Woods Of Birnam – 'Du Bist Alles' (from Babylon Berlin soundtrack Vol. II)
The astonishing visual and dramatic scope of German television drama serial Babylon Berlin is illuminated by violent metallic scoring in keeping with the more fantastic excesses of the plot and cabaret music from the late 20s, along with lovely adaptations of Bryan Ferry songs in period style. The dance sequences are like Busby Berkeley at a rave but my favourite musical moment came with the third series and this exquisite and touching ballad of dedication, 'Du Mist Alles' by Woods Of Birnham.
