Sleeping Dogs
Sleeping Dogs, 'New Zealand's first full-length, feature film made in some time also boasts a totally indigenous soundtrack. Already on release as a single on EMI are two songs taken from the movie and performed and written by Murray Grind lay. The A side is "Don’t Look Back” with a flip of "Night-train to Waiuku". Due for late September release is The Sleeping Dogs Original Soundtrack which will, of course, feature the two songs on the single as well as two other songs from Murray Grindlay, two from Mark Williams and one from Josie Rikka. Dave Calder and Mathew Brown, who wrote the bulk of the incidental music for the movie, have one track. The album is produced by Alan Galbraith. Sleeping Dogs, based on C.K. Stead’s book Smith's Dream, is perhaps best described as a political thriller set in some unknown future time when New Zealand is in social turmoil and a violent guerilla movement emerges. Made at a cost of $450,000 it’s the first ever colour 35mm film made in New Zealand and goes into commercial release on October 7.
