This soundtrack has "rarity" written all over it.
Here, as advertised is the original soundtrack to Willy Bogner's 1990 action film, "Fire, Ice & Dynamite." As far as this soundtrack goes..., where do I begin?
Well, for starters, this particular soundtrack has contributory material from artists like Bonnie Tyler, Chris Thompson, Marietta, Bruce Ingram, Jennifer Rush, Connie De Groot, Deep Purple, Dominoe, and even the late Isaac Hayes.
In fact, 4 songs alone were released as hit singles. These singles are:
-Break Out (Tyler)
-Win it All (De Groot)
-Muscles (Moses P.)
-We Are the Strong (Rush)
Some music videos would have been nice, but one can not always get what he/she wants... then again, there may be a video or two somewhere in Germany, but I doubt it.
Oh, and less we forget that all but one song contains a production imprint by legendary composer, Harold "Foley" Faltermeyer - in other words, he produced all but one of these songs. The one song, by the way, that was not produced by him was the infamous title song, performed by killer rock group, Deep Purple.
As great of a release this is, there is a few slight disappointments; for one, there is not single instrumental cue anywhere by Harold Faltermeyer - then again, I would have not expected one anyway.
Aside from instrumentals, another slight disappointment has to be the song "Rock Noon," performed by Dominoe, a German AOR/Rock band, which was produced by Faltermeyer.
DO NOT GET ME WRONG... that song kicks ass! However, I call it a disappointment only because it was taken straight from their 1990 album, "The Key," which was a killer album, also produced by Faltermeyer, hence a great CD that I would love to have one day. If this one song were to be rewritten or given an alternative version only for the film, this CD would be completely original.
NEVERTHELESS, this particular soundtrack owns, or "pwns" as it is said nowadays. If you love electric pop/AOR music, this must be for you.
Special thanks goes out to Filmpac for sending me the music to the film; this motivated me to get the CD.
The password is:
SB-1989
Enjoy!
UPDATE: I should have said something a while ago, but I now own the wonderful Japan [and perhaps alleged 1st press] import of this already rare soundtrack. Sure, there are no additional songs or bonus cues for that matter, but there is a 20+ page booklet featuring the lyrics to all of the songs. If anyone needs help as to what these singers are trying to say, feel free to ask.
