Deadly Avenger would like to take you to the movies. Damon Baxter’s debut album ‘Deep Red’ is the culmination of a lifelong passion for films and the music that brings them to life. Not the usual ‘soundtrack for a film that hasn’t been made yet’ but a soundtrack for every film ever made. Ever. Released on September 30th Deep Red boasts blockbuster action, noirish suspense, romance, sex, violence, a club scene and a bit with a spaceship. The supporting cast includes production genius Howie B and a 47-piece Hungarian orchestra. Like David Arnold, David Holmes and Craig Armstrong, Deadly Avenger thinks in widescreen. And his adventures to date, as label boss, DJ, remixer and dance producer, are only half the story. Major labels weren’t slow to enlist his talents and he remixed three of Britain’s biggest bands in quick succession: Manic Street Preachers (The Everlasting), Travis (Writing To Reach You) and the Stereophonics (the unreleased Just Looking). He has since worked his magic on the Charlatans, the Divine Comedy, Howie B, Shea Seger and Nigo. Meanwhile, Illicit brought together a number of like minds (Jadell, Bronx Dogs, Pepe Deluxe, Andy Smith’s Dynamo Productions, Organic Audio) on two acclaimed Battlecreek EPs. While making ‘Deep Red’, no corners were cut. The opening fanfare of ‘We Took Pelham’ leaves you in no doubt that Deadly Avenger has arrived. On September 16th the first full single release from his soon come album Deep Red, ‘We Took Pelham’ is a perfect example of Damon Baxter’s widescreen musical vision and is guaranteed to kick in the door on the next chapter of this musical maverick’s adventures. We Took Pelham, originally built around a sample of Bill Conti’s Going The Distance from the Rocky soundtrack, was remade and replayed by a full orchestra in Budapest. Most of the string parts you hear were written, scored and performed rather than sampled. Howie B, a long-time friend and fan, takes additional production duties. As for the album, “If I had to pin it down I’d say you’re going to see a film like Seven – dark, grainy, enjoyable but not exactly happy. Music should take you somewhere else.” Turn off the lights and let the opening credits roll. The new adventures of Deadly Avenger start here. |
