Del Rey & the Sun Kings - Battleship Potemkin
DEL REY & THE SUN KINGS
Battleship Potemkin
(Trakwerx)
A member of experimental music outfits Savage Republic and 17 Pygmies, instrumentalist/composer Jackson Del Rey pays tribute to the iconic Russian motion picture Battleship Potemkin by contributing a new score. Original composer Sergei Eisenstein claimed he thought the film needed a new soundtrack every ten years or so, and Del Rey has taken up the challenge. He easily rises to it, creating music that’s evocative, sensual and, when the mood calls for it, harrowing. Of course, how often you might listen to it is dependent on your tolerance for music made to accompany visuals (or your fixation on ambient work). That said, if you’ve got a copy of the film lying around, put it on your monitor, turn down the sound and play this disk alongside it for a no doubt fulfilling experience. Michael Toland
