Lil' fit of nostalgia for the very short period of my life where I was discovering in a row, on VHS, a series of efficient little scifi/anticipation flicks you might have already heard of : "Terminator 2", "Predator 2", "Robocop"...

Great soundtracks which encapsulate their tone and universe so accurately that listening to their main themes almost feel like a whole movie spoiler.
