alain pierre: jan zonder vrees

Dark ambient synth album by Alain Pierre for Belgium's first long animated picture, Jan Zonder Vress (1984), directed by Jef Cassiers. Teenage horror cult from Flanders - full cartoon art. The score ranges from catchy synthesizer tunes over upbeat medieval melodies with an eighties make-over, to near-atmospheric ambient, and the theme song is an earworm that's nested deep into the collective memory of every Flemish person who had a TV in the late eighties and nineties. This is the maiden vinyl voyage for Ghent's maverick internet broadcasting crew, Stroom. 180 gram vinyl; Comes in a gatefold sleeve; Includes a download code.
