Synopsis

Album Description

Important Records couldn?t be happier to welcome the legendary producer Jack Dangers to the fold. You may know Jack as the founding member of the most experimental and influential group ever to hit the dance floor, Meat Beat Manifesto. His intensely elaborate work with Meat Beat combined deep bass grooves, massive bursting samples and dense barrages of hip-hop, industrial and avant-funk making his influence on the landscape of electronic music practically immeasurable. It?s a fact that without Jack Dangers there never would have been a Nine Inch Nails, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers or the like. Jack wrote the book. This double CD release contains Jack?s now famous soundtrack for the legendary sci-fi film Forbidden Planet. This recording was performed live accompanying a screening of the film at the I.D.E.A.L. Music Festival in Nantes, France. Since the performance the legend of this recording has mounted as Jack?s legions of fans have searched far and wide for copies of it. As a special bonus, Forbidden Planet Explored contains a second disc full of sci-fi sound effects inspired by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (highly innovative collaborative workshop responsible for early groundbreaking electronic music which was used as the soundtrack for numerous BBC programs starting in the sixties) and vintage sci-fi films such as Forbidden Planet. Sci Fi Sound Effects was created on his room sized EMS Synthi 100. Jack?s Synthi 100 is one of the only 29 ever built and one of the only Synthi?s known to be operational. From the Synthi 100 this maestro of sound is able to produce elaborate unheard tones, drones, bleeps and blobs. This CD is only available as an accompaniment to Forbidden Planet Explored.

"OK... I love electronica, and I like Jack Dangers, but this CD is not so great. There is NO MUSIC on it. That's right. No music. It's all freaky sound effects. It would make great background music for a halloween haunted house, but don't get this CD if you're expecting it to sound anything like Jack Dangers' other stuff. I gave it 3 stars because, even though it's not what I expected, I can still appreciate the talent that's behind it."

This is a LIVE soundtrack for Forbidden Planet (the movie)

"Unfortunately, it seems that previous reviewers have COMPLETELY missed the concept behind this album. This live performance was for a screening of Forbidden Planet at the I.D.E.A.L. Music Festival in Nantes, France.

If you have ever seen the original Forbidden Planet movie, Jack did an AMAZING job recreating the soundtrack using his amazing synthesizer skills. For a true experience, rent the movie, and play this CD instead of the original backing soundtrack. Your perspective and respect will change almost instantly.

The accompanying CD is additional theme-appropriate sci-fi musings on an extremely rare Synthi 100 (one of only 29 known to be made and the only one known to be operational). This dinosaur of a synthesizer gets to shine in its own right on the second CD. Electronic music archeologists will find this an enlightening listen.

I will warn breaks-and-beats fans of Jack Dangers or Meat Beat Manifesto to avoid this album unless you enjoy true avant-garde musique concrete compositions. This composition is completely devoid of any beats or drums."

"All the more reason to pick it up!

It's not for the dance floor, it is Jack's vision of how the soundtrack should have been to a 1960's, sorry 1956, Sci-Fi movie with Leslie Nielsen as the leading man. I found the concept of the movie intelectually appealing, subconscious mind expansion and whatnot. I'm sure they will remake it soon, and it will probably have a similar soundtrack to Matrix or something equally "techno-edgy", then maybe these other reviewers will buy the soundtrack. Don't get me wrong I like my Juno Reactor as much as the next freak, but this is just not in the same realm.

I bought the Meat Beat Manifesto DVD "In Dub 5.1 Surround", it shows a collection of many sound effect albums from the 50's and 60's, I assume Jack has spent some time gathering these oddities for his collection, and are probably the basis for many of the sounds heard on the Forbidden Planet Soundtrack. I am quite certain that Jack et.al. spent plenty of time making their analog equipment behave just perfectly to set the eerie tone of this quirky film."
