Awesome CD! Not some cheesy Yamaha keyboard interpretation of the theme. It's nearly exactly what you hear on the show, with a stronger drum beat and stronger bass line thrown in, as well as a few sound effects from the show (i.e. "out of time" sound, "onto the next question, blue lights go down" sound, last bit of the "here comes the fastest finger question" sound, etc.). The club mix is simply an extended version of the radio mix. But I'll bet this release will inspire other club remixers to have their way with the song. The Chris Tennant version is nearly identical to the radio mix, with some of his spoken vocals thrown in ("is that your final answer," "you could take the 50/50," "you could ask the audience," "are you sure," etc.). Will there be a U.S. release soon with Regis vocals? The English know how to do it the right way. This CD is a must have! Great for listening in your car while speeding down perilous, dangerous roads!

It has been a long time since a piece of music got under my skin like the 3 tracks on this single did! Not only do you have the suspenseful and intense feeling that the theme provides, the hot beat put along with it just takes you away! You should see the looks I get while stopped at a busy intersection while playing this CD in the car. This CD is a must-have for fans of the show!

If you already have the British WWTBAM soundtrack, then you're basically paying $ for one song. This is the Chris Tarrant Mix. It's a good mix, and well worth the money, but the CD otherwise repeats the two remixes at the end of the British soundtrack. Still worth it, though, if you really love Millionaire.

While ABC and Walt Disney Records put together a cheap compilation album of songs about money as the U.S. "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" soundtrack, leave it to the show's originators, Celador Productions, to give the real deal. However, this single dance remix of the show's theme, entitled "Is That Your Final Answer?" (what else?), has its own wonderful pleasures--and it's guaranteed to give you a boost when you need it, either in the radio mix, the club mix, or (on this single only) the "Chris Tarrant Mix" (in which the voice of original host Chris Tarrant says those famous words, gives suggestions for lifelines, and uses the line Regis doesn't have an equivalent for--"You have 32,000 pounds--but we don't want you to win that!"). Get this now (and while you're at it, get the import of the full soundtrack--if you're a game show fan, it's essential!).

This has all the elements of the TV show music in a dance track! It's punchy, exciting and fun. Apparently it was made in conjunction with the producers and composers (Keith & Matthew Strachan) from the show and it sounds spot on. It has some of the sounds from the TV version like "time's up" and "explain the rules". It's even got a track with vocals from the original UK host Chris Tarrant. Perfect summer stuff. Roll down your car roof and ride!
