>> Released in conjunction with The Andy Warhol Museum, 13 Most
>> Beautiful...Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests features 13 of

>> Between 1964 and 1966, Andy Warhol shot nearly 500 Screen Tests,
>> beautiful and revealing portraits of hundreds of different
>> individuals, from the famous to the anonymous, all visitors to his
>> studio, the Factory. Subjects were captured in stark relief by a
>> strong keylight, and filmed by Warhol with his stationary 16mm Bolex
>> camera on silent, black and white, 100-foot rolls of film. The
>> resulting two-and-a-half-minute film reels were then screened in slow
>> motion, resulting in a fascinating collection of four minute
>> masterpieces that startle and entrance, mesmerizing in the purest
>> sense of the word.

>> Luna and currently recording as Dean & Britta, incorporated original
>> compositions as well as cover songs to create new soundtracks for the
