Another good oldie. I really enjoyed this CD, especially the "Love Theme" which had to be my favorite and impossible to find standing alone as an MP3 for legal download, moreover non-existent on itunes =(

The film may well have been fair-to-middling but the soundtrack is a cut above, considering.

The easy listening pop tunes are fine but have dated in a far less interesting way than the more adventurous cuts whose highlights are undoubtedly the electro and rap tunes by the Willesden Dodgers, Whodini and Mark Shreeve. Sure, these numbers have dated as well but they represent an excellent snapshot of that particular type of electronic music from the mid '80s and are well worth the (modest, if you shop around) price of admission.

A special mention should go to Jack Nitsche's mostly successful effort at evoking early '80s Tangerine Dream on the album's final track.
