ALL RIGHT (from Shinya Tsukamoto's TETSUO: THE IRON MAN) explores a particular scene from this cult horror picture classic – it is the surreal telephone conversation where the protagonists say nothing but "Hello," over and over again. As a counterpoint, ALL RIGHT is a light up-tempo piece rather than an addition to the film’s dark industrial nature. Reminiscent of the big beat from the nineties, it embarks us on a bouncy trip along the dance floor.

THE OCEAN (from Andrei Tarkovsky's SOLARIS) brings a vast, slow-paced droning soundscape before us. Just as in the pensive masterpiece that inspired it, everything is uncertain, the space is undefined and balance is fragile. The only fixed point appears to be Hari's voice, as palpable as her words are fleeting. Unearthly, this meditative piece finishes the voyage into the seventh art, immersing us in the obscure waters of the unfathomable ocean.

I’VE GOT YOUR NUMBER (from David Cronenberg’s VIDEODROME) features the voice of Deborah Harry’s character moderating her Emotional Rescue radio programme. The telephone conversation transmitted over the airwaves, where the distress of the caller is presented lightly in the film, is given a similar light treatment in the track. The sweet synthesizer solo towards the end appeases us, just as it seems to soothe the caller’s anguish.

SUN’S HERE (from Steven Spielberg’s CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND). Light and cosmic as the film itself, this track brings a positive touch to the album without straying too far from the overall atmosphere. The acoustic tones of the piano, perfectly married with the electronic instruments, appear as an ode to the improbable yet infinitely enjoyable encounters.

Four artists, four different styles, each with a vision all their own, give their interpretation of Dragonfly Lingo's track inspired by Shinya Tsukamoto's cult sci-fi horror "Tetsuo: The Iron Man."

In 2016 Dragonfly Lingo returned with a brand new release titled “Cubicle Dream”. This track, a single release, pushes the envelope of Dragonfly Lingo’s sonic repertoire: while still drawing on industrial roots, the song explores the trip-hop and downtempo styles. Also a first, this track features original lyrics, rendered by a text-to-speech engine, that focus on the woes of unemployment and the disaffection of the modern worker drone.

Dragonfly Lingo is an electronic industrial act, started in 2009 with an idea to take the pieces of dialogue from film and pair it to the music that each excerpt inspired. With time, the Dragonfly Lingo moniker expanded beyond one concept album paying homage to the silver screen gems…
