Hyena - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by The The 2xLP Vinyl Record (Blue Coloured Vinyl)

Death Waltz Recording Company proudly present a modern classic from one of Britain’s most revered bands. Directed by Gerard Johnson, “Hyena" is a breakneck thriller dealing with Police corruption in West London with an incredibly atmospheric score by Matt Johnson aka The The. 

Following super-bent copper Michael, “Hyena" highlights the dark and grimy side of being on the take, with none of the flash and glamour usually seen in movies like this. The The – scoring their second movie with Gerard Johnson after “Tony" – give the film an evocative soundtrack that weaves between seduction and horror.

The score to “Hyena" comes across like a fever dream; vignettes of hip-hop and house beats with incredible synthesiser melodies laid on top, threatening electronic effects roaring like a Formula 1 car engine, even choral sections with haunted vocals that show the inevitable influence of Vangelis. Instrumentation is eclectic, with electric and acoustic guitars creating anticipation and dissonance while steel drums and Eastern strings subconsciously illustrate the diversity of the area. Similarly, “Hyena" combines its musical influences to produce a score that reflects the danger of Michael’s situation but also the exhilaration. “Hyena" is simply essential.

Pressed on 140g Double Blue Coloured Vinyl and housed inside a 425gsm leather look sleeve containing a full colour booklet. Side D features an etching of The The.
