INSPIRATION

Electronic rocker and record producer Klayton on how he got to where he is now. 

CARRIE FISHER ( 1956 - 2016 )

Out of all the stars we expected to dodge the '2016' bullet, we thought it would be Carrie. Even after she was taken ill on Christmas Eve, we thought she would emerge, days, maybe weeks later, in 2017, feistiness intact, middle finger raised, thus signalling the end in the appalling run of celebrity fatalities that marked this particular twelve months.

Unfortunately, it was not to be. As 2016 taught us over and over again, life does not follow the narrative you want.

There are charming clips of the original Star Wars cast surfacing all the time on the internet. We'll add to this as we go along, but in the meantime, let's start with this one:

Very funny impromptu 2005 interview with Carrie, by British comedian Justin Lee Collins.

REWINDING A CYBERPUNK CLASSIC: RICHARD STANLEY'S 'HARDWARE' ( 1990 )

'THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET'

- Public Image Limited

/////////////////////////////

There's a shot in the new Blade Runner 2049 trailer that is very reminiscent of a similar shot in the 1990 movie HARDWARE, so we thought we'd include some clips as a little side-bar to the aforementioned, heavily-anticipated Harrison Ford sequel.

Above: HARDWARE poster art

For a short while at the beginning of the 90's, director Richard Stanley was the up-and-coming indie auteur to watch. Coming from a background of music videos and documentaries, Stanley was able to bring a widescreen vision to HARDWARE, a small-scale, low-budget sci-fi flick, that references both Terminator and Evil Dead. The film was a success and garnered a cult following, and was followed up by the equally good Dust Devil, a slow-burning horror film shot on location in Namibia ( Stanley was born in South Africa, and so has an affinity for the African continent ). However, subsequent career missteps meant that he has maintained a relatively low profile compared to the indie kids who came after him ( notably Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez ), and so he failed to capitalise on the huge mainstream appetite for original indie film-making that came to define 90s cult cinema.

Hardware was unavailable on DVD until 2009, when it was released as a special edition.

MONA LISA OVERHAUL - NEW EDITIONS OF THE CYBERPUNK CLASSICS

William Gibson's groundbreaking early novels finally get a UK make-over.

Book cover art by Daniel Brown / Design by Sinem Erkas

Here at Future-Rocker's headquarters we have long bemoaned the appalling state of many sci-fi book covers. Luckily, some progressive-minded art directors realise that a strong font or an enigmatic cover can provoke the imagination, rather than give the viewer everything on a plate.

Daniel Brown's cover art perfectly captures the feel of 'The Sprawl' ( the vast megacity of Gibson's novels ), yet also reminds us that there are places on earth right now that already look like this.

Sci-fi fans are a conservative lot, so it's always been a risky business not having some lovingly-airbrushed interplanetary vista or 'cool'-looking reject from an 80s rock video adorning the cover. Sadly, the 80s rock analogy held sway over Gibson's oeuvre here in the UK for what seemed like decades.

We haven't read the novels since the old days, but were discussing round the office if it's worth digging the classics out to see if they hold up. The new editions give us a reason not to have to crawl around in our dusty old vaults looking for them. We can just order these brand-new editions from Amazon and enjoy the Inception-like cover vibe and collectability, thus saving ourselves the hassle. With the first of them, Neuromancer, being released this December, it's just in time for Christmas. Hell, we'll even pay extra for a drone to fly it down the chimney.

Neuromancer was published in mass market paperback 8th December 2016, Burning Chrome, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive will be published in mass market paperback, 9th February 2017.

CIRCLE OF DUST, RECOMMISSIONED

Hugely prolific Detroit-based electronic musician Klayton ( also known as Celldweller ) has released a new video for his resurrected 90s industrial project CIRCLE OF DUST.

CoD was originally put on ice due to complicated legal disputes with a former label, in response to which, Klayton went on to form CELLDWELLER and grow his thriving label FIXTMUSIC to produce and market his own music ( as well as that of other acts such as Blue Stahli, The Qemists and The Algorithm ).

Recalling surrealist pioneer Louis Bunuel's Un Chien Andalou, and Shinya Tsukamoto's horrifying 90s cyberpunk body-horror movie TETSUO, the video perfectly captures the aesthetics of 90s industrial music, as performed by bands like Die Krupps, KMFDM, and Schnitt Acht.

Circle of Dust has remastered and re-released it's entire back catalogue, culminating in a brand-new 2016 album, Machines of Our Disgrace. This track is taken from that album.* 

*There will be a comprehensive overview of FIXT's recent output on this blog soon.

