On December 25th, movie fans will be able to catch the long rumored
remake of the Patrick Swayze/Keanu Reeves film "Point Break." Of course,
with a new movie, comes a new soundtrack, which will be released three
weeks earlier on December 4th through Alcon Sleeping Giant/Caroline.
Gone are the songs by Ratt, Concrete Blonde and Sheryl Crow from the
original soundtrack and in it's place is a disc filled with rocking rhythms and steady beats. The new thirteen song release begins with one of the only rock
songs on the album provided by guitarist Andrew Watt titled "Runaway."
The beats begin to flow during the steady flow of "I Need Your Love"
from Gareth Thomas and "The Power Of Now" from DJ elite Steve Aoki &
Headhunterz. San Diego alternative pop band MRKTS look to bring the
energy higher with "Do You Wanna" along with the electronic dance remix
of "Take Me Down" from Genevieve. The album finishes with Dig The Kid
adding spurts of energy during "Still Breathing" and composer Tom
Holkenborg (Junkie XL) keeping the rhythm going through the
eleven-minute "Point Break End Credits." To find out more about the new
soundtrack to the upcoming "Point Break" movie, please visit facebook.com/pointbreakmovie.
The soundtrack to the 1980 cult classic film "Cruising" gets the
latest call for the remastered treatment from Audio Fidelity. The soundtrack is a mix of
punk rock and disco to capture the essence of this psychological
thriller which originally starred Al Pacino. The ten-song release begins and ends
with songs from Willy DeVille as "Heat Of The Moment" looks to combine
the beats of disco with an edgier rock vibe. The raw punk-like fury of
The Cripples "Loneliness" and "Hypnotize" benefits from this new
remastered version of the soundtrack as the music is allowed it's space
to breathe instead of sounding like one big crash of sound. The
two-minute guitar-driven rocker "When I Close My Eyes I See Blood" from
Madalynn Von Ritz has a warmer tone as the drums and bass become a
bigger factor in the song. The Germs have fun with the blasted of energy of
"Lion's Share," before the album finishes with the Tex-Mex, ZZ Top like
shuffle of "It's So Easy" from Willy DeVille as his vocals just take
over the song. With the many punks songs on this release benefiting from
the upgrade, maybe Audio Fidelity will look into more from that genre
for future releases. To find out more about the new Super Audio CD
release of the "Cruising" soundtrack, please visit audiofidelity.net.
