    Giorgio Moroder is known for his work composing disco sounds...This soundtrack sounds like you entered the doors of Studio 54...The vibrating theme is known by most film and music fans...An iconic soundtrack for a flick that scored TWO Academy Awards...A heavy duty story at the time...the music adds that other special dimension to the film and it's stunning visual presentation...
