This is a collection I've been meaning to put together for some time to honor one of the greatest contributors to 80s movie soundtracks: Oingo Boingo! I thought this collection would be a lot of fun, especially since many of the songs aren't on any of their regular albums. In a few cases, the best way to get the songs was from one of their "greatest hits" compilations as a few of the soundtracks were only released on vinyl. I even threw in the two songs that Danny Elfman recorded during his solo days. For those reasons, the bit rate and sound quality of the songs differ a little, but I tried to find the best possible source for each song. And I apologize for leaving out one track "I Got To Be Entertained" from the 1981 film Long Shot, but it was unreleased and the only existing copies are sub-par quality. That and Forbidden Zone, which was technically before Oingo Boingo but still genius work. Now if we can only convince these guys to reunite...

Hey, LOVE the site! Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteI have one to add to the Oingo Boingo list.
"Just Another Day" is featured almost in its entirety during the opening sequence of THAT WAS THEN… THIS IS NOW (with Craig Sheffer, Emilio Estevez, Morgan Freeman, and Kim Delaney) from 1985.
