CD (Item 626791) Music Box (France), 1986 — Condition: New Copy

Nobody can write a modern soundtrack like Georges Delerue – and even for a so-so movie like this, he really knocks it out of the park! There's a sense of grace and poise to the music right from the start – not the staid sounds you'd normally find in a mainstream movie, but incredibly thoughtful orchestrations that really have a great sense of balance – never going too over the top, nor overstating their presence – yet really pulling us in because of that subtle action too. Most instrumentation is in the best moody Delerue mode – sometimes with a touch of jazz – and titles include "Alan Au Bar", "La Plage", "Alan", "Bonheur Trompe-L'Oeil", "La Mort De Kleber", and "Feu Dans La Nuit". CD features 6 more previously unreleased bonus tracks too! (Limited to 1000 copies.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
