Release of the delicately haunting and sacred score to Jaromil Jires' essential
Eastern European hallucinogenic-baroque-witch-flick 'Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders'.
Lubos Fiser provides what is perhaps the greatest musical score of all the maligned Czech New Wave feature-films
with a gossamer-fragile blend of pastoral-orchestral folk songs and clockwork harpsichords.
From the very first delicate chord to the final crescendo this joyous sound is as addictive
as the bizarre imagery seen in this seldom celebrated cinematic gem.
Naturally the list of musical pioneers who freely confess their allegiance to the score
verifies it's elevated place in contemporary pop. Birmingham's dedicated concrete-pop-psych combo Broadcast
recently paid homage to the soundtrack on their 'Ha-Ha Sound' LP while groups such as Espers, Fursaxa and Marissa Nadler recently contributed to a live performance of the soundtrack as a homage to its unwaning influence on their music.
Echoes of the score can also be heard in recent music by Vashti Bunyen and it has been cited as a huge influence
to the likes of Tim Burton who based the carnival scene at the end of 'Big Fish' on the original film.
Previously unprepared for public consumption the immaculate release has been compiled in close accordance
to the original storyline which was released in 1935 as a surrealist novel by Vladislav Nezval.
The orchestral suites of music have been separated into 23 chapters with titles derived from the controversial novella.
