Risky Business is a soundtrack album by the German band Tangerine Dream for the 1983 film, starring Tom Cruise.[3] 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.
Although the film included "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, "Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen, and "Swamp" by Talking Heads (which includes the lyric "risky business"), these have never been released with the soundtrack.
"Love On A Real Train" by Tangerine Dream sounds like an adaptation of "Music For 18 Musicians" by Steve Reich.
