THE RECORD OF THE WEEK: END BY RYUICHI SAKAMOTO

Raife's record of the week is the soundtrack for Beckett, the soon-to-be released Netflix thriller.

Coming out on @milanrecords, the album features the film’s original music composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Also featured is the original song Born to Be by Devonté Hynes - which you can check out on the official trailer.

Raife says - "Sakamoto’s spellbinding track End is my highlight from this wonderful release. It’s hard to describe how much I love Sakamoto’s work. I remember when I was about eight or nine and my dad brought the VHS of Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence home. It was one of the first times I ever noticed a film score. I still often listen to that soundtrack. Sakamoto's effect on me at such an early age is undoubtably one of the reasons I chose to dedicate my life to music."

DIRTY MONDAY... FT IAN NEIL

This week's Dirty Monday playlist is from master music supervisor Ian Neil: his all time favourite cover versions he's been a part of.

Ian says - “Being involved in projects where artists create a new song or do a cover of an existing song is one of the buzzes of a music supervisor's work. It brings magic to the screen and I’m lucky to have been around many over the years.”

Warren Ellis is releasing a book titled 'Nina Simone's Gum'. It chronicles an enchanting tale about when Ellis snuck up on stage to “steal” a piece of gum she'd stuck underneath her piano after an electrifying performance.

The book is described as 'a celebration of the artistic process and friendship' and will be released by Faber & Faber on 2nd September.

Two musical geniuses. What’s not to love?!
