Amazon.com This remake of the 1996 Japanese film that set unlikely box office records in its native country turns more on a sexy, cinematic dance revivalism than the charms of stars Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez. While its soundtrack never veers far from that noble task, it gratifyingly jolts its familiar rumbas and tango rhythms with a few modern musical kicks all its own. Pussycat Dolls' crisp, sensuous take of the standard "Sway" may subtly juice tradition, but Gotan Project's "Santa Maria" gives those familiar Latin rhythms a downright savory electronica makeover. Producer/arranger John Altman underscores tradition via his versions of chestnuts both lively ("Happy Feet") and ethno-apropos ("Espana Cani," "Perfidia," "Andalucia") and even a suitably schmaltzy cover of Mancini's signature "Moon River." Altman's sturdy musical background helps focus songs as diverse as Peter Gabriel's bittersweet "The Book of Love" and Gizelle O'Cole/Pilar Montenegro's vibrant, modern Latin-inflected title song, Jamie Cullum's club-beat-meets-lounge take on "I Could Have Danced All Night" and Miya's slinky, hip-hop seasoned remake of Bowie's "Let's Dance." --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Music to Cook Dinner ToNovember 13, 2008 Elizabeth Westmont(Philadelphia) Put on this CD and cook! You will dancing in front of the sink, fridge, and stove. Whenever you're feeling blue, just listen to this music and you will be alright. If you're having friends or family over, again, play this CD and someone will end up dancing!
wedding songOctober 4, 2008 A. Lehman It was a little more mellow than I anticipated. I really wanted the song from Peter Gabriel. It was planned to be the first song my husband and I would dance to at our wedding. The band never heard of it, so i just listen to it on my way to work.
One of my favorite CD's!August 26, 2008 jeriusf(Madeira Beach, Fl USA) I keep this upbeat music in my CD player at all times and listen to it every weekend! If you love dance movies you will love this CD!
Love itFebruary 10, 2008 Katrina L. Chilton(KY) I loved the movie and I loved the music. It's like a walk through time, very soothing music.
Superb Music - Mediocre recordingFebruary 8, 2008 Christos Mitsides(Cyprus) Superb music, disappointing sound quality (if you are an audiofile!)coming from a company of that calibre. Price not justified.
