MONA MUR IN CONVERSATION - MOVIE SOUNDTRACK
The soundtrack features a collection of Mona Mur's music spanning her career. It includes previously unreleased live recordings and tracks from various albums and projects. The soundtrack offers a comprehensive overview of her musical journey, from her early post-punk and industrial work to her more recent collaborations and film scores:
- Live recordings: Tracks from concerts in Berlin, Hamburg, and Chicago, including previously unreleased versions of songs like "Die Ballade vom ertrunkenen Mädchen," "Yesterdays," and "Surabaya Johnny".
- Studio recordings: Songs from albums like "Jeszcze Polska," "Mona Mur," and "Warsaw," including "The Man On The Satellite".

- Early works: "Jeszcze Polska" and "Ein bisschen Frieden" from her 1982 album.
- Later works: "You, Me - and Berlin" from "Those Days Are Over," and "Motorboy" from "Delinquent".
The film itself, directed by Dietmar Post, is a documentary that includes Mona Mur discussing her career and watching footage with the filmmaker, creating an "open-ended experiment". The soundtrack serves as a companion to the film, providing a deeper insight into Mona Mur's musical evolution and artistic vision.
Born in Hamburg, Mona Mur emerged from the German underground of the early 1980s, blending post-punk, industrial, and electronic music with a bold pop sensibility. Collaborating with artists like FM Einheit, Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten), Dieter Meier (Yello), and The Stranglers' J.J. Burnel, she crafted a distinctive sound. Beyond music, she has worked in film and game composition.
