Astonishingly considering their 50 year career scoring for radio and television, this is the first time The Radiophonic Workshop have ever scored a feature film for theatrical release or collaborated on a major score together. They’ve risen to the challenge admirably, concocting a soundtrack that mixes pastoral flute with dread synth tones and bowed percussion that connects this to England’s hidden reverse of Coil as much as the masters of Italian Giallo soundtracks. The soundtrack features sound elements and drones from the Delia Derbyshire archives, the pioneering producer of the original \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e signature tune. These sound elements, discovered in boxes of tapes in the late composer’s attic, have been restored and used in the foundations of the sound track and sound design. \u003ci\u003ePossum\u003c\/i\u003e is the directorial debut of Matthew Holness (best known for co-writing and playing the title role in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace). The film stars Sean Harris and Alun Armstrong, telling the story of a disgraced children’s puppeteer who returns to his childhood home and is forced to confront his wicked stepfather and the secrets that have tortured him his entire life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD - Housed in a beautiful 6-panel sleeve designed by Julian House (Ghost Box Records \/ Children Of Alice), the soundtrack includes all the cues from the feature film as well as 9 bonus tracks. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Room 13","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50447031206219,"sku":"1047047","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/708ce037-9773-4277-86a9-ab3d3fca8a40_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727069233"},{"product_id":"burials-in-several-earths","title":"Burials in Several Earths","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBurials In Several Earths\u003c\/i\u003e is a brand new work by the legendary Radiophonic Workshop, the soundtrack architects behind classic British TV music such as \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy\u003c\/i\u003e. An evocative suite of synth improvisations, \u003ci\u003eBurials In Several Earths\u003c\/i\u003e evokes the haunting qualities of their classic work whilst exploring fresh new vistas of sound. Conjuring up atmospheric, immersive textures that mix tried-and-trusted analogue techniques and leading edge digital technologies, the release connects the dots between the work of pioneering British electronic composers such as Delia Derbyshire and artists whose work bares the unmistakable genetic footprint of the Radiophonic Workshop: the likes of Cavern Of Anti-Matter, Pye Corner Audio and Children Of Alice. Features guest appearances from Martyn Ware (The Human League \/ Heaven 17) and Steve ‘Dub’ Jones (Grammy-award winning mixing engineer for The Chemical Brothers, UNKLE, and New Order). The vinyl edition is a deluxe quadruple 10” boxset (including fold-out double-sided poster and download card) featuring edits of the tracks unique to this edition, and an alternate mix that does not appear on the CD and digital versions. The formatting is a subtle nod to the retrospective 4 x 10” set the Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label put out in 2003. The CD edition features the full-length versions of the tracks spread over two discs, in a gatefold lancing pack with miniaturised replica of the vinyl poster. Both editions designed by David Chatton Barker, founder of the acclaimed Folklore Tapes label. The titling of the album and individual tracks were inspired by Francis Bacon’s incomplete 1627 literary work New Atlantis, previously used by one of the founders of the Workshop, Daphne Oram, as a manifesto for the original sound sorcery they famously produced in room 13 of the BBC Maida Vale studio complex in London. Room 13 is also the name of the Workshop’s newly minted label! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2CD - 2 CDs in a gatefold lancing pack with a fold-out poster insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4x10\" - Limited edition box set with 4 x 10\"s in cardboard inner sleeves with a fold-out poster and download card.
