Though this disc was released in 2014, this long-forgotten soundtrack has the sound of something from the 1980s. Michał Urbaniak is, of course, in fine form here, and it’s good to see he’s releasing a lot of material, both new and archival, on Bandcamp.
Soundtrack
They Came From Hell – Osteotome
There are two very short tracks on this release by They Came From Hell, one of the many fine side projects of composer Philippe Gerber, but the music is so oppressively dark are foreboding that it would make for stellar soundtrack music.
William Ryan Fritch – Cohesion
William Ryan Fritch’s lastest disc is the, “second in a three-part series reflecting on the many calamitous water crises affecting life on this planet.” Cohesion is a bit darker than the previous album, Polarity, but there is a more organic feel to it. From Fritch’s Bandcamp site: “In contrast to Continue Reading
Necrocock – Jan Žižka z Trocnova (Original Soundtrack)
Jan Žižka z Trocnova is a twelve-part series covering the life of Czech hero Jan Žižka, whose role in his nation’s history is indisputable despite fighting for Protestant heretics. Though I have never managed to watch the series, I did get a chance to enjoy the soundtrack scored by Tom Continue Reading
Egari, Paata Chakaberia – In Qvevri Veritas. Original Soundtrack
Egari and Paata Chakaberia provide a stunningly good instrumental music from the Republic of Georgia serving originally as a soundtrack to a film about Georgian winemaking. From the release’s Bandcamp site: “This music was composed as the soundtrack for Leonid Parfyonov’s documentary In Qvevri Veritas. The film is dedicated to Continue Reading

William Ryan Fritch – Polarity
Welcome to 2023! We start the year by sharing a release due on January 13 by American composer William Ryan Fritch, who has been previously featured on the blog before. From his label, Lost Tribe Sound’s Bandcamp site: “‘Polarity’ is the first in a three album series reflecting on the Continue Reading
Living Pictures – No Headlights
Experimental / Trap project Living Pictures produced a one-track single that sounds like it would fit perfectly in a John Carpenter score. It’s bleak, but the synths are sensual in some weird way. I like what I’m hearing.
Mikael Tariverdiev – Visions in Black & White
Mikael Tariverdiev was a Russian cinema and TV composer of Armenian extraction but raised Tbilisi, Georgia, a true man of the Soviet world. Though he was quoted as not particularly liking jazz, he was as good an improviser that Russia ever produced. From the release’s Bandcamp page: “Visions in Black Continue Reading
Gabor Csupo – Blue Yonder For Pluto
I have the pleasure of sharing an album of electronic music composed by my friend and old boss, Gabor Csupo (of Klasky-Csupo fame). As well as being an animation legend, he’s a rather fine electronic music composer in the vein of groups like Tangerine Dream, Holger Czukay’s solo work, or Continue Reading
