With major film and TV credits to his name, the musical legacy of Klaus Harmony continues. The latest release is just as cheesy as Oeuvres one to four, with the usual array of comical track titles such as GIRL SCOUTS SEQUENZ #3 and CREAM THE OINK!

Two Klaus Harmony tracks are to be featured in the forthcoming BBC2 drama, MONEY.

Nick Frost (HOT FUZZ, SEAN OF THE DEAD, SPACED), Vincent Kartheiser (MAD MEN, ANGEL), Emma Pierson (LITTLE DORRIT, HOTEL BABYLON) and Jerry Hall (CALENDAR GIRLS, POPETOWN) have been announced to star in MONEY, a BBC Drama Production two-part adaptation of Martin Amis' darkly comedic tale of excess, greed and flawed ambition set at the beginnings of Eighties capitalism.

Bold, irreverent and satirical, MONEY follows the story of John Self (Nick Frost), a successful British director of commercials who is thrust into the world of New York movie deals, shark agents and impossibly petulant actors in order to shoot his first film.

'stylish and well acted'

A Klaus Harmony track is to be featured in the forthcoming motion picture EXTRACT, starring Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck and Mila Kunis.

Mike Judge's comedy about a flower-extract plant owner contending with an ever-growing avalanche of personal and professional disasters. An employee at the factory has just suffered an unfortunate accident on the assembly line, but little does the put-upon owner realize that things are about to get much worse. As the injured employee threatens to sue and it begins to look like his company will be bought out, the frazzled owner attempts to catch the culprit responsible for stealing wallets from the coat room and begins to suspect that his wife is sleeping with the gigolo he hired to seduce her.
