MovieScore Media releases Vince Watts electrifying retro score for We Are the Freaks. Written and directed by Justin Edgar, the film follows the adventures of Jack, Parsons and Chunks on a Friday night that will change their lives forever. All three of the protagonists seem themselves as 'Freaks': Jack comes from a working class background and is awaiting news about getting a college grant, Parson’s dominating family had already mapped out his life for him, while eccentric Chunks can live off his wealthy divorced parents competing for his attention. But in the post-Thatcher Britain, things can always go haywire...

Vince Watts delivers a refreshingly retro electronic score for We Are the Freaks. For those of us grew up in the '80s, this score will instantly bring about nostalgia for a time when a lot of movie scores were delivered in this style.

'Manager's Office' has an air of Klaus Doldinger's score for The Never Ending Story (1984) and Harold Faltermeyer soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop (1984).

'Ambient Light' brought to mind James Horner's 'Through the Window' and the opening of 'The Ascension' from Cocoon (1985).

'Awaken' and 'Monkey Science' reminded me of the track 'End of the Tunnel' composed by Ramin Djawadi for the fourth season of Prison Break.

The score contains 10 tracks (29 min, 01 sec) and is a loving homage to a time long since past. If your informative years were the '80s you'll love this.
