Brad Ira Fiedel (born March 10, 1951 in New York City) is an American movie music composer. A popular and progressive composer in the 1980s, he worked on several successful movies, predominantly in the action and thriller genres, and pioneered the use of electronic instruments and synthesizers - almost disappearing from the mainstream at the end of the 1990s.

He began his career in film in the late 1970s, and wrote extensively for TV movies and minor cinema releases, until director James Cameron hired him to score a sci-fi film called The Terminator in 1984, setting the wheels in motion for a successful career. The film went on to become one of the box office hits of its decade, launched the film career of the Austrian bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, and gave Fiedel his entry in the annals of movie music history — the metallic, pounding main theme has since become the defining work of his career.

Since then Fiedel has scored many popular and successful movies, including Fright Night (1985) and its sequel Fright Night II (1988), The Big Easy (1987), The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988), The Accused (1988), Blue Steel (1990), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Blink (1994) and True Lies (1994), although in recent years, Fiedel has not been in demand as much as he once was.

Brad Fiedel, Vangelis, John Carpenter, Howard Shore, Jan Hammer...the 80s really produced some fantastic soundtracks which have never been matched since...Even Hans Zimmer sounded great in the 80s when he composed for Black Rain

The soundtrack for the first Terminator movie is fucking greatness. [2] I remember the second being really decent too, and I generally love the film, but both the soundtrack of the original and the film itself are so dark, moody and 80s...fantastic...what on earth happened to this guy after Johnny Mnemonic, which I still need to see? Sure he has a life of his own, but seems that great talent is going to waste (which makes me want to cry as now we have rubbish Danny Eflman making Terminator soundtracks)

"Future Remembered" (from T1 OST) and "Desert Suite" are awesome ambient tunes

The best OST is ,,Anvil of Crom" and ,,Riddle of Steel / Riders of Doom" from Conan the Barbarian, Terminator 2 Theme is second to me. Arnie played in films with amazing- the best soundtracks!

I'm so obsessed with Desert Suite, it's a piece of art and one of the most touching songs I've ever heard.
