INFO
Sdban Records, the renowned independent groov e & jazz label behind Funky Chicken, Hip Holland Hip, and Discophilia Belgica, i s thrilled to announce the upcoming release of its latest compilation album, "Th e Belgian Soundtrack: A Musical Connection of Belgium with Cinema." Packed with the finest soundtracks boasting an unmistakable Belgian connection, this compila tion takes listeners on a captivating journey through a collection of cinematic hidden gems from the early sixties to the late seventies.
Curated by the passionate duo Robin Broos and Tom 'Pélé' Peeters, known for their profound appreciation of obscure soundtracks, "The Belgian Soundtrack" showcases the exce ptional talents of both local and internationally acclaimed composers and musici ans. From obscure finds composed by lesser-known artists to Hollywood scores per formed by world-renowned musicians, this compilation offers a vibrant blend of t racks, including the occasional contribution from renowned international artists who have lent their musical prowess to Belgian films.
"The Belgian S oundtrack" came into being as a serendipitous adventure. Former film journalist Jan Temmerman reached out to us one day, offering a treasure trove of vintage so undtrack albums discovered in his attic," recounts Robin Broos. "With 650 long p layers, mostly unheard of titles, we embarked on an extraordinary quest-to liste n to every single one of them, totaling a staggering 29,250 minutes. It was like watching the original Star Wars trilogy 78 times!"
What started as a quest soon evolved into an intriguing investigation fueled by curiosity. Along the way, Broos and Peeters unearthed dozens of treasures, delved into the backgr ounds of obscure composers and musicians, and witnessed an array of enigmatic fi lms. "We encountered an abundance of (un)necessary nudity that we never could ha ve imagined existed," Tom Peeters laughs. The outcome of their explorations is " The Belgian Soundtrack," a meticulously curated collection of funky, melodic, an d uplifting tracks, each crafted exclusively for the silver screen and boasting an unexpected Belgian connection.
