More strange and wonderful songs found on (or rediscovered because of) assorted soundtracks. As with the previous installment, the cover art is taken from CIndy Sherman's film stills series.

Great stuff. The movies do have a way of getting you to pay attention to a song differently. I really liked the way they used Heart of the Sunrise in Buffalo 66. If I hadn't seen the movie I would have thought of that as an odd choice but it worked amazingly well. Also, I read a review of sorts about Lost in Traslation (of course I can't remember where or who wrote it) but it said that the soundtrack conveyed the thoughts the main characters didn't express outwardly. Interesting idea but I haven't watched it again to see if that's the case. Anyway, great series. Are there more on the way?
