Music reviews of Queer As Folk: Fifth Season
Music Review: Not really sure who this will appeal to
Rating: 3 Stars
As with season 4 this is a real mixture of styles but it is faithful to the music played during the show. If you are a fan of season 1 and 2 soundtracks then stop right here as you won't be interested in this. On first listening I thought URGH but I have played the CD many times before I came to write this and as with many reviews it is a personal opinion.
Firstly the mix covers a wide range of styles and to that end the only criticism is the flow from dance track to slow track to dance track etc for me it just doesn't work.
As for the actual tracks well..
1. The scissor sisters - never a great fan so its best for me not to comment on 'The Skins'
2. Gerri Halliwell - ok I guess but I found it light and 'too poppy'
3. DV Roxx - what I would expect from a QAF CD but out of place between Ms Halliwell and
4. Fat Boy Slim - which is just BORING !
5. Ultra Nate - remix of Free and porbably worth the price of the CD alone
6. Madeleine Peyroux - in voice as usual
7. The charlatans - I have been a huge fan since the heyday of the Manchester Sound so I really can't find fault with anything they do
8. PJ Harvey - jury is still out
9. Marilyn Manson - for me this was the surprising stand out track of the CD. Never thought I would like Mr Manson and even though I am a big Depeche Mode fan and love the original this is a worthy cover.
10. DJ Rhythm - what I would expect from season 1 and 2
11. Africanism All Stars - pleasant
12. and 13. - the remixes of Cyndi Lauper and Heather Small that many reviewers have made such a big deal about well maybe I should apologise for failing to see or should that be hear the magnificence of these 2 tracks. Cyndi sounds like she is singing under water, the quality is muffled and quite frankly really BLAH. As for the remix of Heather Small's Proud so what? OK so these were especially done for QAF and am I excited NO!
Having said all of that I don't regret buying the CD as it does complete the collection and I really like the fact that finally in the last season we get liner notes about were and when each track was played on the show.
The stand out CDs for me are still season 1 and 2, Queer As Nervous and Club Babylon.
Description of Queer As Folk: Fifth Season
The soundtrack CD for the fifth and final season of Showtime's #1 groundbreaking series includes all the latest club hits as heard on the program. A must-have for the millions of fans who've supported the show over the years.The liner notes make it immediately clear. Underneath the jewel box, there's a black cover; inside, a cast picture with the artists all dressed in funeral-style clothing. All this serves as a reminder that the fifth season of Queer As Folk is the end of an era. As far as this musical collection is concerned, the "thumpa-thumpa" dance hits (as the boys on the show say) are well chosen: you'll find everything from the remix of club classic "Free" by Ultra Naté to DV Roxx's rave-style "Hardcore MuthaF***a," on through to a pumped-up remix of Cyndi Lauper's "Shine," a track exclusive to this collection. There are also some other great, unclubby tracks within QAF's grooves, including the PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke duet "This Mess We're In" and Madeleine Peyroux's Billie Holiday-esque "Dance Me to the End of Love." The Scissor Sisters' track "The Skins," is a perfect album opener, with its disco sound, while the disc closer "Proud," by Heather Small (which accompanies the final scene in the series) is an exclusive remix of this Pride Parade-worthy track. The tune (reminiscent of Cher's "Believe") is a resounding gay anthem, complete with a chorus that sings "what have you done today to make you feel proud?" Considering the fact that this successful series has changed the way gays and lesbians are portrayed on television, the creators have plenty to feel proud about. --Denise Sheppard
