Customer Reviews

Don't bother.
The first CD contains 8 songs and the second only contains 6 songs. The second CD (with 6 songs) has no dance music at all; it's more representative of the montage or thematic sections of the series. The first CD is mixed and more dance oriented, but while the mixing is good, there are only a few decent songs. If you don't like trance, you probably won't like most of the songs either. I like trance, club, house, euro, etc and the choice of the songs on CD 1 is average to less than average.

Frankly I'm very disappointed in this CD set. There is a lot of decent club music played in the series that didn't make it to this CD set and at only 14 songs, I fail to see why it needed to be on 2 discs (other than the obvious marketing appeal). Seems that the producers of this CD set are using the loyalty of the gay audience as an excuse to put out an inferior product.

I you like the songs played at "Babylon" or the other dance music found in the 3rd series of QAF, take note that you won't find them in this CD set.

Three stars for the effort, not content
What can I say?
This two cd set features songs from the third season of our favorite "[...]", disc one featuring the "thumpa thumpa" sounds of Babylon while the second disc features music used for other scenes in the show, and "enhanced" with a Kirstine W. video which featured the cast.

That video, if you watch the show on Showtime regularly, has been played to death already and no doubt will be accompanying the upcoming third season dvd collection.

So how is the music?

Well....the problem is that, unlike the first season, it seems that they have ran out of good tunes for the show. In the first season, the songs they used not only complemented the scene, but vice versa...the music became crucial to setting the tone of the show, rather it is sexy and energetic (The Music), wickedly seductive (Straight to Number One), carefree abandonment (Forever Young), moments of quiet contemplation (Sleep, Ladybird), or just plain in-your-face exhibitionism (High School Confidential, More Effeminate Than You).

By the time we rolled to third season, most of the music have become generic and faded into the background. Listening to the two CD set I really for the life of me cannot place a finger on where from the show it appeared in....they just do not ring a bell or register a scene from the show.

And the one tune which I do remember...the sexy and funky number at the underwear party which Brian shanghaied Michael to....was left out. Considering how the two previous CDs seems to left out some really good tunes, I expected the exclusion. Perhaps Showtime should start listing the music again so I know where I can get it.

Till then, this CD will have to do. The music is not bad....but pales compare to the previous two collections, but they themselves have their own flaws. Perhaps it will grow on me in time.

Mixed Bag
The season 1 CD was brilliant, season 2 out of date by the time it was released, season 3 this one, mmmmmm. The first Cd is all club tracks as we hear in Babylon but somewhat of a style departure from the club tracks of previous seasons. If you like a driving bass, the sort of mix Peter rauhofer gives to most things these days then this is the CD for you. Even the addition of Yoko Ono fits here. The second CD is the disappointment the choices are odd, I know they are the sort of thing we hear at the end of the show and thats great but please market seperately. I bought this for the dance music (same reason I bought season 1 and 2) if I had wanted a second CD of stuff I was listening to 20 years ago i would have bought something else.
