Comprised of covers of old soundtrack music, The Director's Cut focuses Fantomas's energy through a tighter conceptual funnel than the first album's supposed sonic interpretation of a comic book, forcing them to remain somewhat true to the original scores (hence melodious), while allowing them to continue their tonal experimentation. Admittedly many of the tracks are from movies that few, if any, have seen, or if they have been seen, the soundtrack was surely unimportant (in a cognitive sense) -- the music all seems familiar though, and creepily so. But rather than remaining dead texts, needing the imagery of the film to carry the narrative of the music, to set the mood, and to ultimately validate it, the music comes alive -- this is soundtrack music that needs no movie; this is soundtrack music for a life of horror, and, as such, Fantomas provides dark lives with dark music.
