Who composed the Mad Max Soundtracks?
The music for Mad Max and Mad Max 2 / The Road Warrior was composed by the Australian musician Brian May – no relation to Brian May from Queen. Brian was the Music Director of the Australian Broadcast Commission, and scored a variety of Australian Films from this era, with “Mad Max” and “Mad Max 2” possibly being the scores he is most remembered for. Brian unfortunately passed away in 1997, you can read some further information on Brian on his biograph page. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was scored by Maurice Jarre, a well known composer of a wide variety of film music. The title track to the film was obviously sung by Tina Turner – further detail can be found on those recordings below.
