Preview: GEOFF BARROW x BEN SALISBURY // Drokk: Music Inspired By Mega-City One

The real star of UK comic badass Judge Dredd, Mega-City One has been providing a backdrop for the good Judge’s stories since 1977. Have a read of an interesting piece on the city here at Matt Brooker’s blog.

There’s a mega-edition available here, limited to 400 numbered sets: a bespoke embossed DROKK metal film canister containing –

– 2 x 10” Heavyweight Grey vinyl LPs (inc tracks not on the standard LP)
– Circular studio numbered print
– Bunker deluxe edition CD with
– drokk-card access to bonus material
– DROKK T-shirt

A limited release on Record Store Day and now available to people who don’t like queuing, Geoff Barrow (Quakers, Portishead) and Ben Salisbury (Predators, The Life Of Mammals) have been inspired to create a soundtrack to the madness: “an imaginary soundtrack album of pulsating, Carpenter-esque electronics, for the most part created using only an Oberheim 2-voice synthesizer” (FACT magazine).

Shouts to Comic Book Resources, where I first heard about the LP.
