The instrumental {|Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire|} by mega producer {|David Foster|} from his self-titled album hit the Top 15 in 1985, following the number one success of {|Foster|}'s production of {|John Parr|}, also from the film {|St. Elmo's Fire|}. {|Foster|}'s work overshadowed larger-than-life producers who came before him -- {|Jimmy Miller|}, who was signed to a {|CBS|} label as a vocalist before his stellar career with {|Blind Faith|} and {|the Rolling Stones|}, as well as {|Bob Crewe|}, who was produced by {|Jerry Wexler|} when he released the {|Motivation|} disc. One would think {|Foster|} could have launched himself further into the mainstream given his tremendous success -- or the fact that, unlike {|Crewe|} and {|Miller|}, he actually had a hit with {|Skylark|} in 1973, the Top Ten {|Wildflower.|} An instrumental of that classic would have lent itself well to this {|Atlantic|} recording featuring a bevy of name session players from {|Carlos Vega|} to the horn section from the group {|Chicago|}, as well as {|Olivia Newton-John|} appearing on the tune {|The Best of Me.|} The handsome producer stares out of the cover of this album, and he certainly has the look, the drawback here being that it's difficult for the mass audience to get a handle on an album of mostly instrumentals. {|Elizabeth|} is beautiful, while {|Playing With Fire|} has {|techno|} elegance, but without balance it becomes too much of a good thing, all high-tech frosting when some of the producer's famous vocalist friends/clients would have lifted the project to a different level. Imagine {|Ray Kurzweil|}'s computers, which write their own {|poetry|}, coming up with instrumental music, and that's pretty much what you'll find here. Cool as ice and at times soulless, there's no disputing it is well-crafted and listenable. But outside of {|Newton-John|} on {|The Best of Me|} and {|Richard Page|} helping out with backing vocals on the {|Asia|}-sounding {|Who's Gonna Love You Tonight,|} the {|David Foster|} album plays like a movie soundtrack rather than an album that contains movie music: {|Theme From the Color Purple|} and {|Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire.|} {|Saje|} is a very nice conclusion to the disc, and it is all first class. Maybe with a future re-release, {|Foster|} can put voices and lyrics to some of the instrumental tracks and realize the potential in these grooves. ~ Joe Viglione Music>Music>Pop Standards>Pop Standards>Pop Standards, Wea Core >3<
