On two prior sifts, I've posted my Tony James story so I won't do it again. But I too was a big fan of SSS and Gen X and Billy Idol and Sex Pistols and The Clash and PiL and B.A.D.
Carbon/Silicone? ...eh, not so much: the music doesn't really grab me...but never mind.

Italian music producer and composer Giorgio Moroder, who stole the Oscar away from John Williams in 1979 for the score to Midnight Express, produced SSS's debut record Flaunt It in 1986 and it's one of the best-sounding bad records of all time. He also won two more Oscars: one for the title song to Flashdance and once again a couple years later for the song Take My Breath Away from the homo-erotic movie Top Gun.

Moroder, who was a synthesizer pioneer in the 70s, was the man responsible for the SSS sound, although Tony James would surely disagree.

So the first time its been said in a movie was Top Gun? I incorrectly thought it was a Bond-ism.

Wrong music. Should be the Top Gun song...
