about
ƒa r ∂ e l™ presents a very special edition of unreleased soundtrack recordings from Noel Lawrence's cult film "Sammy-Gate," a dark political satire about how Sammy Davis, Jr. caused Watergate.
Available on vinyl for the first time, "Sammy-Gate" provides a stupefying dose of aural psychedelia that will plunge the listener into the polyester heart of darkness that is Sammy Davis, Jr. circa 1972...
The soundtrack includes original compositions from Kirpatrick Thomas (Spindrift), Eric D. Clark (Whirlpool Productions), and Brennan Johns (Bootsy Collins' Horn Ensemble).
Though its foot remains heavy on the wah-wah pedal, the tracks cover a staggering range of styles and genres, including psych-rock, lounge jazz, blues, classical, and analog synth.
To sustain the sonic madness at a fever pitch, the album also features a rogues' gallery of guest collaborators:
- Angie Reed (Barbara Brockhaus)
- Dmitri Brill (Deee-Lite)
- Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys)
- Philip Proctor (Firesign Theatre)
- Jason Simon (Dead Meadow)
- Bobby Bones (The Silver Chords)
- Ukulena
- Darius James (noted author and screenwriter of "Sammy-Gate")
- Noel Lawrence (J.X. Williams, director of "Sammy-Gate")
Conceived, written, and recorded over a period of eight years in Los Angeles, Berlin and Faijal in the Azores Islands, the soundtrack for "Sammy-Gate" is a consummate labor of love and the ultimate collectible for both the cinephile and the audiophile.
