Plaid - Tekkon Kinkreet Soundtrack

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

Plaid - Tekkon Kinkreet Soundtrack

Post by stargurl »

Plaid have done the soundtrack to a new Japanese film called Tekkon Kinkreet. The soundtrack is out now in Japan.

Trailer on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV6Ahmd5JHg
Website: http://www.tekkon.net

And a bit from an interview:
Is it true that the director himself chose Plaid, a British electronic music duo, for the soundtrack?

Mike insisted that Plaid was the only band who could do it, and I think he was right too. The guys from Plaid came to Japan towards the end of the production, and when I thought they were working on the remix at the studio, it turned out that they were actually re-composing the song all over again after they saw our graphics. In their final week, they were sleeping at the studio using collapsible beds. (laugh)

EDIT: You can, of course, buy the CD online:

i'm hoping it will be something different as it will be more score based. Its a shame the video doesnt let the music do the talking :)

Well, I've always thought Plaid have it in them to do a score, so it'll be interesting.
