SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:04 Min.
Performed by composer-conductor Harold Faltermeyer, this instrumental appears on 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop film soundtrack. The recurring theme narrates Eddie Murphy’s Detroit police detective ‘Axel Foley,’ as he searches for illicit evidence proving who killed a childhood friend.
REVIEW:
It’s likely one of the most enduring movie instrumentals of the 80’s. Harold Faltermeyer designed this catchy theme to be synonymous with Axel Foley’s sneaky ingenuity/improvisations, not to mention his team-up antics with fellow cops Taggart & Rosewood (John Ashton & Judge Reinhold). Faltermeyer’s spot-on instrumental work here remains a gem. For soundtrack playlists or just simply ‘80s nostalgia, “Axel F.” is a can’t- miss download option.
