Description
The soundtrack to the film Scarface was released with a gangsta rap tribute album. The original score was composed by Giorgio Moroder and produced by Eurodisco king, Giorgio Moroder. The soundtrack has been digitally remastered by Moroder and burnished with loving care. While some of the performances can sound dated and kitsch-centric, other performances (like Debbie Harry's slinky "Rush Rush") show how much the era has influenced bands like No Doubt. This cultural wheel has been turned full circle.
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.