BILLY IDOL'S SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM (1993) inspired by TETSUO: THE IRON MAN (1989)

TOTALLY RECALLING BRITISH ROCKER BILLY IDOL'S CYBERPUNK PHASE

Directed by cult sci-fi / horror director Brett Leonard ( The Lawnmower Man / Virtuosity ), the Billy Idol promo is both a synchronous mix of real-world events and an anticipation of a tech-based dystopia that predicts the anarchic Los Angeles of the 2020s. 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The opening scene of SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM promo video (from the 1993 album Cyberpunk) is an obvious reference to the brutal beating of Los Angeles citizen Rodney King by the LA police. The incident had been caught on camera, and resulted in world-wide condemnation of the LAPD's tactics and abysmal community relations (King was African American and the incident brought the LAPD's institutional racism under intense scrutiny). In a highly-publicised court case, the officers involved were acquitted, sparking six days of violent unrest, causing over two-thousand injuries and 63 deaths. Scenes of shotgun-toting Koreans guarding their storefronts, and truck drivers being dragged from their cabs, were broadcast all around the world as the neighbourhoods burned.

While it may seem obvious now that breakthroughs in compact tech such as hand-held movie cameras would revolutionize daily life and transform regular people into vérité filmmakers and citizen reporters, at the time this was still somewhat of a novelty - and perhaps, to authoritarian regimes around the world - not a beneficial one (Kathryn Bigelow's 1995 future-noir Strange Days is a good depiction of when tech goes horribly wrong).

With voyeurism, extortion, narcissism and violence now part of our daily media consumption in the Twenty-First Century, early cynics might have been proved right. 

As well as the real-world events, the promo echoes the contemporaneous Cyberpunk literary movement, and was seen against a backdrop of big studio films such as Paul Verhoeven's Robocop (1987) and Total Recall (1990), as well as the more 'body horror' output of cult director David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983). 

Despite all these cross-pollinating influences, what seems to have been forgotten (or deliberately ignored) is that Shock To The System owes its entire central idea - that of the protagonist transforming into a chaotic cybernetic lifeform - to the notorious live action Japanese movie Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989).

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

TETSUO: THE IRON MAN - TRAILER

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Tetsuo - in the eyes of Western audiences - benefitted from being adjacent to the blockbuster Japanese anime, Akira (1988), which preceded it. Though unrelated, both coincidentally feature a character named Tetsuo who undergoes a hideous series of mutations. 

Directed by innovative and transgressive filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, and its sequels Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992), and Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2010), both repelled and enthralled VHS collectors and arthouse movie-goers alike, with its highly kinetic mix of vertiginous photography, stop-motion animation, visceral violence and pounding industrial music.

British punk rocker Billy Idol, then living in LA, was voraciously absorbing Cyberpunk culture, and would definitely have been aware of Tsukamoto's film and been influenced by it.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

TETSUO II: BODY HAMMER - TRAILER

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Ultimately Billy Idol's entry into the Brave New Nineties didn't exactly pan out as planned.  The Cyberpunk album, which had been assembled on producer Trevor Rabin's Macintosh-based home studio using an early iteration of Pro-Tools, failed to chart in America, but faired more decently in Europe. Although attempting to look and sound futuristic, edgy and confrontational, Billy became yet another Eighties rocker whose career was put on hold by the advent of corporate Grunge Rock. Plus, a serious motorbike accident didn't exactly help, either.

Above: Sleeve art for Billy Idol's Shock To The System 7'' UK single.

In terms of themes and content, perhaps if they were aware of these disparate influences, a sensitive resident of the Twenty-First Century may be offended by the referencing of the Rodney King incident, or of Shinya Tsukamoto's violent and controversial imagery.

Luckily in the Nineties, the vast majority of the audience were still able to accept speculative and 'what-if' concepts in good faith, and not look to score social points by dishonestly taking wild and antisocial portrayals of fictional characters and superimposing those onto the character of the creators. 

Above: SHOCKUMENTARY VHS cover art. 

Ultimately, despite the album's poor reception, Cyberpunk is notable in its use of electronic media in marketing, as Billy Idol was an early adopter of email as a way to facilitate a more direct contact with fans, and the hard copy of the CD also included bonus multimedia content written onto the disk. Both of these anticipated trends that would become common in music sales well into the Noughties.

It would take several years and the invention of new technology like Youtube to bring Billy to the attention of a whole new generation of fans. They probably won't see the divide between Billy's 'classic' sound, and the more 'experimental' sound of Cyberpunk, they'll enjoy both on their own terms. Perhaps they'll also research the influences and events that made the album happen, and discover that Shinya Tsukamoto's disturbing filmmaking was once something you might see at the local multiplex on 'art cinema night.'

Creators have benefited from a technology becoming ever more sophisticated and affordable, ultimately bringing us closer to the realities depicted in William Gibson's dystopian novels Neuromancer and Count Zero, prophetic books that established 'Cyberpunk' as an endlessly imitated subgenre for years to come.

