IMAGINARY (AND REAL) SOUNDTRACKS

Two items of interest today... first, a track from the forthcoming album by Geoff Barrow (Portishead) and Ben Salisbury (BBC) on Invada. Drokk: Music Inspired By Mega City One is exactly as its title suggests - a collection of pieces composed in tribute to Judge Dredd's home turf. And it's a bit good...

Second, here's an honest-to-goodness, actual, genuine soundtrack, composed by Francisca Goncalves for Goncalo Nuno de Souza's horror film 75CL. On hearing these tracks I instantly got in touch with an invitation to play a future edition of The Outer Church, so stay tuned for further announcements. Here's what Goncalves says about the score: 

"In early conversations with Gonçalo we discussed my appreciation of 70s/80s horror soundtracks and picked as references Wendy Carlos and early John Carpenter films. We both agreed that it would make sense for the film to have some synth based pieces that would suit the Zombie Film aesthetic as well as a few ‘traditional’ pieces to go along with the more dramatic ‘human’ scenes . It was a challenge but I think that all in all we managed to create a good balance and the feedback has been positive."
