The first disc is dedicated to Raymond Alessandrini with three of his scores and features a delightful assortment of symphonic and jazzy compositions bolstered by catchy melodies and rich orchestration. The second disc focuses on a couple of electropop scores from legendary sexploitation films of the '80s, both composed by François Valéry, a French singer-songwriter who distinguished himself on the one hand in pop songs but also in film music. The third disc also highlights the romantic spirit of this box set with traditional folk music and typical pop sonorities of the 1970s.
