INFO

Sdban Records, the renowned independent groove & jazz label behind Fun ky Chicken, Hip Holland Hip, and Discophilia Belgica, is thrilled to announce th e upcoming release of its latest compilation album, "The Belgian Soundtrack: A M usical Connection of Belgium with Cinema." Packed with the finest soundtracks bo asting an unmistakable Belgian connection, this compilation takes listeners on a captivating journey through a collection of cinematic hidden gems from the earl y sixties to the late seventies.

Curated by the passionate duo Robin Broos and Tom 'Pélé' Peeters, known for their profound appreciation of obscure s oundtracks, "The Belgian Soundtrack" showcases the exceptional talents of both l ocal and internationally acclaimed composers and musicians. From obscure finds c omposed by lesser-known artists to Hollywood scores performed by world-renowned musicians, this compilation offers a vibrant blend of tracks, including the occa sional contribution from renowned international artists who have lent their musi cal prowess to Belgian films.

"The Belgian Soundtrack" came into bein g as a serendipitous adventure. Former film journalist Jan Temmerman reached out to us one day, offering a treasure trove of vintage soundtrack albums discovere d in his attic," recounts Robin Broos. "With 650 long players, mostly unheard of titles, we embarked on an extraordinary quest-to listen to every single one of them, totaling a staggering 29,250 minutes. It was like watching the original St ar Wars trilogy 78 times!"

What started as a quest soon evolved into an intriguing investigation fueled by curiosity. Along the way, Broos and Peeter s unearthed dozens of treasures, delved into the backgrounds of obscure composer s and musicians, and witnessed an array of enigmatic films. "We encountered an a bundance of (un)necessary nudity that we never could have imagined existed," Tom Peeters laughs. The outcome of their explorations is "The Belgian Soundtrack," a meticulously curated collection of funky, melodic, and uplifting tracks, each crafted exclusively for the silver screen and boasting an unexpected Belgian con nection.
