Two years ago - the world was shocked and saddened at the tragic passing of Trish Keenan from Broadcast. At the time of her passing, the electronic outfit were working on a soundtrack to this. The band have since completed the recordings using recordings made with Keenan. As you would expect, the final piece is both haunting and brilliant and the perfect accompaniment to this superb film. The film's synopsis is as follows:
"It's 1976 and timid, Dorking-based sound engineer, Gilderoy, has been transplanted to Italy's run-down Berberian Sound Studio to work on "The Equestrian Vortex", the latest low-budget horror movie by notorious exploitation maestro Giancarlo Santini. Gilderoy's task is a seemingly simple one: to create, record and mix the sounds of bloodcurdling screams, limbs being severed and the insertion of red hot pokers into human orifices, mostly using a variety of everyday household items such as old vegetables and a hammer".
"It's undoubtedly derived from that high level of fastidiousness Keenan and Cargill always applied to their work together, but it also demonstrates what big-picture thinkers they were, able to forge unseen connections between disparate, barely heard musicians. It's what gives an album like this, drawn from so many sources, a recognizable identity of its own, and it's what gave their ever-evolving career a solid grounding in a world that was recognizably theirs." - Pitchfork
