Hasta La Creative!

“Or rather… Spandau vs Speedcore?” And so begins the soothing tunes of Spandau Ballet’s ‘True’ for the calm scenes, while the harsh speedcore was composed in house by Richard Devine. The films cut back and forth between idyll and disaster, the rose tinted-train travel vs a calamity car journey. With tunes like these, the choice seems obvious. Plus, you don’t want to end up as a warning on youtube as security carries you away.

Commenting on the process, music supervisor Chris Phelps says: “We worked closely with Anomaly from the beginning to ensure we found the perfect tracks for this spot. It was important we chose music that would work in harmony with the fast cut but would be completely opposing to each other in both mood and speed. We worked with the creatives and post audio house to edit the tracks so that they flowed nicely with the scenes. It was great fun working with the Anomaly guys and we were thrilled to be bought back on board with Virgin Trains once again.”

Oli Beale, Executive Creative Director and Partner at Anomaly says: “It’s just great that the Speedcore genre is finally getting the public recognition that it’s so long deserved.” Indeed, Oli, we all hate it.
