The Octopus
La Piovra 2: La morale (Main Theme) – Ennio Morricone
Two words — Ennio Morricone. It would be entirely presumptuous of me to even entertain the notion I have anything remotely insightful to say on this genius’s work. Just listen.
The Fourth Man
Lmj Theme – Niclas Frisk
Swedish musician and composer Niclas Frisk delivers a perfectly tense and taut theme for Rolf Lassgård’s character Lars Martin Johansson (LMJ for short) in Swedish thriller The Fourth Man.
Mammon
River – Ibeyi
Ibeyi is a band made up of two French-Cuban twin sisters, Lisa-Kaindé Díaz and Naomi Díaz. They often sing in the West African language of Yoruba. Some of which you can hear at the end of this track, River, taken from their debut album from 2014.
Turkish for Beginners
Gegen Den Rest. – Karpatenhund
From the opening title sequence of German comedy Turkish for Beginners, German indie pop band Karpatenhund’s (Carpathian Dog) song Gegen Den Rest. sounds as if it could be sung by the series’s teenage main character Lena (Josefine Preuß). In fact, Karpatenhund’s singer Claire Oelkers resembles Josefine! (click pic above).
Crime Scene Cleaner
Sexy Maserati – Babyman
Babyman’s Sexy Maserati plays an integral role in Season 3, episode 5 of Crime Scene Cleaner. “I did everything to that song. Danced, cried, screwed. Everything!”
Inspector Coliandro
The Winner – Pivio & Aldo De Scalzi
OK, OK, this is supposed be “Top 25” but the theme to Inspector Coliandro by Pivio & Aldo De Scalzi gets an honorable mention because its wanna-be-bond-theme fits our man Coliandro perfectly. Like a shark skin suit and drug store cologne.
