The lovely and beautiful Jess Acreman has given us her thoughts.
A true soundtrack in every sense of the word, Broadcast’s take for ‘Berberian Sound Studio’ captures the very essence of the film to the point where even those who’ve not experience the movie can still be immersed in its quietly disturbing darkness.
Taking an avant-garde approach to the classic soundtrack, Broadcast project the unhinged terror of severed limbs and orifice abuse with 8 bit screams and disturbing Italian whispers keenly utilised.
Romantic, ethereal notes soften this gothic led composure, ebbing and flowing through a sea of wild, rampant gargling’s heard before only in the possessed depths of the Conrad’s foreboding Congo.
For a film about an artistic maestro, ‘Berberian Sound Studio’ has a beautiful soundtrack, telling the story as well as the picture itself; picking up on the late Seventies period while keeping it modern with a Nintendo-pop accent a lá Crystal Castles.
4/5
The Berberian Sound Studio soundtrack by Broadcast will be released January 7th 2013 on CD, vinyl & download.
