A Six-track CD single where only TWO of the tracks are good The soundtrack to that less-than-stellar movie was, however, quite good. In late 1998, "A Night At the Roxbury" was released to theaters, where it quite properly faded away. Nearly every track was fun, well-produced, and made you want to get up and dance (or at the very least tap your feet to the beat). One of the tracks on that soundtrack was a new dance cover of "Disco Inferno", this time rendered by the venerable Cyndi Lauper. In recent years, and most exquisitely on her "Sisters of Avalon" album, Cyndi's vocals have shown some massive maturity. Whilst already strong and growing back in the eighties, with such hits as "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time", in the 90's she has really come into her own. However, it *is* necessary to have the proper production to back her up. This CD single does not provide such production. The soundtrack version of "Disco Inferno" is short, tight, and simply great. For the CD single (released later in 1999), Soul Solution (the original producers of the soundtrack version) have tinkered around, and dramatically reduced the energy-impact of the song. Their two mixes on the single (club & radio) are good, but not as good as the soundtrack version. Then, we have the remaining four tracks which, unfortunately, aren't very good at all. The structure of the song is totally lost, and most of them end up being very poor 'dubs' (tracks which feature very few vocals). So, if you are looking to get this Cyndi Lauper track, I recommend the soundtrack to "Night at the Roxbury" over this single. You'll come away much happier. Diva Inferno Soul Solution did an outstanding job with this production and Cyndi's voice has never sounded so powerful. "Disco Inferno" is one of Cyndi's best dance track to date. It's impossible not to resist to this infectious Hands-in-the-air club anthem. The only bad point of this single is that the Plasmic honey and Boris & Beck mixes aren't really good, way too fast, and don't respect Cyndi's vocal. But there are 4 different mixes from Soul Solution and they all rock. Almost Perfect She always adds a little fire, spunk and above all voice to whatever she touches. Cyndi Lauper is one of the few unique voices left to us in the world. I was a little disappointed with the remixes though as they tend to be bit. . . Well, the original version on the "A Night At The Roxbury" soundtrack was better. Cyndi rocks! BUY THIS SINGLE! Cyndi's the best voice in modern music today! While some of the remixes are a little bland, the original is superb! This girl can bust a tune! If you like REAL music, turn off the stupid radio and BUY THIS SINGLE!. Great singer and great voice!!!! She is the best voice in the pop music. Damn Cindy is back and I love her delicious hit "Disco Inferno". Buy this CD single because is great. Here in Italy we love it. Burn babe burn. You can see a complete list of all Cyndi Lauper discography, or go back to the Cyndi Lauper tabs
