about

‘Broadmead’ is the soundtrack to ‘Broadmead: The Movie’, a film by Stanley Donwood and Mat Consume. Named after a run-down shopping precinct in Bristol, it mournfully recalls a time when the government of the United Kingdom was building a National Health Service, new universities, nationalising the railways and creating a Welfare State.

“I’ve never been to Broadmead, but I’ve seen the film. I’ve heard its plangent score by John Matthias and Jay Auborn. It makes me feel sad in the way the obituary section of the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year Awards makes me sad. Or Johann Johannson’s music. Or coastal erosion. Or all news stories about the environment. Or references to ‘tech giants’, ‘uncanny valleys’, a ‘European Super League’. “The future was merely a promise,” says the film’s narrator, “a promise which has now been broken…” I hear him, I hear him.” Sukhdev Sandhu
