www.vividgroovy.com A music video tribute to David Bowie's song "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" The song is from the 1982 remake of the film "Cat People", but this video has nothing to do with that, or the 1942 original. The song was also featured (brilliantly) in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" (2009) Since this video was made before that, it doesn't relate to that either Bowie wrote the lyrics - the music is by Giorgio Moroder. The video follows general themes of Desire, Longing and Fear. It features numerous characters of mine - many of whom do happen to be felines :) - but the "main character" of the video is Cohaas the dracophoenix, from my fantasy graphic novel concept "Escapia". Here's a description of the character: animagusurreal.deviantart.com "The big guy is Cohaas, the only known dracophoenix (dragon-phoenix hybrid) in the kingdom of Quintessentia. He's hovering near the Zoho Bridge, the artistic district of the capital city of Paromdon. Balodyquil, aka Ballad Quill, the gryphon musician, and his human friend/musical partner Sondrew Hayne (both residents of Zoho) are trying to dissuade him from doing any damage by using music to 'soothe the savage beast.' Cohaas isn't actually the malevolent type, but he is a bit embittered. It's believed that when mature, he will be the most powerful (and potentially destructive) creature in Quintessentia, so he's been slayed several times before he reaches maturity, only to be reborn, in the manner of phoenixes <b>...</b>

The level on the mix is generally soft on this region 2 DVD six-track Dolby mix Im looking into ways to improving the playback of this film as I pay close attention to sound! The dialogue sounds like most of its production with occasional ADR. The weakest link I think is the overall loudness or it might well be intentional for this film of this era or the wishes of the director? What I dont want to do is mess-up the level settings on the DCX2496 thats mostly controlling the balance of matching JBL LCR LF/HF B-chain. I might just have to go over some loud and extremely loud to soft to so, so soft to mid level soundtracks and see if I cant establish a middle ground for all as I want to maintain an optimum 85db max level even when its loud effects I like to keep some dialogue loud passages at 80db to 82db.

"Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" is a song by David Bowie, the title song of the 1982 film Cat People. It was written by Bowie with producer Giorgio Moroder. A re-recorded version of the song appears on the album Let's Dance. In 2009, the original version of the song was used for the soundtrack of the film Inglourious Basterds.
History
Schrader engaged Bowie for a theme song in 1981, with Moroder having already recorded most of the music. Bowie was to put lyrics to the main theme. The words only had a basic relation to the film. The B-side is a Moroder-only instrumental which featured no input from Bowie.The song itself, in keeping with the dark tone of the film, has some slight goth rock influences, with Bowie singing in a deep baritone croon while being backed up by a female chorus, a combination that The Sisters of Mercy would commonly employ years later.
Because of Moroder's contract, the single was issued by MCA. The full-length version appeared on the soundtrack album, and the 12" single, while a 4:08 edited version was made for the 7" release. The single reached #26 in the UK, and #67 in the US - Bowie's biggest hit there since "Golden Years". It peaked at #1 in New Zealand, remaining there for three weeks, as well as in Sweden for four weeks. It was also #1 in Norway for seven consecutive weeks, and then returned to the top for a further week.
The single was released three separate times by MCA. First with "Cat People" as the A-side, then again two months later with "Paul's Theme" as the A-side, and finally in November 1982 with "Cat People" back on the A-side. Notable contribution as orchestrator was made by Hungarian-born composer, Sylvester Levay.
In 1983, Bowie re-recorded the song for his album Let's Dance. This version was also released as the B-side to the title track's single release, and performed on Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour. He had originally planned on using the original version of the song, but MCA Records refused to license it, as Moroder was under contract to them at the time, and they were not about to let a competing label--EMI America--to use a song by one of its artists on their project.
In 2009, the track was used in another film, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
Sharleen Spiteri recorded a new version of the song in 2010 which was included on her album The Movie Songbook.
