Der Todesking (original Soundtrack)

Release Date:10/20/2017;Notes:Limited vinyl LP pressing with obi. Original motion picture soundtrack by Daktari Lorenz, Hermann Kopp and John Boy Walton. Jörg Buttgereit is a Berlin based writer and director known for his controversial movies. In 1989, Jörg directed Der Todesking (The Death King). This experimental style movie, which does not use central characters, explores the topic of suicide and violent death in the form of seven episodes, each one attributed to one day of the week. These episodes are enframed by the vision of a human body, slowly rotting during the course of the movie. Daktari Lorenz, Hermann Kopp and John Boy Walton make up the holy trio of composers called upon by film maker Jörg Buttgereit. Between the three of them they produced some of the most haunting and beautiful tracks to be paired up with Buttgereit's controversial on-screen works of art. One Way Static now proudly presents for the first time on vinyl as an expanded release, the complete soundtrack to Der Todesking. This limited vinyl release contains the original soundtrack (released back in 1990 as a limited 7" EP) and unreleased material sourced from recently discovered tapes.;Special Attributes:LIMITED EDITION, EXPANDED VERSION
