geoff barrow & ben salisbury
Drokk' music inspired by mega-city one
INVADA
portishead man & his composer buddy create a synth led electronic homage to judge dredd’s home city.
rather than intending to be the definitive sound of mega city one, drokk is barrow & salisbury’s personal, outsider’s’ interpretation. even though it is a soundtrack of sorts, they steer clear of the rich orchestration common to many contemporary film scores. even for electronica the music is often purposefully stark & spare, excepting a brief cameo from barrow’s other band beak>. “(they) have created something truly original in drokk… a soundscape of interlocking melodies & rhythms which are completely absorbing & hypnotic.” 4/5 – the skinny.
