The DVD and 20th anniversary theatrical reissue of Brian DePalma's revisionist remake of the 30's film noir crime drama Scarface was treated to the release of a gangsta-rap "tribute" soundtrack that underscored the film's enduring, if ultra-violent legacy. But the film's original song-score remains its true musical soul, a pop-culture artifact that still echoes its era and locale with a feverish '80s dancebeat aura.
This new edition has been personally digitally remastered by the score's original composer/producer, Eurodisco king Giorgio Moroder, who burnishes its electrobeat-driven performances with loving care. And while Paul Engemann's title track and other performances can't help but sound a bit dated and kitsch-centric, other performances (like Debbie Harry's slinky "Rush Rush") show how much the era has influenced bands like No Doubt; a cultural wheel turned full circle. --Jerry McCulley
