Inner Space: The Lost Film Music of Sven Libaek
Specialising in unearthing music that would otherwise have ended up rain damaged in a skip, Trunk records is surprisingly consistent - with this collection of Sven Libaek's film music a worthy addition to a catalogue which includes 'Music For Biscuits' and 'Fuzzy Felt Folk'. Produced between 1965 and 1974, the music included on 'Inner Space The Lost Film Music Of Sven Libaek' calls upon a vast spectrum of styles to accompany what was occurring on screen - with the scores extra rare and previously only available in Australia. Undoubtedly warm and with a jazzy overtone that errs on the side of weirdness, Libaek's music is clever without becoming needlessly esoteric - recalling the less threatening oeuvre of Morricone. Having gained more exposure through his use in Wes Anderson's 'The Life Aquatic' soundtrack, Trunk have now served up the most complete distillation of his work to date; bringing together scores for 'The Set' (1970), 'Inner Space' (1974), 'Nature Walkabout' (1965) and 'To Ride A White Horse' (1966). Opening with the breezy work for 'The Set', the real treats begin to flow once you hit 'Inner Space' - a selection of deceptively simple melodies that rattle along with real gusto, employing a vast and varied selection of instrumentation to achieve their goal. Far more than a mere curiosity, Sven Libaek would likely have gained as much credence as the likes of David Axelrod were it not for the unreasonable prices his vinyl swapped hands for, with this well put together album from Trunk a treasure trove in the making. Space man!
