Sounds On Screen: Techno Thrillers

15.04.22

As the world progressed to the dawn of a new millennium, and consumer internet access grew, the slick thriller du jour featured hackers, leather, vague mentions of "cyberspace", computer monitors glowing with obtuse code, and dark throbbing nightclubs.

Tapping into the mainframe and uploading two hours of electronica, IDM, and indie rock from the soundtracks of 1980s + '90s techno thriller films, featuring music from The Matrix, Hackers, eXistenZ and more. Selected by Florence Scott-Anderton
