Free Music Review: Love the Songs and the Movie
Hit: 5 Stars
I've grown increasingly fond of the movie Fame over the years, appreciating more and more what an electrifying and entertaining picture it is. It was filled with great songs, both upbeat and slower, that I feel have held up very well. Irene Cara has an amazing voice.
What I would like to focus on in this review is the recording quality of the remastered CD. It is miles above the original release. If you have the original CD of Fame, cut it into little pieces and get this one. The original sounded so dull and lifeless I wondered who did the recording - it sounded like everything had a blanket over it. That was a huge insult to the movie. The remastered CD cures this - the sizzle is back. The voices and instruments are alive, not under a pillow.
Adding the bonus tracks is okay - I guess you can use the two instrumental ones for karaoke and pretend you are Irene Cara. I am so glad someone made the decision to remaster this CD because the first recording was a total ruin.
Fame Poster
Remastered for the first time since it debuted in 1980! 2003 reissue include three bonus tracks, 'Out Here On My Own' (Instrumental Version), 'Fame' (Instrumental Version), & the previously unreleased, 'Miles From Here'. Rhino.We don't know whether Fame will, like its iconic, Irene Cara-sung title song insists, "live forever." But director Alan Parker's vibrant, ambitious 1980 tale of New York's High School of the Performing Arts has been remarkably influential, spawning a TV series, stage musical, and helping cast the mold--for better or worse--for the decades of pop-song dominated soundtracks that followed in its wake. But the innocent, urgent charms of the original won't be denied, and this release marks the album's first digital remastering, an edition supplemented by three previously unreleased bonus tracks (the wistful ballad "Miles From Here," as well as instrumental versions of the title track and Top 20 Cara hit, "Out Here on My Own," that underscore composer Michael Gore's pop-disco inspirations). --Jerry McCulley
