As a collector of 80s music, I got this soundtrack not for the score, but for the pop songs--particularly for the tracks by Tane Cain, who gets backed by a band called Tryanglz and has her first name spelled differently. And let let me say, her tracks are stronger than the stuff found on her one and only solo LP from 1982. These are true new wave gems, as are the two other tracks by Jay Ferguson and Linn Van Hek. Wow. These are the kind of songs that should have gotten airplay on popular new wave stations, but went unnoticed because of unfamiliar artist names. If you are a hardcore lover of 80s new wave, you do not want to miss this stuff. And also get your hands on the Revenge of the Nerds soundrack, another phenomenal new wave compilation by unknown acts.
