Just saw the filmography. Nice one! Two small additions for the 80s TATORT episodes here as it seems to fit. The episodes are:

1982 Das Mädchen auf der Treppe (ala “White Eagle”)
Tracks including the theme from the episode had a rare single release:

Of course the title track of the album “White Eagle” is the theme although in a different arrangement. No idea what was first… But not the first time the “adapted” things vice versa.

1983 Miriam
The tracks “Daydream” and “Moorland” had a rare single relase:

It should also be noted that all epsiodes include the 1991 one note separately feature the cult investigator duo Schimanksi (played by Götz George) and Thanner. For those who don’t know: TATORT is not a classic series in total. There are varying investigators in different cites as kind of sub series within the series based in a different city (as produced by different local broadcasters.

My favorite era is mid 70s to mid 80s and there is als good stuff in the 90s. But after ROCKOON I think I lost a bit of interest in them…

Favourite scores probably:
– SHY PEOPLE (generally for me one of their best scores)
– THIEF (with ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA one of my first CDs ever)
– FIRESTARTER (like that rather dreamy and totally non horror vibe)
– FLASHPOINT

Special mention STREET HAWK. I would love to have a best of – as it is primarily the theme – of that show. Also an addition to the filmography. The title track of the album LE PARC is the theme in a rather weirdly stripped down version.
