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. We're 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... it's hard to pick out highlights as there genuinely isn't a bad track on here. The Max Richter / Dinah Washington track alone - an incredible mix of Washington's vocals from 'This Bitter Earth' and Richter's incredible composition 'On The Nature of Daylight' - is one of the best things you'll 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 throw in a selection of incredible French pop and you have one of the best soundtracks/comps of 2016. Sheila - Bang Bang, Lykke LI - Jerome, Rocky ; the Riddlers - Flash and Crash, Serge Gainsbourg - Comic Strip, Al Wilson - the Snake, Venus Gang - Love to Fly, The Velvet Underground - I'm Set Free, Mike Brant - C'est Comme Ça Que Je T'aime, Yeyevollegaz - Ces Bottes Sont Faites Pour Marcher, Guillaume Roussel - la Pieuvre, Blondie - Call Me, Kim Wilde - Cambodia, Dinah Washington / Max Richter - This Bitter Earth / on the Nature of Daylight, Townes Van Zandt - Waitin' Around to Die
