 NotesIt may or may not be widely known, but Arab Strap were approached in 2005 to provide some original music for an animated short film that was nearing completion entitled Rogue Farm. Based on a short story by Charles Stross, it's set in a remote part of Scotland in the near future and concerns, well, to be honest, it all looks a bit mental to me and I wouldn't have the first idea what the hell's going on.
You can check the film's website which still has some details about the storyline, stills from the film and even short clips - the animation looks pretty smart in our opinion. As far as the original music that Arab Strap came up with is concerned, it's quite short (total running time is just over 17 minutes) but there are some lovely pieces of music in there alongside some more atmospheric, squally numbers. Obviously these tracks are only available as downloads as the music was never released in any other form: 11 tracks, 17 minutes, £4.99; thank you very much...
