Various - The Phoenician Scheme Original Soundtrack (Seafoam Vinyl) Vinyl LP

Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme features a rich and evocative soundtrack that perfectly complements the film’s stylized vision and international cast. The album combines Alexandre Desplat’s sweeping original score with selections from classical masters like Stravinsky, Bach, and Beethoven, alongside jazz gems from Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, and a newly recorded piece by the Fuasi Abdul-Khaliq Sextet. Desplat’s compositions pay homage to early 20th-century classical traditions, with cues referencing Stravinsky’s L’Oiseau de feu (The Firebird), while standout jazz tracks such as “Drum Boogie,” “A String of Pearls,” and the film-exclusive “Mud Bug” add vibrant contrast. The soundtrack offers a cinematic listening experience that mirrors the film’s distinctive style.
