Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind (2004)

When their relationship turns sour, a couple undergoes a procedure to have each other erased from their memories. But it is only through the process of loss that they discover what they had to begin with.

The soundtrack album for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was released by Hollywood Records on March 16, 2004. It features the score, composed by Los Angeles musician Jon Brion, as well as songs from artists E.L.O., The Polyphonic Spree, The Willowz, and Don Nelson. Beck, in a collaboration with Jon Brion, provides a cover version of the Korgis' "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime". Many of the vocal songs either revolve around memories or the sun.

Producer, all-purpose studio musician, arranger, songwriter, and film composer Jon Brion has been a high-profile behind-the-scenes fixture on the Los Angeles music scene since the mid-'90s. After playing in bands in home state of Connecticut, then Boston in the late '80s (including touring with Aimee Mann's group 'Til Tuesday), he became an in-demand session musician and producer on the West Coast.
