Roland Barkey A Must Have for everyone who likes John Carpenter Soundtracks. I think this is maybe the finest „melodic“ album of Benge up to date.

An imaginary soundtrack for an imaginary world

It has often been said that some books cannot be made into films. But that is not to say that those same books cannot be made into film soundtracks, especially if the book itself never existed in the first place. Well that is the proposition that I set out to create with this trilogy of albums, or unmade film soundtracks, starting here with Zerotheque Tome I

In order to put myself in the correct frame of mind, I selected a limited group of instruments for each album in the series. This first soundtrack was inspired by the science fiction and horror films of the 1970s and 80s, and thus features a suitable gathering of vintage instruments from the period, namely: Moog Modular 3C, Rhodes Chroma, Oberheim Four Voice,Yamaha CS80, Sequential Six Trak, DK Synergy, Ensoniq ESQ-1, Emu Emulator-2, Linn LM-1, Sequential Drumtraks

The remaining albums will each feature a different set of instruments so as to give a unique sonic character to the soundtrack. Zerotheque Tome II will use Japanese synthesisers and drum machines from the 1980s, followed by a selection of British vintage electronic instruments from the 1970s for Tome III

Gorgeous and, dare I say spiritually moving, ethereal work with the legend John Foxx. Suitable for a sleep soundtrack, but not in any way dull. Eve McGivern
