5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best Tangerine Dream songs ever + some others!, August 19, 2000

What a great, great 80's movie this is! This & Valley Girl were both incredible at capturing a mood, a moment in time of that era. Or perhaps it was just the fact that I was that age back then (graduating high school and first starting college).

As far as soundtracks go, this one is great! Sure there's a few notable exclusions (Bruce Springsteen's - "Hungry Heart", The Talking Heads - "Swamp", and The Police's - "Every Breath You Take". Plus, Prince's - "DMSR" is a short version) but this disc is a great mix of rock songs and Tangerine Dream's awesome instrumental work.

Sure, many people may get this soundtrack just for Segar's "Old Time Rock and Roll", but that would be missing the point of the SOUND of the film. Phil Collins's "In the Air Tonight" and Jeff Beck's "Pump" are GREAT pieces of their work. Plus this version of Muddy Waters's - "Mannish Boy" is one of the best verions I've heard!

But the real treats of this soundtrack are the five incredible Tangerine Dream tracks (#2,3,4,5, & 11). These pieces are my absolute favorites by them (and they've done a TON of albums and movie soundtracks!). These 5 tracks create a mood and feel to the movie that really does enhance and make the film truly special! Just put on these five instrumental tracks and you'll instantly be taken back to those scenes of Joel Goodson making his future by saying "what the ----!

This is an import title and should be purchased while it is still available. I never have understood why it has never been available domestically.

Also if you really like the Tangerine Dream stuff on this soundtrack, check out the movie "Thief" with James Cann and then you'll be craving their full soundtrack to that movie! GREAT STUFF!!!

If it wasn't for Tangerine Dream, Katy Holmes would be looking for a husband and a baby. One of the most incredible soundtrack

bands ever. Tom would be selling underwear at this time, instead of dancing in them.

Just cant find this stuff these days. I really only bought this for the TANGERINE DREAM songs. But the vocalizations are good too. I just missed the instrumentals. Quite heart pounding, as my memory told me, and it didnt lie.

Good for mellowing out, sparking a fire with a loved one, or just dancing around in your underwear (now, would we do that? :D)
