FADER Distribution has released a soundtrack album for the sci-fi musical Neptune Frost. The album, entitled Unanimous Goldmine, features the film’s original music composed by the movie’s writer/co-director Saul Williams (Akilla’s Escape, A Midsummer Night’s Dream). Visit Amazon or any other major digital music services to stream/download the soundtrack. A limited vinyl edition is also in the works. Neptune Frost is directed by Williams & Anisia Uzeyman and stars Cheryl Isheja, Bertrand “Kaya Free” Ninteretse, Eliane Umuhire, Tresor Niyangabo, Rebecca Mucyo, Elvis Ngabo, Eric “1key” Ngangare, Dorcy Rugamba and Cecile Kayirebwa. The movie is set in past-, future- and present-day Rwanda, in the afterlife of the nation’s civil war, and centers on a cosmic romance between an intersex hacker and a coltan miner. The musical, which premiered at last year’s Cannes and Toronto Film Festivals, was released last month by Kino Lorber and is currently playing in select theaters. The film will be coming out on Blu-ray and DVD on August 9.
