It is becoming clear to us now that film score composers have the best work ethic of anyone involved with the massive undertaking of producing a feature-length film. Yet again, we have discovered what appears to be a fully completed musical score for a movie that never made it into theaters (or even direct-to-home-video). 

Resofame Recordings presents: Protocole - Bande Sonore Originale du Film!

With the recent closure of Radio-Canada's "L'entrepôt du costumier," several unmarked archive boxes have been cataloged for inventory and one box of particular interest has made its way to the Resofame office. Inside, we found soundtrack master tapes, post-production audio treatments of dialogue, a few pre-production sketches, the movie poster and a promotional mouse pad for what appears to have been a French language sci-fi horror film produced somewhere in Quebec in the late 1980's. According to some research completed by our Montréal correspondent, Jérôme LeBel, Protocole: Le Voyage d’un cargo de l’espace transdimensionnel seems to have been placed in production limbo when the film studio's parent company decided to focus its resources on Denys Arcand's follow up to the highly successful Le Déclin de l'empire américain. For unknown reasons, production on Protocole never resumed and it was ultimately shelved. However, it appears that most of the film was near completion, including an impressive original score by Montréal synth-wizard, Pocaille.

We have painstakingly digitally archived and restored all of this and on March 10, 2015, Resofame Recordings will officially release the soundtrack, complete with hi-resolution scans of the printed materials and even limited edition reproductions of the promotional mouse pad. As an added bonus, we have employed five of Montréal's finest electronic music producers to remix the movie's main title theme.

Pocaille - Divide et Impera

Montreal's own Pocaille falls firmly into one of my favorite categories of house music: No-nonsense House. Strictly for Dancing and That's OK is a qualification that should never be frowned upon. If you need more, there are several live mixes up on his website.
