SIMON GOFF – The Gold Series 2 (Original Soundtrack) – LP – Black Vinyl [JUL 25]

LP – Limited Edition Of 300 Copies On Black Vinyl With Gold Mirror Board Inner Sleeve

The Gold is inspired by the true story and theories of the 1983 Brinks-Mat robbery, which saw the theft of 26 million worth of gold bullion, and the decades-long chain of events that followed. First aired in February 2023, the first series of The Gold garnered 8.7 million viewers for the first episode and was nominated for a BAFTA. Series Two is inspired by theories around what happened to the other half of the gold.

Simon Goffs work sits at the intersection of contemporary classical, electronic, and cinematic music. His albums Vale and Spark Like Living Mothers have received critical acclaim for their immersive, textural soundscapes and compositional depth. He has also worked with some of the worlds most acclaimed musicians as a collaborator and sound engineer on Joker and Chernobyl both of which earned him Grammy Awards.

“In series one of The Gold, the score developed around using the sound palettes of strings and electronics, acting themselves as characters in the narrative. The subject of class permeates the whole story, and we used these sound worlds to represent two worlds divided at first but becoming more and more intertwined as the series progressed. The ways in which the worlds have collided and merged in series two is even more complex. The tension is even higher, and the neurosis that torments the characters runs deeper.” Simon Goff
