CONTAGION (Gold & Red Biohazard Vinyl)

Stretching over Some Ten Projects (e.g. Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Traffic, Solaris), the Collaboration Between Ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer Cliff Martinez and Film Director Steven Soderbergh Has Been One of the Most Fruitful in Cinema History
But Perhaps the Greatest Martinez-Soderbergh Soundtrack Is the One to 2011’s Contagion

Because Soderbergh Re-Cut the Film Three Times, Martinez Ended Up Incorporating Orchestral and Electronic Elements into a Rhythmic, Propulsive Score

The Most Chilling, Chill-Out Electronica You’ve Ever Heard, Simultaneously Hypnotic and Horrifying

First-Ever Vinyl Release Comes in a Gatefold Cover Featuring Production Stills

Yellow & Red “Biohazard” Vinyl Edition

Limited to 1200 Copies

Sure to Make You Schedule a Flu Shot This Fall

Former Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Cliff Martinez’s long-standing collaboration with director Steven Soderbergh ranks right up there with some of the other great composer-director teams in film history, like Bernard Herrmann-Alfred Hitchcock and Ennio Morricone-Sergio Leone, and his 2011 score for the disaster blockbuster Contagion is among his best work. Oddly, it owes some of its uniqueness to the fact that Soderbergh radically recut the film three different times, causing Martinez to adjust the score on the fly, first starting with a more conventional score indebted to thrillers like Marathon Man and The French Connection, then moving in a more dream-like, Tangerine Dream direction, before settling on a sound that incorporated orchestral and electronic timbres into highly propulsive and rhythmic framework. It’s like the most chilling “chill-out” electronica you’ve ever heard, simultaneously hypnotic and horrifying…and for its first-ever vinyl release, we at Real Gone Music have fashioned a gatefold album cover featuring film production stills housing a limited yellow and red “biohazard” starburst vinyl edition limited to 1200 copies. Between the look of the package and the disquieting music, this one’s guaranteed to get you to sign up for a flu shot.
