I was watching YIJC Demons of Deception last night and I liked the Indian Sitar music during the Mata Hari seduction scene. So I ripped the audio and converted it to an MP3. There is a little bit of background noise, but overall its very good quality. Enjoy!

I just made up the title I thought it fit the context of the scene.
Thanks very much for sharing, Dameain! It's a welcome addition to our collection of unreleased stuff.
I love Indian music and this is a good track. Sitar is such a fascinating instrument and playing one is a cathartic experience.
Re. your "Seduction" title: On his website spreadsheet, InexorableTash called this one, "
Intoxicating Sex"! (Which title do people prefer?
Personally, I like Tash's title.)

Does anyone know the name of the main opera segment by Puccini that is performed in Perils of Cupid? I heard a great version of it on the radio the other day and wanted to track it down. Is it Madame Butterfly?? Thx!
Hi, Halfcup. It's actually, "La Bohème" - a medley of it with 2 segments from the 1st act and one from the final act. (Time to make another home-made medley track like I did with, "Scheherazade"!
) Rosenthal incorportated several cues from, "La Bohème", into his compostions for the "Florence" chapter. I'm updating Tash's spreadsheet because this episode hasn't been tackled yet.
That said, a tiny portion of the final act of, "Madame Butterfly", is indeed featured later, during the rehearsal scene (with the Japanese woman & red-haired kid onstage).

P.S. I'm back from visiting some World War I sites in France & Belgium. Earlier today, I finally managed to meet up with our fellow, Young Indy Soundtrack enthusiast,
Fommes! We had a wonderful time talking about all sorts of things while eating Belgian food & drinking Belgian beers.
