LIMITED EDITION includes enhanced CD + Queer Eye For The Straight Guy book excerpt & EXCLUSIVE DVD DVD CONTENT:- Music tips and picks from the Fab 5 - South Park Fab 5 - Kylie Minogue "Slow" video - Widelife "All Things" video - Making of the Widelife "All Things" video with Fab 5 - Photo Montage with 50 shots of the Fab 5
Bravo Channel's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a huge hit, and that means it's time for the inevitable soundtrack. Featuring remixes and dance tracks selected by the show's "Fab 5" stars, it's a pretty sweet batch, with some unexpected surprises amid the usual hands-in-the-air house anthems. Beginning, of course, with Widelife (featuring Simone Denny) performing the show's theme song, "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)," the mix stays energetic with ubiquitous dance floor hits like Junior Senior's "Move Your Feet." The first surprise comes courtesy of the Chemical Brothers, adding severe thump to Kylie Minogue's already addictive "Slow." But that's just a warm-up for the record's wackiest combo as producer Barry Harris wires Fischerspooner and Billy Squier together for an opposites-attract masterpiece. Elsewhere, Liz Phair and Elton John provide more acoustic touches, while brief snippets of dialogue from the Queer Guys themselves add bits of their now-familiar fey humor and urban insights. --Matthew Cooke

Both the show and the soundtrack keep in pace with each other, they are fast-paced, humorous, and energetic. One could listen to this CD at least a million times and be intoxicated with one song for each sitting. I personally love "Never Coming Home" by Sting and "Sunrise" by Duran Duran. It's only fitting for a devoted QE4theStr8Guy fan like myself to buy the CD, and personally I'm not dissapointed...despite the fact I did not have the chance to buy the limited edition album. I really love the music video! Dance Jai, Dance!

I bought this CD for only one song... Duran Duran's "Sunrise - remix", the first new track from the original "Fab Five" in almost 20 years. That alone is worth having the disc. And yes, the TV show is hilarious too! So go get a patch of "Sunrise" and play it back to back with Sting's remix of "Send Your Love"...

This is a killer collection of songs.
Look at the track listing. You will probably know and/or like at least one act listed there.
If you do, then I guarantee you that you will find a new song to love. You will discover another act. You will seek out their own CDs.
That is probably the highest praise one can give a compilation disc.
The title song is enjoyable fluff, "Move Your Feet" is insanely catchy, the new Duran Duran tune is great for us old DD fans.
I was already fond of the OK Go and Liz Phair songs...
Nice vintage Elton John track too.
The rest are interesting as well. My only disappointment is in the lackluster Sting remix. So, if any of these tunes pique your interest, several others will as well.

This is a great colleciton of music for both fans of the TV show and for music lovers. It contains some great dance mixes including the theme song "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)" by Widelife with Simone Denny, "You Promised Me" by InGrid, "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior, "Good Luck" by Basement Jaxx featuring Lisa Kekaula, and a great song titled "Everybody Want You To Emerge" by Fischerspooner vs. Billy Squier. And, there's more than just dance mixes. They've included "Extraordinary" by Liz Phair, "Superstar" by Jamelia (pop/R&B), Sting, OK Go, Kylie Minogue, Prophet Omega, Elton John, and a new song from the original line up of Duran Duran. The DVD that comes with the limited edition is equally good with a mini-making of for the video to "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)," the video for Kylie Minogue's "Slow" and a dance video remix of Sting's "Send Your Love." A great music collection for everyone!!
