QAF:S4 A Change in Direction and BPMs
I purchased Queer As Folk: Season Four spur of the moment thinking it would be a great summer Hi-NRG disc for listening in my car. After my initial disappointment, where I thought briefly of writing a "don't bother" type of review, I decided to really take a listen. After further consideration, I believe it makes for good listening, but not if your in the mood for a continuous bump and grind upbeat dance mix. There is nothing bad on this CD and it does have a number of dance-oriented selections, but some cuts are more worthwhile than others including Cue the Pulse to Begin by Burnside Project, Train by Goldfrapp, Understanding the New Violence by The Uncut which has an early 80's dance/new wave retro sound, the hilarious showbizzy/loungy If I Were a Man by Andrea Menard and the melodic Wonderful Life by Black, the main title cut from his 1987 release. Listening to the lyrics of Wonderful Life one can understand why it was chosen by the producers of the series. I hope our lives are more multi-dimensional than just going to the local cha-cha palace on Saturday night and the culture that surrounds it. The QAF:S4 soundtrack, while not a classic, proves that a change in direction can be a good thing. I applaud the producers of the series and the CD for taking chances and risking alienating fans which they have done here obviously. After all, the same thing over and over again is boring and not very creative.
A Great Soundtrack
I can understand why many people who bought this C.D looking for club music are dissapointed. For me, however, it is better than season two and three becasue it actually sounds like the series. The club music is only part of the show and many of the most memorable moments don't happen at Babylon or Woody's. Maybe they need to release a general soundtrack and a dance soundtrack for each season
Thankfully not just dance music...
I get so tired of the "gay equals club music" stereotype that seems to plague every gay-themed release. Thankfully, the people who produce QaF realise that there is more to music than the incessant thump of a disco beat.
This disc creates moods and reflects the emotions that the characters were feeling during the scenes in which they played. I like the new theme as it isn't so frantic and over the top. "Spunk" was great, but it's time for a change. The show is more mature than when it began and the sonic scapes are reflecting that.
Yes, there are a few twirly numbers for the circuit queens who seem to want to rule the world but there are also ambient, edgy rock tracks that evoke more complex moods for the rest of us. Go deep... turn yourself onto something with some more layers.
