Once considered Japanese ‘lost media’, the soundtrack to Garage: Bad Dream Adventure gets a release unlike anything in your collection.
For nearly two decades, Garage: Bad Dream Adventure was lost media. The kind of exotic rumored game whispered about on internet forums, accompanied by bitcrushed .jpg's sort-of kind-of depicting something unworldly. A game that defies description. Any attempt would be written off as a fever dream. You play a creature, stuck on rails in a strange steel world of machinery, navigating bizarre social politics while sustaining itself on 'Milky Fuel' and... a whole lot of sewer fishing.
But now, the game has been made readily available. A unique vision by Tomomi Sakuba, evoking the likes of Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Iron Man and David Lynch's Eraserhead, and yet an experience wholly its own. In no small part due to composer Tomonori Tanaka's world-edifying soundscapes.
An alien world demands otherworldly music, infused with the melancholic, the childlike, the desolate, the industrial, the nostalgic; the sense that whatever this world ended up as is irrevocable and filled with echoes of the past. A soundtrack like that deserves a packaging to match.
In collaboration with Tomomi Sakuba, SFR has utilized die-cuts, spot gloss, double-sided printing, custom designed merch, and hand-numbering to design a packaging that is complete, no matter which piece is extracted from the whole. A puzzle, full of surprises. No matter which turn on the tracks you take, you’re still in the world of Garage: Bad Dream Adventure.
Fans of Akira Yamaoka, Alan Splet, David Lynch, The Caretaker/James Leyland Kirby, and Tim Hecker will find a lot to love here.
