Again more negativity but directed towards the youth, and not the synth that came before. They pretty much called our generation rubbish. Grunge, Funk, etc whatever they want to call it. Took 1960’s ideas and commercialized off it. This was a bunch of dudes who was addicted to the Metal and turned it into commercialism. Check out the “Synth Britannia” and their music uprising. Basically a repeat of that idea of desitopia ( the opposite of a utopia ), futuristic world.Īgain this was the sum of the negativity towards synth that was made during the punk era. Basically oh look their is no more segregation and no more arguments, I guess we should just pour on the acid rain clouds, and ekk out an living of ancient technology.
#Comix zone soundtrack movie
Turner himself being portrayed in that manor is kinda the current theme of the times, if you was to watch/read the movie “Hardware” that is basically the state of brainwashing people were under inside the world. A bunch of people who were brainwashed and somehow re commercialized Metal. Speaking of brainwashing and getting over brainwashing, that is what the “grunge” was. It is kinda like how I am into fiction and stuff, working with the minimal tools I have. The 1990’s with all the peace, to the children, the idea that rock was auwsome, cool, etc was installed inside their minds. Last time Metal was Metal, was probably the Punk scene, or rebellious society scene. Metal is Metal, in my opinion for whichever independent progressive etc musician. So sit back, put on your bugle boy pants and let’s go for a nostalgia trip. Not to mention he also did the score for couple of films I really like: Spike Lee’s 25th Hour and The Man with the Iron Fists (along with Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA). You might have heard his soundtrack work in Sonic & Knuckles, The Ooze, Die Hard Arcade and even Sonic and the Black Knight in 2009. Howard Drossin is really amazing and knocked it out of the park with this game collaboration. This soundtrack just puts a cherry on top of the 90’s neon colored birthday cake.Įven bigger praise goes out to the composer of not only the 16-bit Comix Zone soundtrack but for composing, producing, engineering and performing the above tracks. I always hear people say that Comix Zone is a encapsulated cartridge that represents all things 90’s and I have to agree. Honestly, this soundtrack recording isn’t the greatest but it really does capture early 90’s Grunge.
#Comix zone soundtrack full
Howard Drossin, the composer behind the soundtrack for Comix Zone put a band together called ‘Road Kill’ (named after Turner’s pet rat and humble side kick).Ībove is the YouTube video featuring all 18 minute or so long soundtrack and a total of 6 full tracks of distorted guitars and angst-filled lyrics.
It didn’t become commercially successful until the first half of the 90’s thanks to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and of course Stone Temple Pilots. Grunge music started in the mid-1980’s in Seattle and slowly spread thanks to labels like Sub Pop. It’s no secret that Comix Zone‘s Sketch Turner was design around a grunge rock musician.
