So I'm pretty confident that the Woodkid song "To The Wilder" from Death Stranding 2 is sampling (or heavily referencing) Daft Punk's "Giorgio by Moroder" from their Random Access Memories album
The repeating orchestral strings throughout Woodkid's "To The Wilder" sound to me like a slowed version of the orchestral strings in Daft Punk's "Giorgio by Moroder"
Specifically the strings in "Giorgio" around 5m20s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhl-Cs1-sG4&t=320s
"To The Wilder" to compare: https://youtu.be/ZYwNeNuxtIc

“At its core, the Cizeta project was a cunning and daring exhibition that finds its roots within Lamborghini. Following Chrysler's purchase of Lamborghini in 1987, a strong portion of the Italian company's staff had bailed out. In fact, there were more of Lamborghini's original team members working upon the Cizeta V16T than there were on the Diablo project, which was being conceived at roughly the same time.
Cizeta's founder, Claudio Zampolli, had previously been a test driver and engineer for Lamborghini, and following the Chrysler buyout, had found himself in Los Angeles to create his own, world-class supercar. In essence, the Lamborghini brand had never utilized motorsport to sell their cars, instead relying on an overall sense of outrageous flamboyance and overall speed to attract buyers. Zampolli had utilized this same mindset with Cizeta, ultimately creating something far more extravagant and powerful than his former employer could offer to the public.
Adding further Lambo flair to the Cizeta was their utilization of Marcello Gandini, one of the greatest automotive designers of all time, who'd previously styled the Lamborghini Countach. His work is evident in the overall design of the Cizeta V16T, especially on the front end, which bears a strong resemblance to the Lamborghini Diablo. This is no accident, as Gandini had apparently hustled himself overseas to pen the design of both cars.
However, unlike the Diablo, or pretty much any car offered for sale during its run, the Cizeta offered something inherently distinctive; 16 cylinders of pure, unadulterated power. Its 6.0L V16 engine, mounted transversely, was the heart of the entire car and also the source of its name. That nameplate, originally dubbed the Cizeta-Moroder V16T, is a direct reference to Giorgio Moroder, the academy-award winning composer and "Father of Disco", who'd originally set up half of the financial backing to create the V16T.
In an interesting twist, none other than Sylvester Stallone was first offered the chance to finance the car, although the actor apparently backed down for unknown reasons. Moroder would also back down from this position, resulting in only one of the original Cizeta cars to bear his name.
(…)
In terms of outright performance, the Cizeta V16T is rated at a staggering 540bhp (533 hp), which was absolutely insane in 1991, the first year the car was marketed. In comparison, the competing Lamborghini Diablo offered 492 bhp (485 hp), which honestly wasn't much less.
Nonetheless, the Diablo topped out at 180mph, whereas the V16T managed to pierce the 200mph barrier, which was highly novel for the early 1990s. Over at Ferrari, their Testarossa only managed to shell out 385 bhp (380 hp) for 1991, putting it well below the performance chart in comparison. Truthfully, the Cizeta V16T can be compared to virtually all supercars produced over the last 31 years without scrutiny, as this model still remains available to this day (although it seems that few have actually decided to pony up the cash to order one).
(…)
At this very moment, if you've got the finances, you can head over to Cizeta's official website and place your order for a new V16T. The website itself looks a bit archaic, so it's unsure if anyone is still tending the light at the end of this tunnel, but the company was on record as late as 2018, saying they were still open for business. With an MSRP listed at $800,000, it would definitely be far more interesting than virtually any other new car for that price.”

Forse la fascinazione nelle macchine e nei sintetizzatori era già stata instillata nei componenti degli Ultravox già dagli esordi glam-punk. Nel 1978 qualcosa cambia; la band si avvicina alle sonorità più vellutate ed eleganti new romantic dei Roxy Music e di David Bowie con System of Romance. Poi John Foxx lascia la band ma gli Ultravox proseguono in parallelo la stessa strada dell’ex cantante. La prima tappa di questo viaggio letteralmente stellare è Vienna dove le tastiere, le atmosfere noir e i paesaggi cosmici diventano protagonisti. l’intro "Astradyne" lancia l’ascoltatore davvero in orbita a suon di space disco: Kraftwerk e Moroder sono le principali influenze e il suono delle macchine ci dice chiaramente che siamo entrati negli anni ’80.

Midge Ure riesce a far fuoriuscire un’elasticità vocale davvero impressionante subito in "New Europeans". Traccia cadenzata electro-rock, i nuovi europei si distaccano dalle usanze del vecchio continente fatte di rock progressivo, di conservatorio, di strumentazione classica. La vecchia Europa era bruciata a Berlino con la trilogia di Bowie mentre le porte del futuro erano state spalancate e questo era il suono della nuova ondata musicale e generazionale. "Passing Stranger" ha quel qualcosa di apocalittico e di teatrale; i palazzi crollano danzando sul vocoder di Ure; la sua voce passa continuamente da un registro puro ad un altro effettato, ma perché in questo momento egli è il cantore dello spazio e dallo spazio (si possono sentire nella traccia un paio di volte, i synth che emettono pulsazioni da oltre i confini planetari, prima dei ritornelli). Le influenze si tingeranno sempre più di Bowie e di Bryan Ferry, le tracce passano dall’una all’altra senza soluzione di continuità, in un lungo viaggio che va dal rock alla dance alla minimal synth-wave (il brano omonimo). Dopo l’electro-disco "Sleepwalk" è forse il momento di uno dei picchi più stravaganti dell’album, "Mr. X", una traccia enigmatica e cinematografica, con richiami ai nostrani Chrisma/Krisma, dalle tinte in bianco e nero: espressionista e noir. "Western Promise" e il suo arpeggiatore moroderiano è ancora la prova che gli Ultravox sono colti, eleganti ma tremendamente decadenti. L’impressione che il mondo stia collassando laggiù piccolo in mezzo alla galassia è costante mentre noi stiamo ballando su una navicella spaziale David Sylvian e i primi Japan sono altre tangibili influenze che or sono perfettamente percepibili.

La bellezza e l’unicità di Vienna (reperibile anche la versione completamente rimasterizzata da Steven Wilson) è che i suoi brani sono chiaramente pop-rock ma le tastiere prendono il posto della chitarra, diventano strumento principale sia nella struttura portante che nei fraseggi. L’approccio alla tastiera è simile ma opposto rispetto al genio Trevor Horn che nello stesso anno scrive Drama per gli Yes. I synth di Horn avranno un effetto di scomposizione sulla struttura delle tracce prog mentre le tastiere di Midge Ure faranno da collante e da condensante. Mentre gli Yes descrivono la teatralità del collasso dall’interno del pianeta (che può anche essere uno dei loro ipotetici globi extraterrestri) gli Ultravox lo fanno da oltre l’orbita.
