The Baseline is the centre of East London's seedy club scene?and the queue at the door usually stretches to the next block. Danny works at the door ? breaking up fights or dealing with drunken youngsters. But when he saves the club owner and local gang leader, Terry, from a hitman he finds himself up to his neck in the underground scene he'd so bitterly wanted to avoid. Danny is promoted to manager, but only on the condition that he turns a blind eye to the shady dealings taking place on and off the dance floor. Danny and his girlfriend Jessica dream of opening their own club, but Danny is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice when he has to choose between loyalty, morality, and his own dreams of escape.
The music was written by Nigel Clarke and Michael Csanyi-Wills (The Little Polar Bear, The Little Vampire), offering the composers a chance to showcase a different side of their work. With prominent use of the cello, among other techniques, the composers are remarkably successful in capturing the setting and portraying it in the music (the nightclub scene, the violent, gritty environment, etc.). In addition to numerous photos from the production, the CD booklet contains a foreword by director Brendon O'Loughlin (Track 15). We are delighted to present this CD to you as a world premiere release.

「BASELINE」は、イースト・ロンドンの怪しげなクラブシーンの中心地であり、入り口の行列はたいてい次のブロックまで伸びている。ダニーはドアマンとして働いており、喧嘩を仲裁したり、酔っ払った若者たちに対応したりしている。しかし、クラブのオーナーであり地元のギャングのリーダーであるテリーを殺し屋から救ったことで、彼はどうしても避けたかったアンダーグラウンドの世界に首まで浸かることになってしまう。ダニーはマネージャーに昇進するが、その条件は、ダンスフロアの内外で行われる怪しげな取引に目をつぶることだった。ダニーと恋人のジェシカは自分たちのクラブを開くことを夢見ているが、ダニーは忠誠心、道徳、そしてそこから抜け出したいという自身の夢のどれかを選ばなければならない状況に追い込まれ、究極の犠牲を払うことになる。
トラックリスト音楽はナイジェル・クラークとマイケル・チャニ＝ウィルズ（『リトル・ヴァンパイア』、『リトル・ポーラ・ベア／しろくまラルス 新しい冒険』）が担当し、彼らにとって作品の新たな一面を披露する機会となった。チェロを際立たせるなど様々な技法を用いることで、作曲家たちは舞台設定（ナイトクラブの情景、暴力的で荒々しい環境など）を見事に捉え、音楽で表現することに成功している。CDブックレットには、制作中の数多くの写真に加え、ブレンドン・オローリン監督による序文（トラック15）が収録されています。世界初リリース。 --- レーベルより。
