5.0 out of 5 stars A gem for the ambient/mood set, May 25, 2004

I am quite glad i finally bought this cd. So nice to have the songs in their entirety in leiu of all the choped, degraded, and incomplete junk from the napster age.
I was 10yrs old when the movie was released and around 12 when vhs allowed me to view it. From the opening dream sequence to the end this was one of those rare movies that carried a strong mood and feeling throughout. Because of this even in my infancy of sexuality and intellect the film worked then and still does into my adulthood. This soundtrack allows those moods to follow me in the car or whenever i feel like putting the cd on.
All the Tangerine Dream tracks in this album are worthwhile. Something my opinion does not allow for their independent albums. Jeff's "the pump" and Phil Collins' solo carrer smash hit "in the air tonight" almost seem contrived to fit in with the somewhat ambient nature of the TD tracks. While im glad they are included "DMSR" and the rest of the other songs break up the "turn the lights off, kick back, and just breathe" mood. If you require an artificially enhanced bass line to pump up a lack of intrinsic passion or own a "melody who?" T-shirt this soundtrack may be dissapointing overall. There are some tracks missing from the movie like the Talking Heads song and the piece when Joel is talking to his parents in the living room before they leave town.

P.S. I am now positive that I dislike Bob Seger.

No regrets

5.0 out of 5 stars Brought me back to my high school days!, June 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Risky Business: Film Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I looked every where for this sound track and was told that it was no longer made. For the heck of it I looked it up on Amazon.com and there it was. I love it. The music gives me a flashback to my high school days. The songs done by Tangerine Dream just lets your mind slip away into another dimension. Especially "Love on a real train".

5.0 out of 5 stars A great soundtrack from a great film, January 24, 1999

Risky Business was one of the great films of the eighties. It brilliantly made comedy out of situations dealing with a confused high school senior and his sexual frustrations. The soundtrack wonderfully endorses his edgy, unsure feelings, particulary the wonderful, harried pieces from Tangerine Dream. Also on the track are excellent period songs from the eighties, most notably "In the Air Tonight" from Phil Collins. This soundtrack is a perfect example of how movie music can accentuate the feelings the film's characters, while standing on its own as great listening.
