Exceptional soundtrack!.......2007-04-18

Season 4 has my favorite soundtrack of all five seasons. Unlike the other soundtracks, I don't find myself loving some tracks and skipping others. Season 4 of Queer as Folk was an emotional one and this reflects that. The mood is low key but multi-textured: it gets introspective, hopeful, sad, sexy, happy, and yes there are danceable tracks too. Somehow it does this seamlessly. There are some real gems here. Others have mentioned Cue to the Pulse: absolutely wonderful. There is also the cool and sexy Suede song "Attitude", the melancholy "Love of the Loveless" by Eels, and bitter sweet love song "Scream" by Ima Robot. The lower star reviews seem to be by people who were expecting the thumpa thumpa - and while there is nothing wrong with that, if you let go of that expectation, you may discover something deeper. More than any other soundtrack I find myself reliving the tender moments between the characters. The last track "Wonderful Life" by Black ends on a note of quiet but joyful optimism: everything will be okay. The characters suffer many challenges but, as Michael says about his beloved comic book heroes: "despite everything they survive". Perhaps I'm making this sound more down than it is - there is a lot of fun in these tracks too and I often find myself dancing. I've also had the thrill of discovering new bands to explore. I can't say much more other than recommend that you give this a listen. It's a rare treat to come across such a well-thought out album.

Great volume in the series.......2005-10-12

Honestly, this cd is worth the price for "Cue the Pulse to begin" alone. As others have said, that right there should get you to buy this cd without hesitiation. But, there are other fantastic songs on this cd that are equally great and make this cd satisfying. It ends, for instance, with "Wonderful Life" by Black. I hadn't heard that for almost 15 years or so, when I first had the Black full length cassette, which had an equally awesome song on it called "Everything is Coming Up Roses" that got tremendous airplay here in SF. So, point being, it was great to see the song included here, and brought back great memories, outside of the fact that it's a song with a great message.

Other songs on here...yes, others have mentioned, some are weaker than others. But overall, you get a great deal. Highly recommend this cd as something of a middle ground when you want something other than the constant thumpa-thumpa of Club Babylon.

Enjoy.

Very good.......2005-09-12

The music is very sexy, sand and happy, all the feelings that a gay man faces during life. Well for that matter the feeling that everyone faces.

Is good to listen while driving.

Hope you like it!

great thumpa thumpa.......2005-09-06

all the QAF soundtrack CD's do such a great job of catching the feel of the show, from the thumpa thumpa on the dance floor to the tender moment between characters. And this disc is no exception. Great dance tunes on this one.

The oddest approach to a QAF soundtrack so far..........2005-08-17

First two seasons, all dance music. Season 3 recognized the moodier moments in the show and gave us two separate discs-1 dance, 1 not. Season 4 just tosses together both styles in 1 disc crammed with 14 tracks. In terms of continuity, it sort of disrupts the flow. Perhaps they should have just opted out of putting any dance music this season since this was the least "hi-nrg" season of the bunch, and kept this volume moody and dark, which all works well. The coolest thing though is that you get a full 4 minute version of the new theme song by Burnside Project. And it's pretty apparent that the release of Club Babylon, which is ALL dance music on 2 discs, including many songs not even used in the show, is to satiate those fans of the dance discs.
