La Femme Nikita (French pronunciation: [la fam nikita], "The Woman Nikita"; called Nikita in Canada) is a Canadian action/drama television series based on the French film Nikita by Luc Besson. The series was co-produced by Jay Firestone of Fireworks Entertainment and Warner Bros.. It was adapted for television by Joel Surnow. The series was first telecast in North America on the USA Network cable channel on January 13, 1997, and ran for five television seasons—until March 2001. The series was also aired in Canada on the over-the-air CTV Television Network. La Femme Nikita was the highest-rated drama on American basic cable during its first two seasons. It was also distributed in some other countries, and it continues to have a strong cult following.
An official soundtrack, released in June 1998, is still available on CD from TVT Records. It features the title theme from composer Mark Snow, as well as numerous songs heard during the first two seasons of the show from artists like Depeche Mode and Afro Celt Sound System. A "promotional release" in a limited run of 2000 CDs of Emmy-award winning composer Sean Callery's selections from his orchestral score for Nikita was first made available by Callery during the Close Quarters Standby 4 fan convention in May 2001. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Femme Nikita earned a cult following as a French film, was a disaster as an American remake titled Point of New Return and then appeared in its (presumably) final incarnation as a cult television show for the cable network, USA. The television show turned out to be a much bigger success than anyone imagined, which meant the appearance of a soundtrack was inevitable. Fortunately, the resulting disc is actually quite enjoyable. Like many late '90s soundtracks, La Femme Nikita's foundation is electronica, particularly trip-hop, balanced by moody alternative pop. The blend of the two genres is quite alluring, even if some of the cuts are a little bland. Nevertheless, cuts by Mono, Morcheeba, Depeche Mode, Curve, Fluke, Gus Gus, Morphine and DJ Keoki, as well as Mark Snow's theme, makes the record worthwhile. Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
