Description:

If you don`t have eclectic taste in music, soundtracks can present a problem. Sometimes a soundtrack will focus on one style of music exclusively, but most of the time, a director will use any types of music he/she finds useful -- regardless of genre. The director`s job isn`t catering to those who limit themselves to one genre of music -- it`s selecting any music that enables him/her to tell the story well. So if a director finds that everything from heavy metal to R&B to adult contemporary helps him/her tell a story, you could end up with a very diverse soundtrack. To fully appreciate the soundtrack for the 1985 film Vision Quest, you need to appreciate a variety of music. Fans of arena rock and pop/rock will appreciate Foreigner`s "Hot Blooded" (which goes back to 1978, and is the LP`s oldest offering), Sammy Hagar`s "I`ll Fall in Love Again," and Red Rider`s "Lunatic Fringe," while heavy metal lovers will get into Dio`s "Hungry for Heaven." But listeners will need an appreciation of dance-pop and R&B if they`re going to get into the Style Council`s `70s-minded "Shout to the Top" and Madonna`s "Gambler" (an ultra-infectious gem that, unfortunately, isn`t on any of the Material Girl`s CDs). "Gambler" is one of those songs that should have been a major hit but wasn`t, whereas "Crazy for You" (the soundtrack`s other Madonna recording) soared to the top of the pop charts. This LP isn`t recommended to either pop/rock or R&B/dance snobs, but it`s worth picking up if you have eclectic tastes. ~ Alex Henderson
