Yes, I made the soundtrack more recently. Standard 8 was a silent format. The boy in the film is my brother, Danny - see the Data Portability video response link.
It's always FASCINATING to see an artist's work from back in their earliest days of expression. You know, not really out of any sort of sense of nostalgia for a time-period...more out of curiosity to see/hear works that you might normally NEVER get to see! "Pre-fame" if you will!
And, I might add, that is why I am so obsessed with The Pump! Apart from being totally unobtainable outside your recent Vinyl-On-Demand box-set (which makes ALOT of us want it EVEN MORE!), it's a chance to hear pre-Nocturnal Emissions material. There is NO WAY that prospect COULDN'T be attractive!!! Same holds true with any early video work!
You are welcome!!! And just as a reminder, our collaboration should be out before the end of this year! ROIL has promised me. As soon as they are ready, I will have him send a batch your way.
fab!

This was very satisfying. The soundtrack complemented the images perfectly. Thanks for posting this one.
