5.0 out of 5 stars Superb soundtrack., July 13, 2004

This soundtrack defines this particular era of the 1980's. Watch the movie and you'll understand. Highlights are the original version of 'Good Love' by Prince and a superb version of 'True Faith' by New Order.

I love this movie. I got the soundtrack on cassette right after I watched the movie. Listening to the soundtrack makes me think of and remember scenes from this movie. The song Ice Cream Days by Jennifer Hall sends chills down my spine when I hear it ever since I watched the movie. Even the biggest Prince fans do not know of the song that's on this soundtrack. I gave it 4 stars because it's got all the songs from the movie on it except for the title track, Bright Lights, Big City by Jimmy Reed. I am disappointed by that, but you can download that song and add it to your collection if you want to. I like 80s music since I grew up in the 80s, so I like this soundtrack. I wish there were more songs on this soundtrack, but as is, it is what it is, which is a motion picture soundtrack.

Guess I just don't like Depeche Mode and the 80's sound of this film soundtrack. It needed more variety - - should have included Lou Reed's Brigh Lights Big City. Prince is a brilliant musician as are the others, but somehow it misses some vibrancy and distinctiveness.
