Johnson's
first movie & soundtrack came into being through the recording
of a potential single called, Who is Number 1 ?,
a tribute to Patrick McGoohan's brilliant 60's
TV series, The Prisoner.
Later this became the soundtrack to the scratch video / movie called
Who is Number 1 ?
Put
together by Johnson in 1993, the movie was a raw and compelling
combination of images moving to the changes and dialogue of the
soundtrack, forming into statements related to the original Prisoner
series and the programme's innovative and timeless comments, mixed
with the movies own statements from a 1990's perspective. |
