A Cross-Generational Love Affair: This Soundtrack Drives Music Aficionados Crazy!
You don’t have to be a die-hard Captain Laserhawk fan to fall in love with this soundtrack! It sounds as if it’s from an era when electronics were the be-all and end-all in the music scene. In today’s world, sounds like these are a true delight for the ears!
The beats of the 80s are back
How long did fans of electronic beats have to wait for this soundtrack? Definitely too long. They were on the verge of banishing their record collections along with books about the supposedly concluded era of Electro-Beats to the farthest corners of the shelf.
Then came October 19, 2023; the day Netflix released the adult-oriented cyberpunk adaptation “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Mix.” Since then, nothing in the music world has been the same. Tune in, get swept away, and dive into the unjustly forgotten worlds of electronic music!

Electronic Sounds from Ambient to Downtempo to Experimental
In the soundtrack, we discover an eclectic mix that unites elements of Ambient, Downtempo, New Wave. At times we even encounter songs in the style of Experimental Electronic, enriched with influences from Old Norse music (FAV Sewers) or Bluegrass sounds (The Deliverer of Justice).
All these genres share one thing: their structure and rhythm are strongly inspired by the musical styles of the 80s and early 90s.

The soundtrack from Ubisoft Music is brimming with numbers that are so damn good that it’s a real challenge to choose the best song. To spare ourselves this difficult decision, we focused on the fans. Here we present the three titles that have received the most likes:
1. FAV Embrace the Chaos
“Embrace the Chaos” is an epic masterpiece characterized by powerful drums, Ambient vibes, and Metal elements, becoming an anthem by the end. This song has risen to the top and received the most likes.
2. The Deliverer of Justice
This track starts with captivating Norse melodies, then takes a surprising turn to Bluegrass rhythms, and ends after just 37 seconds. “The Deliverer of Justice” has secured as many likes as “Embrace the Chaos.”

3. Captain Laserhawk Main Theme
The “Main Theme” of Captain Laserhawk is intense, electrifying, and fast-paced. It’s reminiscent of the rapid rhythms often found in video games. The distinctive melody only emerges in the second half of the track.
Blast from the Past
One track stands out in particular, precisely because it’s so different from the others. This title especially appeals to die-hard music fans who miss the 80s and offers fresh beats in the style of that decade. With “Masculine (Feat. Haleno),” it feels like you’re right back in the 80s, listening to a song by Kim Wilde.
Two Songs with a High Coolness Factor
“I like bitter” and “Embrace the Chaos” achieve a level of coolness similar to Don Felders’ iconic soundtrack “All of You” from the 1981 adult animation movie “Heavy Metal.”
