The 1984 Streets Of Fire soundtrack gathers an impressive lineup of arena rock and new wave acts for Walter Hill's cult film. Fire Inc., The Fixx, Marilyn Martin, and The Blasters deliver doo wop revivalism, rockabilly energy, and synth-driven pop-rock across the runtime. The production is glossy and professional—exactly how major labels were packaging rock and roll in mid-80s mainstream radio. These aren't throwaway film songs; most tracks stand as solid examples of their respective artists' catalog. It's a time capsule of FM radio aesthetics and the optimistic rock energy of the era, all captured on cassette.
