The best track on here is Muddy Waters’ “I’m A Man”. Otherwise, the Tangerine Dream music is just okay. This is a hard soundtrack to find; I had a hard time finding it when the movie was first released!

The formula was set with the success of a number of movie soundtracks in the 1970s; use a variety of hit songs from FM radio superstars, somehow wedge portions of the tracks into the movie and hopefully have a cross-promotional monster through little time or effort.
With Bob Seger, Prince, Journey and Phil Collins in the mix (along with Jeff Beck and Muddy Waters), this is a great example of the successful formula used by the entertainment industry. What makes the soundtrack a slight cut above the rest, though, is the five tracks from Tangerine Dream, which total nearly 18 minutes of the 45:42.
But it isn’t as if Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke and Johannes Schmoelling toiled in the studio while battling a strict deadline; the music is mostly from previously-released compositions that were retitled to fit scenes in the movie. Though the band released a number of soundtracks during the decade, this was the best venue to reach an audience that actually was in the forefront of the pop culture movement.
The concept was business as usual, but TD at least makes the album a little more interesting through its electronica magic.

It’s fun, it’s sexy, and it’s right on target! Tom Cruz “cruzes” his way through an Academy Award-winning performance in the movie, while the soundtrack to “Risky Business” simply blows your mind!!
The classic songs are all here, to lend a hand to the classic movie: Phil Collins’ “In the Air”; Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll”; (remember the hilarious portion of the movie when Tom Cruz is caught dancing around in his underwear? I was laughing for days!!)
Nonetheless, this soundtrack captures both the hilarious AND the mystic vibe that the movie portrayed, like the sizzling scene in the subway between Cruz and Rebecca D. (Ooh la la!!)
Well, excuse my rambling, but this masterpiece soundtrack of the 80s is simply too good to pass up. Get it and relive those days when you too could’ve got into an Ivy League school, yet squandered it all away for one night of partying and a gorgeous hooker…
JUST TAKE THOSE OLD RECORDS OFF THE SHELF!!………….

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?
)
