Street Trash appeared in 1987, and it told the story of a group of down 'n' out junk yard living denizens who come in contact with a body melting alcoholic beverage called Viper. The film nicely mixed together over-the-top gooey & psychedelically coloured body melt effects, grit 'n' sleazy, slight comedic elements, and a likable cast- all making it one of the more memorable & still rewarding low-budget horror movies of the late 80’s.

The release comes in a four panel digipak, which takes in modified film still & film poster artwork from the film. And a rather fascinating one page write-up  by composer Rick Ulfik, where he talks about composing the soundtrack, the equipment he used(a Synclavier, Various samplers, and a 24 track studio), track compositions, ect.

The CD takes in twenty four tracks in all, and these consist of the original twenty tracks from the soundtrack, along with four bonus tracks- taking in unreleased tracks, and alternate versions of tracks( these extra tracks are only on the CD version of the release). And as mentioned early on it’s a fairly varied & rewarding score with memorable & atmospheric themes that nicely fit both the films junk yard setting & the body melt themes, and the odd more comic moments. Also some of the musical cues nicely mix in the great body retching 'n' melting sound effects from the film too.

All in all it's great to see this cult 80’s horror soundtrack finally getting a long deserved reissue. So if you’re a fan of retro synth based soundtracks this really is no-brainier, & even if you haven’t seen the movie there’s enough variation & memorability here to make this a effective stand alone release.
