In 1984, Fangoria Magazine blurbed about a brand new sci-fi, fantasy, adventure movie coming out later in the year starring 13-year-old newcomer Danny “Trig” Mason. The buzzed-about film went way over budget, the studio pulled out and—despite being rumored as the greatest fantasy/adventure script of the 1980s—the completed film never saw the light of day. The soundtrack to the film has become industry legend: artists from Van Halen, to Queen, to one-movie wonders like Mick Smiley and Mark Safan had all signed onto the film, only to see it shelved.

Until now.

With this mix—my first non-holiday mix—I tried to capture the goosebumps and adventure that 80s sci-fi and fantasy movie soundtracks gave me when I was a kid: the goofy synths, the semi-futuristic bombast, the movie quotes thrown haphazardly into each track, the VHS grittiness, the story arc…I hope you really enjoy it. It may be my favorite thing I’ve ever done. I originally thought of this concept in my Wizard days, and just now carried it out…spurred on by the success of the Mad Decent Blood Bros. mixes. This is in the same vein, but with a different genre. I ended up with a wealth of material and suggestions from friends…enough for a sequel.

This mix would not have been possible without the LAW Group (in random order of appearance): Fight Director Rickey Purdin, Jesse Thompson, Alex Segura, Rob Bricken, Alejandro Arbona, Sean T. Collins, Zach Oat, TJ Dietsch, Mel Caylo, Jon Gutierrez, Alex Kropinak, Todd Casey, Kiel Phegley, Dave Paggi, Justin Aclin, Adam Tracey and silent partners/homies til the end Andrew Reedman and Matt Powell.

An extra special thanks is in order to Joe Jacobs of Vlantis fame and original mix tape masters Nick Kuzmyn (who discovered “Operator” for me, and more…) and DJ Daymage. And thanks to all those YouTube users who went to the trouble of uploading entire 80s movies that, to most, have no business being uploaded.

My friend Joe—better known to readers of this site as the Teen Turtle Pregnancy guy—has just released his new EP, totally for free, over at his website where you can download it and stream it for free!

The EP is pretty amazing (I mean, Christ, just check out that cover art, for one. And it’s getting great reviews), and the lead-off song is kind of a cross between NOFX and a cute Japanese girl kicking you in the face. I’ve been meaning to make a music video for Joe for sometime, and I came across some footage that seemed appropriate for this and this only.

Did you know there exists a Science Fiction Museum? Well, I guess if you’re a hardcore fundamentalist Christian, every museum is kind of like a science fiction museum (but I kid WASPs! I kid! Sorry to kick you when you’re down with the passing of Oral “Snicker!” Roberts). The Bad News is, it’s in Switzerland. The good news, my best best buddy Joe….who you know from THIS VIDEO about Teenage Turtle Abortion…

…has been selected for THIS!:

A new music compilation CD, produced by Maison d’Ailleurs, is now accepting submissions. The CD will be produced in 5600 copies, distributed for free with the music magazine Vibrations in March 2010, to accompany a Music and Science Fiction exhibition at the museum.

About the exhibition:

Maison d’Ailleurs is staging an exhibition about Music and Science Fiction from March 6th to August 1st 2010, which will explore the way that Science Fiction has permeated music genres. Not only has Science Fiction been linked to technological innovation in musical instruments since the theremin, but thanks to its metaphorical potential, Science Fiction narratives and images have been widely used by musicians, from Sun Ra to Magma, Kraftwerk to Carl Craig, Louis and Bebe Barron to Hawkwind…

Sounds cool, right fellow geeks? Joe and I have been making music together—sweet, sweet music—since we were kids (there’s still an Angelfire page out there to prove it. More on that later), and lately he’s really grown leaps and bounds despite the fact that neither of us have any clue what we’re doing, and are just having fun. Well, that’s actually just what Joe would want me to say. He’s actually very talented. Add in the fact that he teaches “bad girls” for a living in Japan, and his super-talented wife makes stop motion Wookie films, and it’s possible I actually hate him.

Say, why not listen to his MySpace tunes? his albums are available for free download HERE.

And here’s another from his Super Battlestation Robot EP: “Prepare for a Mind War.” I did they original vocals for this song but they succccked hard. If you listen closely, you can hear me doing some of the screamy stuff in the background. But thank god he didn’t use my tracks.
