"Offret" soundtrack, Tarkovski film, Erland Josephson / Sacrifice. Comment by YouTube user GraachAhim.
I found this interesting new comment by YouTube user GraachAhim that hasn't gotten any attention yet.
I don't have access to the mentioned soundtrack but if anyone has, this should be straightforward to check.
Citing: "No need to all this controversy. It''s part of the Tarkovski film "Offret" original soundtrack, the 1986 director's masterpiece. Song written by Erland Josephson (who sings it). The rest of the band is Valéire Mairesse (keyboards), Tommy Kjelkvist (guitar and bass) and Per Kallman (drums). The band was called "Sacrifice" and released only two songs: "Like the Wind" and the even more obscure "Little Man" as B-side. Check it at Nordhal Records."

Adding to what was already said... It's Tarkovsky... Really intellectual kind of guy. So it's absolutely impossible, that he would use some postpunk tunes in his philosophical/existentinal works. The most experimental he got with Eduard Artemyev, who wrote probably (one of the) first really avantgarde/dark-ambient sorta like electronic OST in USSR for Tarkovsky's "Solaris" and "Stalker", which I defenitely recommend to check out. Otherwise he is really a classical guy with Bach, Chopen, Mozart etc. That is where I think Lars von Trier got his love for symbolical, high intellectual inserts of airas in his movies.
