Babylon Berlin (music From The Original Tv Series) (Vinyl)

Triple vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve + two CDs. Babylon Berlin is the ingenious soundtrack of the outstanding and highly acclaimed TV series. The soundtrack works as an impressive musical accompaniment to the striking pictures of the series. While scores commonly evoke emotions, this series' score is pre-eminently an accentual element of the series' perception and the sonic reflection of the sensual delight that is Babylon Berlin. The score's composers are renowned German movie-director Tom Tykwer, one of the series' three directors, and Los Angeles-based Johnny Klimek. The two music buffs had previously created the award-winning and highly acclaimed soundtracks for Run Lola Run and Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer. Performed by the Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and New York's electro-acoustic chamber-band Absolute Ensemble, Babylon Berlin's score is a sensual enjoyment, concurrently challenging and emotionally intense. The second part features songs used for various of the series' scenes.
