The Moomins Theme by Finders Keepers Records published on 2016-12-05T11:40:43Z Graeme Miller & Steve Shill The Moomins FKR090 LP/CD/MP3 Pre-order the album here: Finders Keepers Records - https://goo.gl/Ppng0H iTunes - https://goo.gl/s2QtiW Amazon - https://goo.gl/91iELn Bandcamp - https://goo.gl/cGxKfb Imagine, if you will, a foreboding homemade electro-acoustic, new age, synth driven, proto-techno, imaginary world music Portastudio soundtrack for a Polish-made animated fantasy based on a Finnish modern folk tale and created for German and Austrian TV, composed in 1982 by two politically driven post-punk theatre performers from a shared house in Leeds! To even the most perspicacious and adventurous of alternative music fans the genuine bloodline of this previously unreleased record already begins to sound like an entire record collection in one sitting. It would be surprising if this project's ambitious and exotic credentials didn't tick at least one box on your musical matrix and without one drop of unnecessary nostalgic hyperbole this project already sounds like the perfect fantasy record that you've never heard. Alternatively we could just say The Moomins and, for many, things would instantly begin to make perfect sense. From the same social landscape as Gang Of Four, The Mekons and Impact Theatre Co-operative - armed with a Wasp synthesiser, an ocarina and a cassette of the Robinson Crusoe music taped off the TV, Graeme Miller and Steve Shill used minimum means for maximum mayhem, instilling over 35 years of dreamlike illusory fuzziness and freakiness into the memories of a generation of school age TV addicts waiting for the next 5 minute fix of outernational fuzzy felt folklore. Collected here, all in one place for the first time, Finders Keepers in close collaboration with the original composers finally bring the original homemade micro-melodies and reintroduce them to a musical landscape where fans of vintage electronics, concrète tape effects, pocket percussion and domestic synths are finally ready to be reunited with the magnetic music of Moominvalley. www.finderskeepersrecords.com Genre Soundtrack Comment by veraveritas eire life...i just woke up from a dream where i had a moomin good luck charm.what hidden message that can transform my life could this hold man? if only my niece wouldn't watch it in hebrew hmm 2016-12-05T16:17:07Z
