Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Passionate remixes of the music featured in the critically acclaimed film CITY OF GOD from the very best Brazilian electronic artists and DJs.

"City of God" is the story of the slum gangs of Rio de Janeiro. Breathtaking and terrifying, urgently involved with its characters, it announces a new director of great gifts and passions: Fernando Meirelles. The film has been compared with Scorsese's "GoodFellas," and it deserves the comparison.

The movie takes place in slums constructed by Rio to isolate the poor people from the city center. They have grown into places teeming with life, color, music and excitement--and also with danger, for the law is absent and violent gangs rule the streets.

"City of God" does not exploit or condescend, does not pump up its stories for contrived effect, does not contain silly and reassuring romantic sidebars, but simply looks, with a passionately knowing eye, at what it knows. - Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun Times

1 out of 5 stars POO ON REMIX SOUND TRACT.......2006-12-01

This sound tract remix was a boring redundent waste of my time. I should of read other reviews before I purchased it. It's a total waste of $$$.

1 out of 5 stars Avoid the REMIX version.......2005-05-20

I saw the movie and was going to get the original soundtrack, which sounded great on the DVD. Other reviews indicated that the remix version was much superior, so I bought that version. What a mistake! The remix uses a bunch of dime-store, tinny-sounding effects that just ruin the sound in my opinion. In disgust, I gave up listening after hearing about 6 cuts. Unless you're into a heavily disco-ized sound and special effects, I'd avoid the remix version like the plague.

3 out of 5 stars expecting something different.......2004-07-30

i bought this cd hoping to hear some brazilian funky fighting music, but it's all electro-drum and bass type stuff. good music for chillin' out or makin' luv to tho.

5 out of 5 stars City Of God Remixed is divinely inspired!.......2004-02-24

This "remix" soundtrack to the groundbreaking City Of God movie and original soundtrack sets the bar for all that come after it! It is an incredible reworkign for the already classic songs from City Of God, remixed by the hottest Brazillian DJs in electronic music today!

A perfect compliment to the original soundtrack and don't forget to check out City Of God Remixed Volume 2!

5 out of 5 stars Great Film, Great Music, Great Mixes!!!.......2004-02-24

I love this movie and I'm so glad it's nominated for 4 academy awards! I got the soundtrack and loved it, but these remixes are soo cool that since I've got this album of remixes I listen to it much more than orignal sountrack. Especially good are the first and last tracks by Drum Magick, but the album is so solid and consistent that everything is great! For fans of both the film and Brazillian Electronica, this album is a must have!

5 out of 5 stars Another Amazing City of God Project. Shake Your @#$ To This!.......2004-02-24

I am a big fan of both the regular City of God soundtrack and the first remix CD. This one is mellower in ways, which is a very nice balance. Especially great for dancing, working out or just having fun at home. This is a series of CDs where you must have all 3 CDs in your collecion but Electronica fans will want to focus on the 2 Remix projects if they must chose. So enjoy these and get the party started. Also see my review of Volume 1.

5 out of 5 stars More Brazillian Electrobliss!.......2004-02-24

I was groovin' my trobles away with this amazing soundtrack sequel to the heartbreaking film City Of God. This incredible CD agains combines infectious traditional Brazillian rhythms with top shelf Brazillian DJs to create a sonic soundscape that is as engaging and haunting at the movie itself.

City Of God Remixed Volume 2 is a perfect compliment to the first soundtrack, and anyone who has heard that will enjoy this one!