In the past we've loved the wacky pixel-heavy covers that adorned Philip K Dick's catalogue during the nineties, under the US imprint Vintage Books.

However, we have to admire the recent very cool, and understated, PKD covers on the Mariner Books editions, also in the US ( a nice change to see his initials boldly taking up the space on the cover: 'PKD' is how fans refer to him ).

A SET-LIST OF 'SUBSTANCE'

A few minutes ago Peter Hook Tweeted a photo of the set-list from last night's gig ( at The Orange Peel, Asheville, North Carolina ).

'Substance' is the title of both NEW ORDER and JOY DIVISION's landmark compilation albums, ( released August 1987 and July 1988 respectively ), and so the above list is inevitably a mouth-watering prospect for fans of both bands.

Here at Future-Rocker, we love how Hooky has become a confident and commanding frontman and lead singer, and we definitely appreciate the rocking live versions of his bands' classic songs.

BRAND-NEW 'GHOST IN THE SHELL' CLIP : 'SHELLING SEQUENCE'!

ASH THORP TEASES LOST BOY PROJECT!

''...an ambitious sci-fi concept heavily influenced by the American action classics and Japanese samurai films''

A perennial favourite of FUTURE-ROCKER, movie design guru Ash Thorp teases us with a Twitter countdown to a full-length clip of his long-time pet project LOST BOY. With help from regular collaborator Anthony Scott Burns ( who is also synthwave maestro PILOTPRIEST ), the team will unveil the full 'concept clip' twenty-four hours from now.

SCANDROID TEASES FORTHCOMING TEARS FOR FEARS COVER!

A hit on the global electronic charts within days of its release, SCANDROID's debut album proves there is an insatiable demand for eighties-influenced music. A thrilling blend of rock and new wave, the sound of multi-instrumentalist Klayton's current project perfectly captures the need for a cyberpunk soundtrack in these increasingly dystopian times.

We at Future-Rocker are confidently predicting that SCANDROID could be even bigger than his main band, the highly acclaimed CELLDWELLER.

Here's a teaser clip of the new promo, a cover of Tears For Fears 1985 hit, 'Shout'. The full video will be released next week.

CLINT MANSELL TO SCORE GHOST IN THE SHELL SOUNDTRACK!

Above: POP WILL EAT ITSELF classic THERE IS NO LOVE BETWEEN US, from 1988.

Clint Mansell, former band leader of West Midlands UK 80s alt-rockers POP WILL EAT ITSELF, is scoring the new Scarlett Johansson sci-fi action vehicle GHOST IN THE SHELL, according to director Rupert Sanders ( Snow White and the Huntsman ).

Mansell is already established in niche movie-making by being Darron Aronofsky's go-to guy, having notched up REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, THE FOUNTAIN, THE WRESTLER and BLACK SWAN for the celebrated art-house director.

Mansell's former band ( also known as PWEI ) were notable for their amalgam of cut-and-paste sample-heavy dance rock, that acknowledged an eclectic range of influences from Run DMC, to AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, also ushering-in early-90s Crusty and mid-90s Industrial music. They are arguably a heavy influence on post-millennial bands such as PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING.

Though having scored a couple of big studio movies in the past ( the entirely forgettable SAHARA and DOOM ), GHOST IN THE SHELL will be the first Mansell-scored movie where his pedigree will mesh superbly with the subject matter, in what is hoped to be a huge blockbuster movie.

Below: Mansell's LUX AETERNA from Requiem for a Dream ( 2000 ).

1ST FULL TRAILER: 2017's GHOST IN THE SHELL!

With Marvel Studios' hugely successful DOCTOR STRANGE comic adaptation now in the rear-view mirror, it feels like there's some room for Paramount to unveil the trailer for their highly-anticipated GHOST IN THE SHELL live-action movie.

Starring Scarlett Johansson, plus Juliette Binoche and Takeshi Kitano, GHOST IN THE SHELL already has a built-in cult following from the acclaimed manga comics and numerous animated movies. Indeed, it is hoped to be a huge break-out movie, following as it does, in the wake of two notable Johansson indie sci-fi films ( LUCY, and UNDER THE SKIN ) plus her ongoing and very popular appearances as Black Widow in MARVEL'S AVENGERS franchise juggernaut.

That it is the first major comic-book movie in the current era that is not from either Marvel or DC, can only heighten the anticipation, while at the same time capitalising on the seemingly-endless contemporary demand for adapted comic properties.

Ghost In The Shell opens on March 31st, 2017.

NEW SCANDROID ALBUM IMMINENT!

The greatest 80s Synth-Rock band that never existed is about to release its debut album!

