This rare glimpse into the genius of Mike Figgis is beyond words, nothing can describe what you will hear in the next seventy-three minutes - "Figgis On Figgis", compiled on this album is the retrospective of eight Figgis scores.

Musical highlights from "STORMY MONDAY", "LIEBESTRAUM", "ONE NIGHT STAND", "LOSS OF SEXUAL INNOCENCE", "MISS JULIE", "TIME CODE"..."INTERNAL AFFAIRS" - as Hollywood beckoned the services of Figgis for the new Richard Gere film, the score which has never before been released to the public is classic Jazz at its finest..."LEAVING LAS VEGAS" gaining international stardom, and receiving four Academy Award nominations for the film, two for Best Director and Best Writer, not to shabby for a kid from Carlisle, England who began playing trumpet and guitar for various local rock and roll bands as a teenager.

Milan Records and Mike Figgis create the ultimate anthology for this one-of-a-kind composer which follows his unique career. From Jazzy trumpet to mournful strings, demonstrates the ease at which Figgis can transcend genres to evoke the appropriate mood...and so my "film-score-buffs" read my lips...this is one not to be missed!

Total Time: 73:12 on 23 Tracks...Milan Records 35920...(2001)

Replongez-vous avec délice dans l'ambiance si particulière des films de Mike Figgis. Chaque composition vaut son pesant d'or. Ambiances étherées, voix fantômatiques, percussions limpides et cuivres esseulés... splendide !
