Risky Business (soundtrack) Risky Business (soundtrack) Risky Business is the third soundtrack album and twenty-first overall by Tangerine Dream. It is the soundtrack to the 1983 film "Risky Business", starring Tom Cruise. It includes songs by Bob Seger, Muddy Waters, Jeff Beck, Prince, Journey and Phil Collins. The Tangerine Dream songs were chiefly previously released compositions, shortened and retitled to correspond to scenes in the movie. The other songs on the soundtrack, with the exception of "Old Time Rock and Roll" and "In the Air Tonight," are shortened versions as well. AllMusic noted that the soundtrack is a mix of electronic music from
Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! that he "long(ed) for the beat of Barriemore Barlow to break free, or the guitar of Martin Barre to swoop", at the same time he praised Anderson's poetics. AllMusic's review called the album "one of the minor efforts in the [Jethro Tull] catalogue". "Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die!", as an album, had lower sales than the preceding album "Minstrel in the Gallery" (1975) and following album "Songs from the Wood" (1977). It reached No. 14 in the United States, No. 25 in Britain, No. 10 in Austria, No. 10 in Norway and likewise in Denmark,
