Giorgio Moroder (‘American Gigolo’, ‘Flashdance’) was hired to perform his usual synth/pop magic for Brian De Palma’s stylish gangster flick starring Al Pacino, as a Cuban refugee turned drug kingpin. The soundtrack may be dated and suffer from a couple of dud songs; particularly bad is ‘I’m Hot Tonight’, one of two by Elizabeth Daly; but the punchy main theme ‘Scarface (Push It To The Limit)’ sets the tone for a generally adrenaline-fuelled series of power pop numbers that really deliver, while capturing some of the film’s drug-fuelled energy. A couple of Moroder’s instrumental cues are also included but this is essentially an album that plays to the masses with a fair amount of gaudy style and bucket loads of 1980s attitude.
