Soundtrack (Theme, Score)

© & ℗ Blackest Ever Black, under exclusive license from Jack Bond, all rights reserved. Digital edit and transfer: Tom Halstead. Lathe-cut by Marco Pellegrino. Screen printed by Black Ink Press. A 7″ lathe-cut, strictly limited to 50 hand-numbered copies, of two songs by Jane Arden and Mihai Dragutescu, taken from Arden and Jack Bond’s 1979 film, Anti-Clock. The record is housed in a card wraparound sleeve. Half of the wraparounds are yellow, with image and text screen-printed in red; the other half are blue, screen-printed in black. Anti-Clock, Arden and Bond’s final collaboration, has been described as an “avant-garde sci-fi”, but that billing, though not exactly inaccurate, scarcely does justice to a densely woven, dream-like narrative which explores issues of personal identity, social conformity and, at bottom, our precarious, entirely provisional understandings of time and space. Our co-directors combine pioneering video techniques and pin-sharp colour footage to startling effect, while Arden’s script exudes a deeply despairing poetry.
