This disc offers the music featured in the TV series QUEER AS FOLK. The show began in England, and was initially deemed too controversial to be shown in the US. However, Showtime took up the gauntlet and created its own series based on the original, focusing on the ups and downs of life as a homosexual in today's world. The songs included here are the kind you'd be likely to hear on a long evening of cosmopolitan club-hopping (specifically an evening of gay club-hopping). Synth blasts and house beats are the order of the day, as frenetic dance rhythms pound out a hectic cadence. There are some variations, though, such as the old-school disco beat of Alcazar's "Crying at the Discoteque," the muted, jazz-sampling "Straight To...Number One," and a clubbed up take on the Deniece Williams '80s hit "Let's Hear it for the Boy" that gives the old FOOTLOOSE anthem a whole new context.
Includes liner notes by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman.
Audio Remixer: The Dreamcatcher.
Compilation producers: Vincent Degiorgio, Scot McFadyen, Michael Perlmutter, Bill Rosenfeld.

Good CD But UK Version Better This is a good CD. Bought the US and UK versions at the same time. What a shame that the US version only has 15 songs (2 of them only 28 seconds each!). The show itself had used 233 different songs in it's first 22 episodes (season 1) and only 15 made it onto the soundtrack? The 2 UK versions that are available make use of 66 titles from their series. I can only hope that the folks involved with the North American version of QAF make available soon, a double CD set. There are too many other great songs that I would love to listen to. Submitted by a reviewer (Baltimore, MD, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
