Firstly I am not claiming this song to be mine at all, this song appeared on the 1984 movie “Electric Dreams” as someone that’s seen and enjoyed this movie I decided to use Nexus & FL Studio to recreate the “Dual” scene this was produced by ear so if the synths sound out of place thats why, note this isnt an official mix just an edit and a bit of fun :) Read below for info on the movie…

Electric Dreams is a 1984 British-American comedy/drama/romance/science fiction film set in San Francisco, California that depicts a love triangle between a man, a woman, and a home computer. It stars Lenny Von Dohlen, Virginia Madsen, and Bud Cort (voice) and was directed by Steve Barron. It was the first film released by the Virgin Films production company.

The soundtrack features music from prominent popular musicians of the time, being among the movies of this generation that actively explored the commercial link between a movie and its soundtrack. The soundtrack album Electric Dreams was re-issued on CD in 1998.

The VHS recording of this movie is rare. It was released in 1984 and again in 1991, but has not been manufactured since the mid-1990s. MGM Home Video released a Laserdisc in America in the early nineties, and Warner Bros released a Video CD version for the Singapore market in 2001, but both are out of print. The movie has never been released on DVD, however Amazon UK have it listed for release in April 2009

Plot

The story opens with Miles Harding (Lenny Von Dohlen), an architect who envisions a brick shaped like a jigsaw puzzle piece that could withstand earthquakes. Seeking a way to get organized, he buys a home computer (made by the fictitious company Pinecone Computers) to help him develop his ideas. Although he is initially unsure that he will even be able to correctly operate the computer, he later buys numerous extra gadgets that were not necessary for his work, such as switches to control household appliances like the blender, a speech synthesizer, and a microphone. The computer addresses Miles as “Moles”, because Miles mistyped his name during the initial set-up.

When Miles attempts to download data from a mainframe computer at work, the computer begins to overheat. In a state of panic, Miles pours a nearby bottle of champagne over the machine, which brings the computer to life.

The remainder of the movie deals with a love triangle between Miles, his computer (which identifies its own name as “Edgar” at the end of the movie), and Miles’ neighbor, an attractive cellist named Madeline (Virginia Madsen). Edgar increasingly invades Miles’ affairs leading to several invasions into his life away from the house.

Eventually, Edgar accepts Madeline and Miles’ love for each other, and appears to commit suicide by sending a large electric current through its acoustic coupler, around the world, and back to itself. In the final scene, a pop song written by Edgar as a tribute to Miles and Madeline plays on radio stations around the United States.
