The third season of AMC’s underrated tech period drama Halt and Catch Fire got underway this week, and with this also brings the digital release of the show’s original soundtrack, scored by Paul Haslinger. The brooding, synthesizer-dominated score is strikingly similar to that of the Netflix original series Stranger Things (whose composers, S U R V I V E, are going on tour), so if you enjoyed that release, you’ll most likely find this very interesting. Stream the full soundtrack via Spotify below.

Meanwhile, the show’s music supervisors have compiled several great playlists based around the show’s characters. You can stream the one for Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis), featuring songs from Gang of Four, Minor Threat, The Fall, X-Ray Spex, The Chameleons, among others, below.
