The Committee Featuring Musical Score by Pink Floyd Available On DVD On September 13th 2005 Through
Eclectic DVD

Oaks, PA - Eclectic DVD and Basho Records are pleased
to announce the home viewing release of The Committee
for US distribution on DVD.

The Committee, starring Paul Jones of Manfred Mann
fame, is a unique and controversial document of Britain
in the 1960s. Avoiding easy answers, The Committee
uses a surreal murder to explore the tension and conflict between bureaucracy on one side, and individual freedom on the other. Unlike many films of the era that vilified the state as repressive, The Committee also explores the inherent weakness of the individual. Writer and producer
Max Steuer and director Peter Syke’s complex vision is presented with creative and often bizarre techniques,
placing this film firmly within the 60’s psychedelic
movement.

The musical score is a major element of this film. Written and performed by the Pink Floyd, the soundtrack is some
of the most intellectual music Pink Floyd has ever
produced, according to music writer David King. This
music has never before been released on any format,
and is a must for all Floyd fanatics. Also featured in the movie is Arthur Brown performing his hit Fire.

The DVD includes a CD of the Homemade Orchestra, a classical/jazz fusion group, performing the song The Committee, written by Steuer and Jones, as well as two other Homemade Orchestra tracks. The DVD also includes 50 minute interview with Steuer and Sykes who take us behind the scenes of The Committee. Oscar-winning documentary-maker Jon Blair conducts the interview and explores the fascinating and complex ideas behind the The Committee and humorously reveals the trials of making an independent film.
