Lola Rennt

Co-composed by director Tom Tykwer, the idea here is brilliantly simple--the punk-like Lola's pavement pounding needs constant momentum to avoid coming off as Marathon footage. With accelerating beats, and ever-upwardly spiralling chord progressions, we follow actress/song-writer Franka Potente's every footfall. In the booklet you'll find a candidly honest piece of advice: "To re-experience the movie, listen to tracks 2-9. For an alternative experience, listen to the remixes." They are quite abstract developments of the original material, so can either be seen as a bonus or padding (e.g. the original "Casino" takes us the furthest away from club territory, while the remix races right back into it). At breakneck pace this album perfectly captures the experience of seeing the movie while the barrage of techno beats keeps up a rhythmic sprint that'll have you tapping feet if not wanting to run and see the film straight away. --Paul Tonks
