Those who don't understand going out for the Friday night happy hour, imbibing liberally, and then heading out for the 4 a.m. butt-shifter should avoid this mix at all costs. It's an ode to the bridge-and-tunnel clubbers, a tribute to the Gap dancers of our world, a wink at gym-goers nationwide and a general nod to modern K-tel disco lovers. No-brainer floor-thumpers such as Kim English's "Everyday" and Etta James's "Miss You (Illicit Remix Edit)" are groovers and shakers, while Satoshi Tomiie's "Sneaky One (featuring Deanna)" and Mandalay's "Beautiful (Calderone After Hour Mix)" are sweaty 3.30 a.m. grinders. For Kings (and Queens!) everywhere, Second Season is simple, straight-up, disco-house sugar. --Steffan Chirazi

Customer Reviews

Will surprise and satisfy
From the strange, haunting beat that introduces Kosheen's song "Hide U," to the frantic mixture of vocals and synths at the beginning of Mandalay's "Beautiful" (the final song), this soundtrack will please and surprise dance fans. While the viewers of the hit Showtime series might think of favorite scenes in relation to the songs, any dance fans should enjoy this techno-heavy continuous mix.

The only part that shouldn't surprise anyone (especially not the gay men who were the original target audience for Queer As Folk) is the focus on female singers. Deborah Cox, Kim English, Sara McLachlan, and several other top-notch vocalists give strong, impassioned performances.

While the first soundtrack included a remake of the already danceable "Let's Hear it for the Boy," this one includes Etta James belting out a thumping dance remake from a more unlikely source; "Miss You," started as a laid-back, blues-flavored hit by the Rolling Stones.

As with the first season soundtrack, I love this one all the way through. While there isn't a particular song that I like above all the others (like Full Frontal's "You Think You're a Man" on the first soundtrack), it's a nonstop dance collection that offers nonstop satisfaction. Club DJ's can go take a break while this one plays in its entirety. Better yet, they can go dance with the crowd!

Heaven for Lovers of Dance Mixes
I have always loved the dance mixes from the likes of Hex Hector, Victor Calderone, Jonathan Peters, etc. If you like that style of music, I have no doubt that you will enjoy this 12 track cd. It features a lot of club-style music featuring plenty of (mostly female) vocals. If you are like me, this will make you immensely happy! There are plenty of renowned mixers whose work has appeared on this cd, such as Hex Hector, Tony Moran, Satoshi Tommiie, Mac Quayle, Guido Osario, Pete Heller, Illicit and Victor Calderone. This is not to mention the fantastic array of high-class acts such as Deborah Cox and Sarah McLachlan. Extremely up-beat and clubby with sprinkles of trance and the odd touch of beauty(Sarah McLachlan has the voice of an angel).
The only disappointment for me is that the tracks are all only about 4 to 5 minutes, which if you like extended mixes is perhaps a bit of a let-down. Nevertheless, for most listeners, the lengths will probably be quite satisfactory .... To assist, I have listed the track times as I sometimes am interested to know such information.

Overall, highly recommended if you like this sort of music! And for lovers of the show, it's a great memento!!!

One long party
All right, so it does not have individual songs. All right, so you practically have to watch the second season fifty times in order to find the points at which the music is used. And yes, I'll admit, the CD from the first season included more varied music, evoking a broader range of memories and emotions than the CD from the second season.
But really what would be the point of doing a CD for the second season exactly like the first? In a strange way, the second season CD evokes the party atmosphere of the first season BETTER than the first season CD did,because the nonstop dance music expresses that in your face party till you drop ambience that was so much a part of the first year.Don't come looking for the slow or introspecive songs of the 2nd season, and you won't be disappointed.
If you want to experience Babylon(albeit through your headphones or sterospeakers), the club where QAF began, this CD does it.
