Varyingly described as 'clever, subtle, sophisticated', 'simply unforgettable' and (their all-time favourite) 'the anticoldplay', it’s fitting that London duo Cult With No Name have now turned their attention to cinema, for their first DVD release. And it’s even more fitting that the German expressionist classic gets the CWNN treatment.
Released in 1920, and directed by Robert Wiene, 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' remains one of the most influential films of all time, it's dark imagery and surrealist set design subtly, and usually not so subtly, constantly referenced in film and music for generations to come.
Cult With No Name’s compulsive and compelling soundtrack extends their ability to instantly create evocative moods over 51 breathtaking minutes. As the bleak story unfolds, each piece seamlessly drifts and merges into the next, along a journey that takes in warm ambience, nerve-shredding distortion, popular (and maybe even unpopular) song, and vast, expansive futurist soundscapes. It's a story of magic, murder, mystery and ultimately, madness.
Lightwerx (a division of Trakwerx Records) proudly gives you Cult With No Name's 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'...and invite you to think outside the box.
