RELEASE DATE

WRWTFWW Records announces the official reissue of
Daisaku Kume
's original soundtrack for the highly acclaimed 1989 Japanese crime/drama movie
Violent Cop
. Available for the first time outside of Japan, the album comes in a limited edition of 500 copies worldwide with a 45rpm cut providing full audio pleasure and an iconic record sleeve featuring the movie director and star: the one and only "Beat"
Takeshi Kitano
!
Violent Cop
marks Kitano's directorial debut -- a gritty neo-noir in which he stars as a rogue detective fighting a sadistic crime syndicate, only to discover widespread internal corruption in the police force. Poetic, minimalistic, with a superb balance between small soothing moments of beauty and vertiginous sudden violence, the film spearheaded a superb international career for the multi-talented filmmaker, actor, and comedian, which includes works such as
Sonatine
,
Hana-Bi
, and
Battle Royale
. The release of the soundtrack on vinyl presents an excellent opportunity for fans to explore the musical underpinnings of one of Kitano's earliest creations. Daisaku Kume, known for his work as the keyboardist for late '70s fusion bands
T-Square
and
Prism
, showcases versatile musical prowess on the soundtrack, taking listeners on a sonic journey through a blend of genres including magnificent
Erik Satie
re-interpretations, melancholic smooth jazz sometimes reminiscent of
Taxi Driver
, ambient-classical, and modern Western atmospherics. It's the perfect setting for Kitano's stoic but tormented lonesome urban cowboy character. Raw power mixed with timeless elegance.
Violent Cop (Original Soundtrack)
by Daisaku Kume follows the recent release of the soundtrack from another groundbreaking Japanese movie,
Shin'ya Tsukamoto
's
Tokyo Fist
(1995), with music by industrial visionaries
Chu Ishikawa
and
Der Eisenrost
, also currently available on WRWTFWW Records.
