Leo's Favourite Soundtracks
For full disclosure I’m semi-famous at Sister Ray for not actually liking films very much so it’s somewhat ironic that I have felt inspired by the release of Late Night Tales’ “At The Movies" compilation (available here) to make a rundown of my 5 favourite film soundtracks (in no particular order). Vangelis - "Blade Runner" Probably the film that made me sit up and take notice of soundtrack composition. Can you imagine the sweeping cyberpunk landscapes of Ridley Scott’s future Los Angeles without the looming, doomy synths of Vangelis underpinning it all? Rugged industrial beats, a swooning love theme and...
Sister Ray's Mercury Prize Picks: Leo
Come on Mercury Prize you’re fooling no one. Dangle the carrot of a freaky jazz album then snatch it away and beat us with the Wolf Alice stick. I jest. Long-time fan of Pharoah Sanders and big fan of early Floating Points so was excited to hear this collaboration.

Sister Ray's Mercury Prize Picks: Eve

RSD 2020 - SEPTEMBER 26th DROP
Seconds away! Round Two! So here we go again, this Saturday 26th September a few events are taking place that could in the grand scheme of things be called noteworthy. 1) It's my birthday 2) A birth date I share with the smooth as silk Bryan Ferry. (I expect we’ll head off to Annabels later in the day and quaff cocktails with the great and good before retiring to a country estate with minor aristocracy still enraptured by our sparkling wit and repartee) 3) Crystal Palace play Everton in a top of the table clash (it is a weird year)...
