Inspired by French Dadaist Fernand Léger’s 1924 film Ballet mécanique, Ben Hopkinson of the UK band By Toutatis composed this stunning ten minute instrumental. While APOLF is chuffed to feature the first three and a half minutes on our forthcoming compilation, (available Tue 30 April 2013,) the full download is available now via the group’s bandcamp site. While you’re there, consider pre-ordering the Cinemusique II DVD, which in addition to By Toutatis’ take on Ballet mécanique, features GIRL SWEAT’s fiery and ferocious take on Fritz Lang’s 1927 masterpiece Metropolis and Year of Birds’ version of Philippe Garrel’s 1968 experimental film Le Révélateur.
