The song, subtitled “\u003cem\u003eA Garden of Personal Mirrors\u003c\/em\u003e”, was written in 1968 by the film’s marketing strategist \u003cstrong\u003eMike Kaplan\u003c\/strong\u003e. Kubrick proposed it immediately following an unsuccessful pitch by \u003cstrong\u003eMGM Records\u003c\/strong\u003e, who wanted to release a single to tie in with the film, and amid reports the Beatles were also writing a song. Presented by Wave Theory as a historical release, \u003cem\u003e2001: A Garden of Personal Mirrors\u003c\/em\u003e adds a new chapter to the film’s mythology.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis limited edition 7” vinyl is infamous in the annals of film music history for the way that Kubrick abandoned \u003cstrong\u003eAlex North\u003c\/strong\u003e’s original score in favour of classical and popular pieces that have become synonymous with the movie. Following a digital release last year that caught the imagination of the film’s fans, Wave Theory now release a limited edition vinyl that will give the opportunity for soundtrack aficionados to own a piece of movie history.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMike Kaplan explains, \"The Single's intent was to capture the different responses 2001 was generating from audiences and the media, the many levels of interpretation and appreciation, from its hypnotic visuals to it's metaphysical illuminations. We also wanted to instil curiosity among audiences who had not yet seen what was becoming a cultural phenomenon.” Co-founder of Wave Theory Records \u003cstrong\u003eDan Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e said, “Attempting to write any music for Kubrick would be a daunting task, as Alex North — and now we discover Mike Kaplan — were both to discover. Both of them are examples of the complex creative interactions that Kubrick’s films distilled.”","brand":"Wave Theory","offers":[{"title":"7\" - Clear Vinyl","offer_id":41753884950689,"sku":"SDZ-23915","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/products\/Mike-Kaplan_-_2001-A-Garden-Of-Personal-Mirrors_-_Clear-Vinyl_-_7_-inch-vinyl.jpg?v=1648309139","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/mike-kaplan-2001-a-garden-of-personal-mirrors-ft-naomi-gardner","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
