The Pet Shop Boys revealed their new soundtrack to the 1925 film 'Battleship Potemkin' at a free concert in London's Trafalgar Square last night.
Talking prior to the event, Neil Tennant told the BBC: "We liked the idea that we were going to take something made in the 1920s and put contemporary electronic music to it. The ICA approached us because they knew we had a background of using film with our music - our first tour, for example, was directed by Derek Jarman."
Sergei Eisenstein's classic tells of a sailors' revolt in 1904, and has been a major influence on film-makers and artists. Tennant continues: "The director, Eisenstein, said that he wanted there to be a new soundtrack to the film every 10 years to keep it fresh."
