Trip City was the first British multi-media novel, originally published in 1989, with an accompanying five-track cassette of original music composed for the book by A GUY CALLED GERALD - who was racing up the mainstream charts at the time with VOODOO RAY.
For its 25th Anniversary, Sean McLusky's 1-2-3-4 Records is re-packaging and re-issuing Trip City for 2014. This landmark collaboration will include a re-edit of the novel by Trevor Miller - now a successful Hollywood filmmaker - a new forward by the DJ/Producer/Artist David Dorrell (of MARRS 'Pump Up The Volume' fame) and the original AGCG tracks digitally re-mastered, plus new music composed for the project by iconic artists, including Paul Oakenfold.
To celebrate, WeTransfer is giving its global audience a chance to download a never-before-released track by Oakenfold from the Trip City soundtrack. This give-away is not only part of the Trip City pledge drive, but a pay-it-forward gesture from Oakenfold and the team at Perfecto for their 'Vote for Paul' campaign in the DJ Top 100 race.
Additionally, this collaboration will see fresh design and packaging for the new book/soundtrack created by Ditto Press, and showcased exclusively on WeTransfer's full-screen backgrounds.
The new release is being crowd funded on PledgeMusic's Trip City page, with three launch events taking place at the Ace Hotels in London, NYC and LA in November 2014.
