After the release of the excellent "The Original Soundtrack" (1975), which became their commercial breakthrough, thanks to the hit Im Not In Love, 10CC naturally wanted to build on the success, and "How Dare You" turned out to be..."

"Easy to see why Arcade Fire were inspired by this film while writing the songs for Reflektor. This soundtrack is mesmerizing, perfectly weaving in with the film, an incredible expression of the Greek myth/legend that inspired more operas than any other." Reply
