Side 1 features two tracks from Grand Theft Auto V, one of the best selling video games of all time: ‘Happy Ending’ and ‘Los Santos City Map’.

Side 2 features a new 2026 recording of ‘Love On A Real Train’, Tangerine Dream’s best-known track, from 1983 box office smash Risky Business starring Tom Cruise.

Mastered at Abbey Road by legendary cutting ace Miles Showell and pressed at Optimal in Germany, the EP is presented in a stylish single jacket by Invisible Hands Music.

Electro pioneers Tangerine Dream had a dozen top 20 albums on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s, as well as scoring some of Hollywood’s biggest movies including Firestarter (1984) and Near Dark (1987).
