What's the Big Hurry dir Sid Davis (1974) Music by Louis Barron

Nightmarish Driver's Ed film from 1974 that's more of an art film than a scare film. It's all audio scenarios of poor driving choices overlaid by junkyard B-role of junked cars getting crushed.  What makes it nearly inaccessible though is the avant-garde electronic score by Louis Barron of Fantastic Planet fame

Forcefeel- Freedom

Chilltronic and downtempo

Mango Ray- Equity Plateau

Glowy and synthetic
