Electric Dreams (1984/2009) Movie and Soundtrack

Miles is a brilliant yet blundering architect who needs some kind of organization in his life to balance his daily employment with his intense research for a private project. To do this, He purchases a state-of-the-art computer that controls every aspect of his apartment – from the kitchen appliances to the overzealous security system – while also helping to develop his personal assignment. But after a freak accident in which the computer overloads and, in an attempt to prevent fire, is doused with champagne, the machine begins to develop a personality of its own. Meanwhile, Miles meets his new neighbor Madeline, a beautiful and talented cellist who he becomes instantly smitten with. But the computer, who now calls itself Edgar, is slowly developing human emotions and it too falls her Madeline’s charms. Jealousy ensues, resulting in Edgar gaining access to almost any electronic system that allows the monitoring of Miles’ every move. Can Miles and Madeline’s romance overcome Edgar’s envy in this bizarre love triangle?
