Ferguson, Lance -& The Bamboos-
L'ocean De Toi O.s.t.
Lance Ferguson (of The Bamboos, Menagerie and lately, The Ferguson Rogers Process) releases a newly scored soundtrack for the 1981 French film 'L'Ocean De Toi.' The romantic thriller was the debut film by enigmatic French director Leroi Alarie. Ferguson's score is a collection of languid, dreamy (mainly) instrumental funk pieces that evoke the hazy, sun-kissed atmosphere of the film. Conceived and imagined to suit the aesthetic of the era, but with an inevitable twist of "la modernité." It's a fitting match for this new addition to the canon of early '80s European arthouse cinema, thankfully rescued from obscurity for 21st-century audiences to finally enjoy.
