GEOFF BARROW / BEN SALISBURY Drokk: Music Inspired By Mega-City One – Vinyl 2xLP (black)

Pressing info : 2019 reissue on black vinyl 2xLP. Die-cut and debossed sleeve. Printed inner sleeves with track titles.

After being completely sold out on vinyl, Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury’s ‘DROKK: Music Inspired By Mega-City One’ has been re-issued as a special edition on 2 x LP with beautiful new bespoke packaging, including extra bonus material previously not available with the retail vinyl release.

This incredible new package is designed by Marc Bessant and features a deluxe spined ‘sombre grey’ outer sleeve with deboss and die-cut revealing the reverse board inner sleeve and vinyl label. A very classy package indeed.

DROKK is a synth heavy score with a relentless darkness, a cold atmosphere where the tension never drops. Although it is a soundtrack of sorts, Barrow and Salisbury instinctively felt that music for MC1 should steer clear of the rich orchestration common to many contemporary film scores.

Even for electronica the music is often purposefully stark and spare, with the majority of tracks created exclusively on the Oberhiem 2 Voice Synthesizer with a cameo from Beak>
