CommentFrom yolatengo.com:

...the entire score written and performed by the band to accompany eight legendary but rarely-seen undersea documentary shorts by influential French avant-garde filmmaker Jean Painleve. Yo La Tengo's score, originally debuted on stage at the San Francisco Film Festival in April 2001 with the band providing live accompaniment to the films, echoes the films' haunting surrealist imagery, yet the music is equally evocative on its own, from the dreamy soundscapes of ?Sea Urchins? and ?How Some Jellyfish Are Born? to the harsher, more dissonant moods of ?Liquid Crystals?and ?The Love Life of The Octopus?.