One of the many brainchildren of production mastermind Klayton ( who is also Circle of Dust, Argyle Park and of course, the legendary Celldweller ), Scandroid are the spiritual gene-splice of New Romantic pop stars Duran Duran and William Gibson's Neuromancer.

The album features 15 tracks of ridiculously catchy cyber-rock, ideal for those late nights when you've got Near Dark, Bladerunner or Akira on subtitles and you want a more rockin' soundtrack to go with the visuals.




''The debut, self-titled Scandroid album features 15 tracks, ranging from the driving instrumental energy of "Destination Unknown," to melodic vocal tracks like "Awakening With You," "Aphelion," and "Neo-Tokyo," rounded out with the cinematic epics "2517" & "Singularity." As a child of the 80's, Klayton has also included a cover of the classic Tears For Fears song "Shout," that he has been patiently waiting to cover since he first heard the song on U.S. radio in 1985. The digital album concludes with a bonus remix from synthwave artist Waveshaper. The 72 minute album depicts themes of a cyberpunk future where humans and sentient robots struggle to find a connection in their dystopian world.''

The album is out on November 11th, with an early-bird release the day before, via the label website ( see below ).

'THE ULTIMATE IN RETRO-TECH'

Yes, for Eighties completists, you can also experience the album via the extremely convenient cassette format!

Available as a strictly limited edition.

This and many other collectables are available at FIXTSTORE.

PRETTY HATE MACHINE: 25 TODAY!

NINE INCH NAILS classic debut album was released on this day, 25 years ago. 

At the time something of an indie sleeper hit, composer / musician Trent Reznor's album grew in momentum over a period of months and years, eventually achieving Gold status ( 500,000 copies in the US ) in 1992.

By that time, it's aggression, angst and introversion was perfectly synched with the grunge wave that took over 90's rock culture, simultaneously making industrial music palatable to the mainstream, with acts following in NIN's wake such as Stabbing Westward, Filter and Orgy.

Pretty Hate Machine was certified Triple Platinum in the US ( 3,000,000 copies sold ) in 2003. 

After being out of print for several years due to legal wrangles with original label TVT, Pretty Hate Machine was re-released in remastered form in 2010.

DEADPOOL'S TIM MILLER DIRECTS THE DC UNIVERSE!

Relax, these amazing short clips ( see below ) were made several years ago by Blur Studios for DC/Warners, but have now recently become part of cinematic history because they put Tim Miller in the director's chair for this year's Deadpool movie. 

Below: The Flash, by Blur Studios. Dir: Tim Miller

Executives working with X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn had seen these clips, and wisely decided Miller should direct his own movie. Having no track record with mega-budget films, he was handed the Deadpool gig by Fox because of the film's smaller budget, and therefore scaled-down expectations. 

Deadpool was cinematic lightning-in-a-bottle: With loyal fan support, a sustained and rather genius marketing campaign, plus a sympathetic release date ( there had been no superhero movies for six months prior to its opening ), it was in the right place at the right time. Add to that, the surge of goodwill towards actor Ryan Reynolds' efforts in getting his pet project made, and it was almost inevitable that Deadpool went on the become a mega-hit, and the biggest-grossing X-Men related movie to date.

So let's kick back and enjoy these clips...and ponder how the DC Cinematic Universe will shape up. Particularly notable is Wonder Woman ( in the first clip ). We are effectively given a tantalising glimpse of what her own movie may look like, now that the dust has settled on her electrifying debut in the recent Zack Snyder-directed Batman vs Superman.

Enjoy!

'VICTORIA' MOVIE - THE OPENING SCENE, Directed by Sebastian Schipper

WARNING: Contains strong strobe lighting.

A festival favourite over the last few months, the film is notorious for its central conceit: It's a heist thriller filmed in only one take. That's right, a two-hour-plus film, with no edits. 

Surprisingly, it lost out on a Best Foreign Language Oscar nomination due to the large amount of English dialogue, which seems somewhat unfair. If the director, writers, cast and crew are German ( with the exception of lead actress, Spain's Laia Costa )...then it's a German film, surely? Enjoy this very atmospheric opening scene. Note: The original has been taken down so we've had to use a fan post instead.

FANTASTIC PROOF-OF-CONCEPT CLIP: 'RISE'

From up-and-coming film-maker David Karlak, and currently under development at Warners, this fantastic clip looks like a superb addition to the hot trend for 'sentient machine' movies that we flagged up last year with Ex_Machina, Chappie and Automata. Science Fiction always has a knack of cleverly assimilating contemporary fears and paranoias into the realm of fantastic fables...is there something in the air, we wonder? Clip features Star Trek's Anton Yelchin, and Man in the High Castle's Rufus Sewell.

Can't wait to see the full movie!
