Marc Collin is the man behind Nouvelle Vague, the Parisian composer who single-handedly changed the way we thought about Depeche Mode and Visage by daringly rearranging their songs with bossa nova beats and sultry chanteuses.

He has now taken a very different ambition: to change the way we feel about 1980's film soundtracks.

From Eye Of The Tiger to Flashdance (What A Feeling) - Hollywood, Mon Amour strips away the dated bombast and overblown synthesizers, the shoulder pads and eyeliner, to amazingly reveal songs underneath that you could never imagine existed.

Some of the coolest young female singers were queuing up to work with Collin including superstar to be Yael Naim, Skye previously from Morcheeba, Brazilian hipster Cibelle and appropriately Hollywood's own rock chick, Juliette Lewis.
