Reviews:

"Another key Crépuscule release reissued by LTM, this compilation finds a number of the label's key acts taking on their favourite cinematic and televisual soundtracking moments, beginning with Tuxedomoon's Blaine L. Reininger taking on Georges Delarue's classic 'Le Mepris' from the film of the same name. It's a fine rendering of the piece, drenched in the all-encompassing reverb effects you'd expect from an early eighties recording (the compilation was commissioned in 83/84). The Pale Fountains come up with a decent rendering of 'We Have All The Time In The World', while Cosy Corner's way, way out of tune rendering of 'You Only Live Twice' is novel if nothing else. The whole album is ace, but highlights come from Paul Haig's electronic take on the theme from The Persuaders and Virna Lindt's slightly camp version of 'The Windmills Of Your Mind'. Highly Recommended" (Boomkat, 04/2008)
