Music reviews of Scarface (Rmx)
Music Review: A Must For Soundtrack Collectors And Fans Of The Movie.
Rating: 5 Stars
"Scarface" is one of the great modern classics, it's one of those special films that has influenced everything from the way people dress to the way they talk. When the film was finally re-released on DVD in 2003 we were reminded of just how much this film has impacted American culture. Tony Montana (Al Pacino) is emulated by the rap culture like no other pop culture icon. One of the enduring qualities of "Scarface" is the film's music. Def Jam released a "tribute" album laced with some classic gangsta rap cuts intermixed with dialogue from the movie, but here we have the true soundtrack to one of the great classic gangster epics. Giorgio Moroder when not writing hits for groups like Blondie also occasionally scored a few flicks but "Scarface" remains his crowning achievement. Maybe not because of its musical merit, but certainly because of its popularity. For a while this was a rare find, if you wanted it you needed to purchase an imported copy. But now Moroder has released the "Scarface" soundtrack and not only that, he has remastered and remixed it to great precision. The songs sound better and crisper than before, Moroder has remixed them to sound more full and modern, but without losing the 80's essence of the songs. It's a trip back in time and the album fully expresses the excess of the period, especially with Debbie Harry crooning about "buzzing" on white powder candy. Though many of the cuts may seem strange compared to the ferocity of the movie, songs like "Turn Out The Light" and "Push It To The Limit" express the themes of the movie, the idea of being driven and bold (though Montana's boldness gets him killed at the end). "Vamos A Bailar" is a sweet, fun taste of Latin rhythms and is one of the pieces that has stood the test of time. The real highlights are the actual themes from the score like "Tony's Theme" which Moroder performs with a dark, almost operatic flare. "Gina's And Elvira's Theme" is romantic and one cannot listen to the piece without images from the film appearing in your head. Overall this is a soundtrack that belongs in every CD library for film buffs, soundtrack collectors and "Scarface" fanatics. Moroder has not delivered some cheap re-packaging, this is a very good print and has been remastered to perfection. It does not disappoint.
Description of Scarface (Rmx)
The DVD and 20th anniversary theatrical reissue of Brian DePalma's revisionist remake of the 30's film noir crime drama Scarface was treated to the release of a gangsta-rap "tribute" soundtrack that underscored the film's enduring, if ultra-violent legacy. But the film's original song-score remains its true musical soul, a pop-culture artifact that still echoes its era and locale with a feverish '80s dancebeat aura. This new edition has been personally digitally remastered by the score's original composer/producer, Eurodisco king Giorgio Moroder, who burnishes its electrobeat-driven performances with loving care. And while Paul Engemann's title track and other performances can't help but sound a bit dated and kitsch-centric, other performances (like Debbie Harry's slinky "Rush Rush") show how much the era has influenced bands like No Doubt; a cultural wheel turned full circle. --Jerry McCulleyPop CDs
