One of the aspects we enjoy most about putting out music (...the only aspect?) is learning about all the varied uses filmmakers have found for our tunes over recent years. This new collection features 21 tunes perfect for your next production, from bombastic title music to quirky idents, break bumpers, and suspense-laden incidentals. Otherwise, let these toe-tappers become your own personal soundtracks through your day. As personally approved by Stanley Kubrick!
Lyric fans, don't worry: we'll be back with another album of protest songs when the collective depression lightens long enough to press "record" and sing about how terribly messed up everything and everyone is (apart from you, you're alright). Meanwhile, why not join a community choir?
The tunes here include some very new pieces (even recorded within the last week), and other bits from almost a decade ago. Some of the incidentals are rescued from our comedy film, "Johnny Cocktail: Obscured By Masks". Listen to Luke's exciting cosmic mellifluity on "The Fractured Flute Of Time", and Bob's effusive melodies on "Japanese Brain Buzz". You may enjoy my music hall singalong, "Play For Your People", originally composed as a song for the CONIFA alternative World Cup and perhaps best without the lyrics.
IMPORTANT TITLING NOTE! When we uploaded this album to our usual distributor in order to reach the major streaming sites, it was initially rejected as the helpful genre suggestions in the titles were seen as too leading. Harrumph. This was after we’d already released the album on the free sites. Reluctantly, we updated 12 of the bracketed sections of the titles in order to make them compliant with the streaming site policies. So, some of the songs are floating around on the internet with two titles, both of which are technically correct. Use whichever you prefer.
Anyway, catch you soon, or vice versa. Stay in touch while we're all around,
A x
