Amazon.com
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

 How can you possibly go wrong? September 21, 2008
When it comes to Scarface I think it's safe to say that the majority of people who've seen it have seen it more than once. Having said this however, any soundtrack derived from the movie automatically has one hell of a standard to compete with. Scarface The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack not only does this with relative ease but it even offers a huge extra bonus!!!!!! The soundtrack offers every possible song & musical theme found in the movie plus an EXTREMELY REAL flashback of just how #@%*ing crazy & intense the movie really was- & still is for that point-
You see here's the thing, no matter how you go about it, every time the soundtrack is played,,, your basically overloaded (severely)-& reminded vigorously at that, of the journey that we also went on along with yours truly,,, Antonio Montana! Definitely with out question or doubt, the most "out of this planet" soundtrack around! So certain am I of this that I challenge ANYONE to show me otherwise. Most other soundtracks have two or three at most four songs that are derived from the motion picture so you see people,,, "How can you possibly go wrong?"
Be careful though, don't even think of reaching for the Scarface soundtrack, let alone listen to it, if you've been drinking or simply planning something sinister cause you've been warned. This Soundtrack has amazing influence on what you do, again trust me on this! Don't say you weren't told :)))))))
 Where Is The Instrumental Giorgio Moroder Track Over The Opening? July 8, 2008
Over the opening montage is a great Giorgio Moroder Track, never on
any Scarface CD, Any Info?? Also, sorry the updated remixing
doesn't work, They should have kept it like the original soundtrack only remastered!
 Better than expected August 28, 2007
the cd was great better than the remix. If your a true Scarface fan buy this you will be glad you did.

Despite being such a popular film, it tooks years for a proper version of Scarface to appear on DVD and for the soundtrack to appear in print in the USA. Available only as an import, the CD soundtrack was the original 1983 version.
Finally, a USA version of the disc appears, however, be aware that this has been remixed and remastered (apparently by Giorgio Moroder himself). It definitely sounds different, and soundtrack obsessives may prefer the original version (which sounds closer to what you hear in the film). Check the Amazon sound samples for some of the tracks, particularly 'Push It To The Limit' and 'Rush Rush'. Better or worse is for you to decide, but do recognize that the tracks may sound slightly off from what you're used to. If you know the songs from Grand Theft Auto III, I believe those versions were taken from the original (now out of print) version of this soundtrack.
Moroder fans will enjoy the snippets of film score here, not much, but still welcome, as well as his production and that famous Moroder sound on Push It To The Limit (ultimate 80s cheese, but catchy). It's a short disc, but the numbers are catchy for the most part, in a very 1983 way. GTA III gave this new life and exposed a lot of folks to an album that was out of print. That, plus the release of a nice DVD set prompted Moroder and Co to revisit this album and make it available, and cheap, too. Fanatics may want both versions, of course, otherwise, take your pick.
