I can't find a thread for this already in existence, so I'll start a new one. Fully expecting it to be merged or moved, because... well just because me.
Anyhoo.
An outfit that I'd been hitherto unaware of, called "Electronic Saviors" have put together an homage to Transformers the Movie, called Respect the Prime. It is notionally a more industrial reimagining of the Transformers the Movive soundtrack.
Now this at first sounded a bit daft to me, since a lot of the original songs are on the harder edge or the rock spectrum, and the score is very synth heavy. But... something about this production works. Even if some of the industrialisation perhaps takes things too far. And their version of The Touch still has a high cheese content (as it should be). But the reinterpretations of some of the score tracks are wonderful - thoughtForm's take on Death of Optimus Prime is particular tingle-inducing.
It's definitely a very interesting excercise, and worth a listen. And since Electronic Saviors also raise funds for cancer-related activities, it's also all in a good cause.
