V/A - Kalt Wie Eis 1981

Soundtrack slabs are rare on wdthtc, but this record is interesting because of the movie of the same name: Kalt Wie Eis (Cold As Ice) is a hard-hitting NewWave thriller that picks up on the Black Series Hollywood movies of the 1930s, and the movie itself is worth seeing and the music as well. A short description of what's about: Mike is fed up with everything and everyone. Just eighteen years old, he initially quit the apprenticeship as a car mechanic because his master supposedly acted stupidly on him. Then there is constant trouble with the grumbling parents who don't like his lifestyle. The young man leaves his previous life behind, uncompromising and radical. However, the newly won "freedom" doesn't get him any further: binges in Kreuzberg's neighborhood pubs and women's stories, which don't really satisfy him either. Things don't seem to change until Mike meets Corinna, a dark-haired neighborhood beauty. But then Mike finally takes the wrong path and his existence threatens to get out of hand. As the smallest light in a gang, he fixes stolen motorcycles and is promptly caught: juvenile prison and another downward spiral are the consequences. Corinna, who promised to wait for him, is now visiting less and less. Mike's anger boils and he decides to break out of prison. After his successful escape cost the life of a policeman, the petty criminal has become a dangerous criminal for the authorities, and the blond rebel begins to be hunted down. Betrayed by his gang buddies, who in turn believe he ratted them out to the police, Mike begins to run amok. An excess of violence, born of general frustration with life, can no longer be stopped and Mike takes bloody and explosive revenge on his former buddies. Interesting story, and the soundtrack offers a decent selection of different German interpreters whose range was attractive to me at the time, of course after more than forty years some things sound lame and diverse, but I think the record is a nice part of this time and has good songs stocked..... and now the 2023 Bundesliga final.
