Great music composed for the 1984 movie "Firestarter" starring a very young Drew Barrymore, who develops pyrokinesis and the secret government agency known as The Shop which seeks to control her!
The music is performed by the legendary German band Tangerine Dream!
AllMusic rated the soundtrack four out of five stars!
Trivia:
Prophetically, a few years before she was cast in the film, six-year-old Drew Barrymore's mother thought that Drew resembled the girl on the source novel's paperback dust-jacket. Drew once said: "My mom had seen this book at the grocery store with a picture of a little girl on it and she said, 'Gee, this looks kinda like you'.
She said it was okay if I bought it, and so I did. When I read it, I came into the kitchen where my mom was making dinner and said: 'I'm the Firestarter. I'm Charlie McGee!' But she didn't know what I was talking about."
