Like probably everyone else with an internet connection, we have seen the trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 and one thing that really leapt out at me was the sound track.
If you are going to set a film in 1984, you can’t go wrong with a bit of New Order.
I thought I had a version of this song somewhere, but it turns out that I don’t and this discovery led to my wandering the dusty highways of Last.fm and YouTube and the discovery that there is a cover of Blue Monday recorded by Health for Atomic Blonde. This is one of the many films on my “must get around to watching” list.
But that’s not the point of this post. The point of this post is to mention Orkestra Obsolete, a group of masked musicians who have rather stunningly managed to perform the song using only instruments available in the 1930s. It really is incredible.

That’s great! What’s with the masks?

I have no idea. Looking around the interwebs, I found a few references to “the mysterious Orkestra Obsolete”, but I haven’t seen any explanation of why they should be mysterious.
