Don’t ask me how this newly-acquired Gates Sta-Level got painted blue and lost it’s logo (both to be addressed ), but it sounds as amazing as our other one, and runs whisper quiet.

New article published today at crimereads, about the film itself, and our album:
"In celebration of the soundtrack’s 50th anniversary, Low Res remade the complete album as Marvin Gaye’s Trouble Man (S’plat Records) a dazzling project I imagine the Motown soul man would’ve loved. Having recreated and conducted the entire film score live with a 36 piece orchestra at Voouit, a beautiful classical venue in Gent, Belgium, the final product is a brilliant tribute."

Although the word “Blaxploitation” has become an acceptable one to describe African-American films released from the early-to-late 1970s, many of the actors and directors never liked the term. Stil…

Marvin Gaye was extremely proud of his pioneering film score for the “blaxploitation” film “Trouble Man”. In 1982, he commented: “The "Trouble Man" film score was one of my loveliest projects [...] And put to a symphony, if someone took my album and did a symphony on it, I think it would be quite interesting.” Gaye's use of wah-wah guitars, funky rhythms,, saxophones, and synthesizers juxtaposed with orchestral brass, reeds, and strings laid the template (along with contemporaries such as Isaac Hayes & Curtis Mayfield) for much seventies music, as well as every cop show on TV in that era.

American musician Daniel Zelonky (AKA “Low Res”) had been captivated by this record for decades. Given the opportunity to recreate and conduct the entire film score live with a 36 piece orchestra at Voouit, a beautiful classical venue in Gent, Belgium, he set about meeting this daunting challenge; to create arrangements faithful to the feeling of the original and yet to create something "new", to expand upon certain elementts - in a formal way - no "jamming" on the themes, Auditions were conducted and following 9 days of rehearsal, the funkiest orchestra to ever exist in Belgium took to the stage.

After a very successful performance, Zelonky augmented the resulting recording National Recording LLC - Milwaukee WI Recording Studio Services with additional instrumentation, and with the vocals of Blackwolf, singer of "Kings Go Forth" .

We think that the crate-digging fans of the original soundtrack and curious Marvin Gaye fans alike will find much to enjoy in this 50th Anniversary tribute to Marvin's Blaxploitation masterpiece.
