Prequell - 'The Future Comes Before' is Echoes: October 'CD of the Month'

Echoes Podcast

Fashion runway shows are not the places I usually look for music to play on Echoes. But if I had looked, I would've found the music of Prequell, the recording guise of French composer Thomas Roussel. He does shows for Pigalle, Michael Kors, Christian Dior and other high fashion designers. He treats these shows as if he was scoring a movie and the sound is nothing if not cinematic. Now he has a new solo project called Prequell and he's released his debut album, The Future Comes Before. It merges a string orchestra with electronics, singers like Rae Morris and sounds from NASA to create a 21st century symphony that is dynamic and powerful. It's the Echoes October CD of the Month.
