{"product_id":"flux-gourmet-o-s-t-lp","title":"Flux Gourmet - O.S.T. [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Peter Strickland's Flux Gourmet, a dysfunctional group of performance artists undertake a month-long residency at an institute devoted to culinary disciplines. Food is interrogated for it's sonic potential as the group mic-up, amplify, distort and transform what they cook in front of an audience. The noise that the characters in the film itself make is driven by food blenders, overflowing cauldrons of gurgling soup and sizzling frying pans (courtesy of The Sonic Catering Band), yet the music that soundtracks the culinary capers is engorged with aching melodies and wordless, airy vocals. Contributors include Cavern Of Anti-Matter, Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost of A Hawk And A Hacksaw and Trost's band, Roj (formerly of Broadcast), and Nurse With Wound. Flux Gourmet is presented in a lush 2xLP package with an ornate, colorful design and Strickland's detailed liner notes. Image, color, light and sound are integrated and heightened to delirious levels of hyperreality, much like Strickland's past works, Berberian Sound Studio and In Fabric. Flux Gourmet very much alludes to his past as a member of The Sonic Catering Band, which he founded back in 1996. The band split on several occasions and got back together to create new pieces for the soundtrack, concocting strange sonic morsels and treating recipes as if they were scores. The lines between what is on the screen and what is on the soundtrack are blurred, with the band (mostly) using the exact same equipment (which they loaned to the production) and recipes as in the film. However, for all the conceptual rigour on display, the music on the Flux Gourmet is ultimately in pursuit of catharsis, as one character concedes. The power of music and \/ or noise to purge and cleanse it's makers (and hopefully, listeners) of their ills and woes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeather Trost - Early Gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoj - Trip to the Shops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - Death Borscht\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - the Third Gastric Surge of the Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeremy Barnes - the Funeral Table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - Greed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - Hla-Dq8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeather Trost - Early Gardens (Earlier)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoj - Trip to the Shops (Footfall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNurse with Wound - Hindu Monastery Breakfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTim Harrison - Ohmlette's Law\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - Vegetable Trash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - a Sedimental Journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - Baron Von Omelette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - Dossier de Canteen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCavern of Anti- Matter - Insufflation Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeremy Barnes - the Funeral Table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Sonic Catering Band - a Pain I Can't Hold in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeather Trost - Early Gardens (Earliest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDan Hayhurst - Monday Service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarta Salogni - Cross-Contamination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoj - Trip to the Shops (Closing Down)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeremy Barnes - the Funeral Table (Demonstration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600197019719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ba Da Bing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Flux Gourmet - O.S.T.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291956056145,"sku":"296349","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4276226-3080849.jpg?v=1760737123","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/flux-gourmet-o-s-t-lp","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
