Queer as Folk Soundtrack Review
The Queer as Folk soundtrack is a blend of popular music and score. While the show does feature some original music, most of the songs are contemporary hits. The music reflects the characters and their stories. The tracks are mixed well and flow together nicely.
The Sound of the Show
The Queer as Folk soundtrack is a must-have for fans of the show. Featuring a mix of dance, pop, and R&B tunes, the CD perfectly captures the pulse of the show. From the first track, Amber’s “Sexual (Li Da Di),” to the last, Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” the soundtrack is packed with catchy tunes that will keep you coming back for more.
The Songs on the Soundtrack
The Queer as Folk soundtrack is a compilation of club-oriented songs by various artists, released in early 2000 to accompany the UK show of the same name. The vast majority of the tracks are remixes of existing songs, though there are a few original tracks as well.
The soundtrack opens with a techno remix of Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time.” The remix is solid, and actually improves on the original song. It’s followed by another club track, this time a remix of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love.” The remix is good, but doesn’t add much to the original.
Next up is anoriginal track by Danny Rampling, “Inner Smile.” The song is a slow, dreamy piece that’s reminiscent of Massive Attack or Portishead. It’s followed by another original track, this time by Chicane featuring Bryan Adams, “Don’t Give Up.” The song is a slow, emotional ballad with Adams’ vocals sounding very strained.
The next two tracks are remixes of existing songs. The first is a club-oriented remix of Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger,” which improves on the original. The second is a downtempo remix of Lisa Stansfield’s “All Around the World,” which strips away the soulfulness of the original and leaves only a bland pop song.
The final three tracks on the soundtrack are all original tracks. The first, by True faith featuringTopcat, “Take Me Away,” is a slow, atmospheric piece with rapping from Topcat. The second, byATB featuring York,”The Fields of Love,”is another slow, atmospheric piece with York providing some ethereal vocals. The last track on the album is an upbeat club track by Rosabel featuring Terry Thompson,”You Belong to Me.”
Overall, the Queer as Folk soundtrack is a solid collection of club-oriented songs. There are a few weaker tracks, but overall it’s a enjoyable listen.
Conclusion
Overall, I really enjoyed this CD. I thought it had a good mix of songs, and I liked that it was a mix of artists that I knew and some that were new to me. I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of Queer as Folk or just enjoys good dance music.
