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!
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 !

@@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
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, ua-cam.com/video/V8MP0W63jIY/v-deo.html veinte (20) años antes que Moroder compusiera el tema de Midnight Express.
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 chase midnight express electronic music and tune i like very much so many time i like it i am very happy and fully satisfied thanks for your tunes and music
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 ❤
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)*
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.
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 🔔
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.
I loved this song before it was on coast to coast but when I heard it listening to coast to coast for the first time, I loved it even more! thanks for the upload!
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.
Yes, we're well aware of the movie. We don't need some kid trying to educate us. It's a nice little flick. But this song is most well-known as the opening theme for Art Bell's shows, and rightfully so.
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 ❤

No offence, but what do you mean the precursor????? Giorgio IS electronic music!!!!!!!!! Give life back to music, give thanks to Il Giorgio!!!!!!
Moroder is a legend. Hail to the undisputed King of Techno!
He composed in the 70s music of XXI century! His time ahead!
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...
God bless my uncle whom , at my childhood , introduced me to this masterpiece

BEST SOUNDTRACK AND MOVIE EVER. I LOVE THIS SONG,
This song made me love the movie even more, and the movie made me love the song even more! Catch The Midnight Express.
RIP Art Bell. You will be sorely missed.
Love this eerie, other-worldly classic disco hit.
This was/and still IS the jam of the ages!! Like a freight train rollin' at 100 mph.!!

That’s so cool to see who inspired the legend
One of my all time favourite instrumentals. Timeless. I remember going out to purchase it in vinyl... eventually purchased it in CD format, also.
This is from the movie Midnight Express prior than the Art Bell's Coast To Coast show...
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.
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.
"Loneliness is a physical pain that hurts all over you can't just isolate it in one part of your body."

Esto sí se llama música y no la basura que hay ahora en todos lados. Giorgio Moroder da catedra.

MIL GRACIAS X ESTE DISCO
Long live this song
when I think of this song I think of Art Bell and the old NBA on CBS halftime highlights that they used to show in the late 70's!!!
+Leslie Robinson I remember the NBA highlights, thought that was so cool.
+Leslie Robinson highlights narrated by Brent Musberger with this music in the background. made the highlights that much more enjoyable...
the Midnight Express should be in the WWE HALL OF FAME ALONG WITH JIM CORNETTE!
One of my very favorite pieces of music from one of my very favorite films.'Midnight Express' 1978.

Art Bell used it, and so did Wrestling's Midnight Express.
Yes, we're well aware of the movie. We don't need some kid trying to educate us. It's a nice little flick. But this song is most well-known as the opening theme for Art Bell's shows, and rightfully so.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the best tag team in the world today, Loverboy Dennis and Beautiful Bobby… the Midnight Express”
Real Masterpiece of Moroder.
