The five best themes, according to Joker
Joker has released a new album, 'The Mainframe'.
The 26-year-old Bristolian producer is best known for working within the 'purple' subgenre of dubstep. Since the release of 'The Vision', his debut album for 4AD, he's been busy releasing club tracks on labels like Butterz, Hardrive, and his own Kapsize imprint – the latter of which houses 'The Mainframe'.
If 'The Vision' was an album for radios up and down the country, then 'The Mainframe' is an album for cinema screens. Envisioned as a complete listen from start-to-finish, with each track bleeding into the next, it's all high octane thrills, brass section pomp, and digital guitar riffs. You can picture each track soundtracking a scene in a bigger blockbuster, and indeed its midsection – Scene 1, Scene 2, and Scene 3 – is described explicitly as such.
With such a cinematic focus, it made sense for Joker to pick out some of his favourite theme music from film, TV, and video gaming. It's a fun selection – there are Bond themes and mock Bond themes, and staples of British TV shows (which includes the ridiculously proggy, time signature-shifting theme for The Bill). And Joker fans should be surprised to see the theme from Metal Gear Solid 3 in there – he famously flipped the tune on his own Snake Eater.
We've stayed true to Joker's intentions and kept his words exactly as they arrived to us – we had a go at reformatting them to fit our usual style, but to be honest it just killed it.
