In the Zone
Mild Peril Video Club : The Keep (1983)
Nazis in a castle having their souls sucked out by a floating brain that then turns into a kind of undead bodybuilder, filmed in the most 80s style that clashes with its period setting, starring Jürgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne and Ian McKellen, and with music by Tangerine Dream?
Mild Peril Video Club : Mad Max (1979) (1981… 2014)
If Mad Max 2 is a visual touchpoint for later, heavier industrial music, then the original for me is aligned with the weirder, minimal, synth punk that I’ve always found more appealing.
Mild Peril Video Club : Vigil (1984)
A brilliant film. Reminds you that every event can and should be seen as a moment of magical significance.
Future World Orchestra : Turning Point (1983)
Never heard of it, 1983 is a good vintage, the first track is a rip off of Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene IV. Excellent!
Albums of the Year : 2023
The album is no longer the default method of music appreciation. Therefore only albums that are remarkably consistent or that make more sense as an overall work rather than just a collection of individual tracks.
