Basil does it...again.

How do you capture the musical essence of a movie without making it sound hokey or too cheesy? I don't know, not being a composer myself, but I just bet that if you ask Basil, he knows. The idea is this: Communists invade the american heartland, and amerca is getting her butt kicked, but enter PAtrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Lea Thompson, and Charlie Sheen to kill eleventy-billion thousand Filthy communists and liberate the universe from red oppression. Yeah, I know, it's playing to our base hatred and blind fears, but what better time to do it in. After all, we had Rocky, and by this time, he had already single-handedly toppled the soviets by beating up one guy, so why not a 10-man insurgency taking down one piddly little army?

Oh yes, the music. Captures the mood perfectly, the hopelessness of the initial invasion, the fight back from the brink...just a great listen, this is, and a shining jewel in the crown of Pouledaros (sp?) who gave us such classic albums as (both) Conans, and frigging Robocop! a five straight down the line!
