Stranger Things - Season 1, Volume 1 - A Netflix Original Series (UK-import)
The spellbinding, synth-heavy soundtrack to Netflix's 1980s-set smash hit horror 'Stranger Things'. With its pillowy synth-pads and rich textures, the soundtrack to volume 1 seamlessly wanders through the 80s world of 'Stranger Things', breeding an unthreatening serenity with a gentle shift toward a darker mood. By track 11, listeners are plunged into a nightmare before they even have time to blink; a change pulled of with uncanny grace. The score effectively taps into a unique, strange world of terror, and springs it upon the audience with considered precision. This soundtrack is instantly reminiscent of works by John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing), Tangerine Dream and Vangelis (Blade Runner), whilst also delving into the ambience of Aphex Twin and more modern composers such as Cliff Martinez (Drive, Solaris). This retail variant LP is pressed on 'Half Red Half Blue' vinyl and is housed in an extra thick 425g heavyweight gatefold sleeve. A printed insert is included which features additional artwork and credits. Volume 2 and the box set containing both LPs, details are being finalised with the show, and these will be announced at a later date.
