 From David J: The music featured on this album is a collaboration between myself and Ego Plum. I was approached by the film director, Ramzi Abed to compose music for his feature film, ‘Black Dahlia Movie’ ( as it was entitled at the time ), it being a surrealistic, tangential take on the legendary ‘Black Dahlia’ murder mystery. When Ego heard about the project, he contacted Ramzi with a view to being involved. Ramzi passed me a copy of Ego’s demo and I have to say that I was enormously impressed by it’s quality. All lush film noir atmospherics, Rotaesque strings and what sounded like the fever dreams of Raymond Scott. I had a partner in crime! The music took on a life of it’s own outside of it’s essential relationship to the film. This was due, in part, to my growing mediumistic obsession with the subject matter which acted as a vortex, pulling me ever further into the abyss of it’s dark glamour. It was indeed, a very scary place and I was glad to have Ego along for the ride. His ability to bounce his own ideas off of my own fevered revery never failed. [continued]
