Recently I took a two-week 5,000 mile road trip across the country and back. In my rental car, I had opted for the satellite radio option because I knew I would be crossing wide open spaces and I didn't want to constantly be adjusting the radio to try and find a station. The main stations I listened to were Blend and Coffehouse. I tried the 80's station, but it really wasn't doing much for me. The songs were just not what I remembered listening to growing up in the Eighties. They even had a top 40 Eighties count down and I was woefully disappointed and had to shut if off by number sixteen or so as it just wasn't in my list of pop songs from the time. Where was my Journey, my Tom Petty, B52s, Devo, etc? At some point on the last leg of my journey, I switched back to the 80's station. Charlize Theron just happened to coming on as the guest DJ. She was talking about her new movie opening up, Atomic Blonde, and playing this soundtrack. I hadn't heard of this movie before, but as she described her feelings of each track and how it tied into the movie, she had me hooked. All the songs on this album comprise the epitome of the music of that period. The track Father Figure by George Michael seemed an odd choice for the epic fight scene which Charlize described. However, when I saw the movie, it was the perfect complement to the action. I love action movies and I love spy movies, so the combined theme was awesome. I bought this album after seeing the movie and I will be playing it often. I love the song 99 Luft Ballons and there are two versions of it on the album. Thank you Charlize for your DJ stint which brought this music to me.
