CD Reviews

I wish I knew how to quit this remix CD?!
G. Mitchell | Los Angeles, CA United States | 06/15/2006
(1 out of 5 stars)

"BROKEBACK is one of the BEST movies and soundtracks EVER, no contest - but sadly, this remix CD project simply bastardizes a brilliant, haunting original score to make it...er...danceable...no...palatable...nah...to circuit queens high on meth or Tina. In theory, it's a semi-interesting conceit - in reality, it's one long, flat, tribal drone that goes on ad nauseum long after what little interest there was has already peaked. Do yourself a favor and support the film by buying the DVD and the original score/soundtrack, but take a pass on this - this MIGHT have worked with a cooler DOWNTEMPO remix - maybe HERBERT or JOAKIM or PORTISHEAD...anyone...but these hacks!"
An ABOMINATION! An ATROCITY!

"I love the picture on the cover (which looks better in colour, though) -- but who in HELL thought this was a good idea??



"I know! Let's take the heartbreaking end theme from the movie, where everyone in the theatre is sobbing, and mopping away their tears, and let's kack it up by adding bouncy little rhythm tracks to it, so all the club airheads and disco bunnies who are ripped on E can get up and boogie to it!"



No, no, NO! A thousand times NO!! How anyone who has seen this movie could possibly feel like DANCING when they hear that tune is beyond belief. This was a horrible, GROTESQUE idea. It doesn't even deserve one star. Anyone involved with this production should have their career in music terminated immediately."

"The most exciting thing for fans of Brokeback Mountain is that not only is the movie one of the greatest films in perhaps.. forever, the related goodies are just as good (soundtrack, book, story-to-screenplay, etc). Whether you bought the actual soundtrack or not, you are surely aware of this film's fantastic score by Gustavo Santaolalla, in particular "Wings." The song has emotion far beyond any piece of music I have ever heard. Surprisingly, once given Dance Remixes, the score still shines through and still makes you cry.



The track is remixed by three of the decades best DJs Tony Moran, Manny Lehman, and Gabriel Dresden. Their remixes are hot enough to make you dance, but never seem to lose anything that makes Wings so special. Tony Moran's mix seems to be the most popular of the three, and for good reason. "Wings" is given swishy ambient waves behind a killer dance beat. In perhaps my favorite mix by Manny Lehman amazing club sounds bang between choruses, and the Gabriel Dresden remix focuses most on the beauty of the original song as it builds up to a dramatic pause where "Wings" plays without a drum beat for a few moments, and is then taken back to the sweeping bass and guitar.



It's remixes like these that prove a good song will be good anywhere it goes, to the clubs, on a movie screen, or in your CD player.



Whether you are just a huge fan of the movie and want to collect everything Brokeback, like dance music, or just want something different in your music collection, it's impossible to deny that this collection of remixes will blow you away."
