They’re designed to really freak people out.”Ībels featured a 30 person choir, a third of them children, in the “Anthem,” and implemented Eastern European instruments, violins, percussion and a virtual instrument called a Propanium drum.

It will also come with a limited edition art print. The album also features songs from the film, including a new version of Corey Hart’s classic “Sunglasses at Night (Jean Jacket Mix),” Dionne Warwick’s “Walk on By,” The Lost Generation’s “This is the Lost Generation,” Exuma’s “Exuma, the Obeah Man,” and a never-before-released gem by a young Jodie Foster, “La Vie C’est Chouette” from the 1977 film Moi, Fleur Bleue.
