Schizophrenic mix that starts with jazz and European cinema music, but veers into weird touches such as occasional harpsichord, hip-hop instruments (scratches, drum machine), or unidentified noise rumbles.

Overall it's quite catchy and fun. Highly recommended.

1- Slow atmospheric overture
2- Slow, chamber-like. Moves into mischevious swing, w/clarinet.
3*- Midtempo, cool feel, bright
4- Mid/fast, tense, w/long slow sax lead
5- Slow beat, into fast bright horn solos
6- Cool funky step! w/loud guitar. Starts sparse and abstract.
7- Wacky, including drum machine
8*- Upbeat jazz; convoluted fast riffs. With harpsichord.
9*- Guitar blast, then fast disjointed jazz
10- All-harpsichord rereading of track 8
11- Slow melancholy symphonic bit, then upbeat crisp jazz
12*- Playful, with swingy feel
13- See 10
14- Fast wacky harpsichord improv
15- Crunchy noise, then faint harpsichord.
16- Slow Latin jazz(!) after chamber intro
