The Kid Who Would Be King

Damon Albarn’s music collective Electric Wave Bureau has composed the music for the upcoming fantasy adventure The Kid Who Would Be King. The film is written and directed by Joe Cornish (Attack the Block) and stars Louis Ashbourne Serkis, Dean Chaumoo, Tom Taylor, Rhianna Dorris, Angus Imrie, Rebecca Ferguson and Patrick Stewart. The movie follows a twelve-year-old British schoolboy whose everyday problems are dwarfed by his discovery of the mythical sword Excalibur. Nira Park (Baby Driver, Hot Fuzz), Tim Bevan & Eric Fellner (Atonement, Les Miserables, Darkest Hour) are producing the Working Title and Big Talk Pictures production. Electric Wave Bureau has previously been credited for scoring the 2012 drama Broken starring Tim Roth & Cillian Murphy and also produced songs for Luc Besson’s Lucy and both Paddington movies. The Kid Who Would Be King will be released in theaters nationwide on January 25, 2019 by 20th Century Fox.

The apparent idea behind this five-CD, 101-song bootleg was a sound one: to gather all of Pete Townshend's best solo demos from the Who's prime era (mid-'60s to late-'70s) in one place. As Who/Townshend fans know, his demos were usually very interesting, and while not as good as the full-on band versions done by the Who, they often boasted a personal, primitive, tenderness not present in the final product. But while there's much fine, and some great, music on here (and certainly there are a lot of great songs), this really isn't the major event it might have been. First, and most importantly, a lot of this stuff actually came out on the very-above-board Scoop and Another Scoop compilations, often with better sound.

During the two decades that followed the end of World War II in 1945, independent record labels flourished. Many of these micro labels succeeded by specializing in specific types of music that the more bland-minded giants—RCA, Columbia and Decca—largely ignored. In the process, these small labels wound up establishing beachheads for new music genres and cornering the market for the genres' best musicians and singers.
