Silent Running

"Silent Running" is the first soundtrack album by 65daysofstatic. It was released in November 2011 on the band's own Dustpunk Records label.

Following the album release, an additional EP was added with four extra tracks that were part of the soundtrack.

History
This project was part of the Glasgow Film Festival's project to screen the classic 1972 "Silent Running" movie with a new alternate soundtrack. Following a live performance of the score, the band used crowd funding to allow a studio recording and international release.

It was recorded and mixed to tape (and back again) by Dave Sanderson and Alan Smyth at 2Fly Studios in Sheffield. It was mixed by Alan Smyth and Dave Sanderson, then mastered by Paul Gold at Salt Mastering. It was self-produced by the band.

Album Art
Art direction for this album was part of the band's long-running collaboration with Caspar Newbolt. Apparently, it was created amidst a hurricane.
