I'm an 80's buff, but never heard of this one. What's it like? Trancers is a 1985 science fiction film. It was directed by Charles Band and stars Tim Thomerson and Helen Hunt. It is the first film in a series of six: Trancers (1985), and the direct-to-video releases; Trancers II (1991), Trancers III (1992), Trancers 4: Jack of Swords (1994), Trancers 5: Sudden Deth (1994), and Trancers 6 (2002). Jack Deth also appears in Evil Bong, but this appearance is not considered canonical. This film uses a method of time travel: People can travel back in time by injecting themselves with a drug which allows them to take over the body of an ancestor. When Jack Deth arrives in 1985, he is in the body of his ancestor, a journalist; Whistler assumes control of his ancestor, a police detective; and Deth's supervisor, McNulty, borrows the form of his own forebear, a young girl. Because of Helen Hunt's rise to fame in the 1990s, the DVD re-releases of the first two films have Helen Hunt's name listed first, then Tim Thomerson and Michael Stefani, respectively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trancers

Sounded really nice. But no one has credited the composers yet. Let me spell it out: PHIL DAVIES AND MARK RYDER

While digging over internet for some info about Richard Band, I accessed his web page and at the bottom of 'store' third page there I saw written this line: "CDs Coming Soon: TRANCERS 1 & 2, PRISON" Could a Trancers CD album be just around the corner??!! Maybe Intrada?? I very much hope so, because I'm a huge fan of this kind of synth sci-fi scores.

That line has been on Band's site since at least 2011.
