again (Theme From) Midnight Express, this time with a vocal from Chris Bennett.It you like film music, this is one to keep.CommentWas this review helpful to you?Yes NoSending feedback. This has a great title song which is why i bought it and it goes on for about 10 mins.

The rest.not so much, but still worth buying for that great first song.CommentWas this review helpful to you?Yes NoSending feedback.

In 1978 castle was nominated for a Grammy for "Album Of Best Original Score Written For A Motion Picture Or TV Special" for his participation in the "Midnight Express" soundtrack.In the movie, Randy Quaid and John Hurt sing "Istanbul Blues," but on the Soundtrack Album of "Midnight Express," david castle performs the song.

david arranged and produced the recording. Giorgio Moroder co-produced the session.david castle's recording features Jerry Sommers on drums, Rick Tierney on Bass, and Patrick McClure on Guitar.

david plays Piano, Electric Piano and Clavinet on the record."Midnight Express" vividly told the riveting story of Billy Hayes, an American who was given a life sentence in a Turkish prison for smuggling a small amount of drugs. It is the story of how he survived and escaped from Turkey.

Hayes later wrote the book and film of the same title in order to reimburse his father for the legal expenses incurred from his experience.david castle co-wrote the song "Istanbul Blues" with Billy Hayes, though they never met personally until the evening of the Grammys (February 15, 1979) as they were seated next to one another at the taping of the actual awards show.

Billy Hayes co-wrote the screenplay for Midnight Express along with Oliver Stone and the lyric for "Istanbul Blues" was in the screenplay. david castle felt that since Billy actually experienced the prison life first-hand that his lyric was the ultimate, so he wrote the music to Billy's lyric.david was asked by the late Neil Bogart, then President and Owner of Casablanca Record and Filmworks, to write several songs for the motion picture.

"Istanbul Blues" was the one Bogart chose to feature in the film. Once that decision was made, Neil asked david to record the song for the soundtrack album."Midnight Express" won two Academy Awards, one for Best Screenplay Adaptation and one for Original Score.
