I have a lot of 1980s movie soundtracks, and it seems like the blend you are talking about was made for it.

I wouldn't exactly call this one New Wave but it's an excellent produced track for Atlantic Starr.

It was actually one of the few tracks I liked from their Barbara Weathers run and actually

the only one from this particular album. It would have been nice if the Lewis brothers would have allowed Maurice to produce a few tracks for this album.

I wasn't really commenting on Atlantic Starr's album.
I am getting a new wave'n'b vibe from that soundtrack, Armed And Dangerous.

Yes Evelyn!
