The Connection

Description

Known to some as La French, the epic crime drama The Connection is the critically acclaimed and stylish 70s-period crime thriller inspired by true events. Were absolutely thrilled to be releasing this absolute beast of a soundtrack; the ultimate cool compilation spanning four decades and featuring classic songs by The Velvet Underground, Blondie, Townes Van Zandt its hard to pick out highlights as there genuinely isnt a bad track on here. The Max Richter / Dinah Washington track alone an incredible mix of Washingtons vocals from This Bitter Earth and Richters incredible composition On The Nature of Daylight is one of the best things youll hear this year. Lykke Li contributes Jerome, a fantastic 60s tinged pop song that sounds like a lost Phil Spector composition. On top of all that, add in a selection of incredible French pop imagine if Starlords Awesome Mix: Volume 1 had a European counterpart, it would be this album.
