What do you listen to when you're writing a film about a doomed wireless operator running around Nazi-occupied Paris?

Why, The Last Broadcast by Doves, of course ;)

No, seriously, it's a great record.  I've owned it for years, but I'm just now warming to it.  While songs like "Words" and "Pounding" are rock solid pop songs in the vein of Ride, it's the short, orchestral-ambient bits that inform the proceedings with a sense of cinematic grandeur and rough-hewn beauty.

The perfect suite is the simple, folksy "M62 Song" fading into the astral "Where We're Calling From" exploding into the hallucinatory "N.Y."

Check it.
