Soundtrack album by Angelo Badalamenti for the French film "La cité des enfants perdus" by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro - a film featuring Dominique Pinon, Ron Perlman, and Jean-Claude Dreyfus. The total running time of the album just excedes 52 minutes.
The soundtrack has a bit of the same uneasy vibe as you'll find on the "Soundtrack from Twin Peaks" (the TV-series) from 1990 as well as Badalamenti's soundtrack for "Blue Velvet" (OST); however, the style is more orchestrated both displaying elements from a popular French culture as well as more string-based arrangements. The soundtrack works splendid in the film but appears a bit weaker on its own.
