RSD JULY 2021

2 LP

? Original soundtrack to a new British horror film by the pioneering UK
electronic research lab responsible, utilising sound elements from the Delia
Derbyshire archives. ? Astonishingly considering their 50 year career scoring for radio and
television, this is the first time The Radiophonic Workshop have ever scored
a feature film for theatrical release or collaborated on a major score together.
They've risen to the challenge admirably, concocting a soundtrack that mixes
pastoral flute with dread synth tones and bowed percussion that connects
this to England's hidden reverse of Coil as much as the masters of Italian
Giallo soundtracks. The soundtrack includes all the cues from the feature film
as well as 9 bonus tracks. ? Possum is the directorial debut of Matthew Holness (best known for cowriting and playing the title role in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace). The film
stars Sean Harris and Alun Armstrong, telling the story of a disgraced
children's puppeteer who returns to his childhood home and is forced to
confront his wicked stepfather and the secrets that have tortured him his
entire life. ? “This soundtrack a testament to the Radiophonic Workshop's mastery of
sound. At once unnerving, atmospheric, and deeply moving.” - Matthew
Holness (Writer & Director) ? First time on vinyl - limited edition green 2LP for Record Store Day 2021,
housed in a gatefold sleeve, with 16 page wire-stitched booklet and
download card. ? Limited to 500 copies for the UK and Ireland.
