To Live & Die In L.A.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Director William Friedkin knows a thing or two about innovative, genre-bending film scores. He commissioned edgy modern-jazz player Don Ellis for his classic The French Connection and reworked Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells” into the haunting soundtrack for the blockbuster The Exorcist. But even veteran film buffs were surprised when Friedkin turned the scoring chores for his taut 1985 forgery-ring thriller To Live and Die in LA over to British pop stars Wang Chung. Though they’re still best known for their perennial rock-of-the-’80s hits “Dancehall Days,” “Everybody Have Fun Tonight,” and “Let’s Go,” Friedkin’s early admiration for the band’s often underrated musicality paid off with a tense, rhythmic soundscape that crystallized the era and locale of the film. And, though synth-pop has gained ill repute as a cheesy 1980s cliché, this album ably proves that it could rise above its stereotype in dramatic fashion. The Jack Hues-sung title track was also a minor pop hit. –Jerry McCulley
