Format = Promo"Thief" (1981) is a soundtrack album by the German band
Tangerine Dream for the film Thief, directed by Michael Mann."Beach Theme" and "Beach Scene" are two different mixes of the same piece. The album version of "Dr. Destructo" is quite different from the film version. [cite web |url=http://www.zebbyworld.demon.co.uk/TD/Concerts/TDJavaheader.html |title =Thief (1981) |work=What Dreams Are Made Of |accessdate =2006-09-04] An extended version version of "Dr. Destructo" is available only on a promo single. "Igneous" is a remix of "Thru Metamorphic Rocks" from the 1979 album Force Majeure. Neither "Beach Theme" nor "Trap Feeling" appear in the film.
After Tangerine Dream completed the soundtrack, Mann needed another sequence. As Tangerine Dream was on tour, Craig Safan composed and performed "Confrontation".

Virgin Records featured "Beach Scene" instead (version B).In 2004,
Wounded Bird Records re-released version A with "Confrontation"; there were however two mispressings—one with the version B tracklist, and one with "Igneous" removed instead of "Beach Scene". All had the listing for version A on the CD and cover.References
