The double album vinyl release includes the original soundtrack and an EP of new ‘Reimagined’ songs plus bonus tracks available on streaming services. Marc Chesterman has charged the talents of outstanding NZ musicians to create new music, including Charlotte Yates, epsilon-blue, Scott Mannion and Mimi Gilbert. Each song was inspired by the soundtrack and music of the film 'Woodenhead'. Each artist had an open brief with freedom to pursue their own diverse ideas. Thus, 'Woodenhead Reimagined' has come to life. Two of NZ’s most respected music critics, Nick Bollinger and Grant Smithies, have supported the project...
“Back in 2003 I reviewed Marc’s original Woodenhead Soundtrack album for the general population in The Sunday Star-Times. Listening back to it now it still sounds quirky, fresh and fun, taking you into a unique world of its own. Couple this with an album of remixes created ever so thoughtfully by a bevvie of underground hipsters - well you’ve got me listening there Marc.” (Grant Smithies)
“This is a wonderful project that will bring Marc's own excellent and innovative work to fresh ears, along with new music by some of New Zealand's most creative musicians.” (Nick Bollinger)
