Important Records couldn't be happier to welcome the legendary producer Jack Dangers to the fold. You may know Jack as the founding member of the most experimental and influential group ever to hit the dance floor, Meat Beat Manifesto. His intensely elaborate work with Meat Beat combined deep bass grooves, massive bursting samples and dense barrages of hip-hop, industrial and avant-funk making his influence on the landscape of electronic music practically immeasurable. It's a fact that without Jack Dangers there never would have been a Nine Inch Nails, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers or the like. Jack wrote the book. This double CD release contains Jack's now famous soundtrack for the legendary sci-fi film Forbidden Planet. This recording was performed live accompanying a screening of the film at the I.D.E.A.L. Music Festival in Nantes, France. Since the performance the legend of this recording has mounted as Jack's legions of fans have searched far and wide for copies of it. As a special bonus, Forbidden Planet Explored contains a second disc full of sci-fi sound effects inspired by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (highly innovative collaborative workshop responsible for early groundbreaking electronic music which was used as the soundtrack for numerous BBC programs starting in the sixties) and vintage sci-fi films such as Forbidden Planet. Sci Fi Sound Effects was created on his room sized EMS Synthi 100. Jack's Synthi 100 is one of the only 29 ever built and one of the only Synthi's known to be operational. From the Synthi 100 this maestro of sound is able to produce elaborate unheard tones, drones, bleeps and blobs. This CD is only available as an accompaniment to Forbidden Planet Explored. |
