For those who’ve seen Extremely Sorry you’ll remember the Clay introductions, well if you’ve wondered how they’re created head on over to the Flip website for a look behind the scenes!

Rarely does a skate video have a soundtrack worthy of it’s own release but Flip’s Extremely Sorry is an exception, produced by DJ Baron it breaks the mold by using completely original tracks.

The stand out tracks for me are Stand By Me featuring Lemmy from Motorhead and Dave Lombardo from Slayer. It’s something you wouldn’t expect from Lemmy or Lombardo, but they do it justice, there’s some good twists to a classic and they’ve done their own thing without taking too much away from the song. Lead The Storm which is a decent track with an almost Muse – Knights of Cydonia feel to it. Love Shroom featuring Mack Winston a track with a good blend of guitar use and it has an almost orchestra feel to it. The End Of The Beginning featuring Black Mountain which starts with a intense bass line, it’s more twisted than the rest of the tracks and it has a real swagger to it, sounds almost like music from a nightmare. Burn Out Like Firefly’s featuring Sounder has a British 1990’s indie feel to it but in a good way. The Process of Extinction featuring Early Man is a brilliantly dirty track with a real Queens Of The Stone Age feel to it, it’s a classic rock and roll style song.

This album is a massive rainbow of different genres, there’s a cool middle eastern vibe to it, but it almost gets lost in the middle, it does come to life at the end and tracks 12-14 really do stand out. I would describe the album as a psychedelic head trip, a trip best heard when blended with the visuals that is Extremely Sorry, not taking anything away from the album but it doesn’t make as much sense without it. There isn’t really a bad track on the album and it’s certainly more interesting than anything you’re likely to hear on the radio at the moment. Defiantly worth a listen.

The soundtrack is released December 7th through Volcom Entertainment.

The soundtrack for Flip Extremely sorry is released on December 7th, read the full press release below:

Current skateboard films use old tracks that you most likely have heard before, Flip’s Extremely Sorry soundtrack is definitely one of a kind, produced in Southern California by UK premier league Producer & DJ BARON. Best known in the UK for his Drum & Bass productions and work with record label Breakbeat Kaos (Baron’s 2006/2007 tracks, ‘At The Drive In’ and ‘Drive in, Drive by’ both reached the #1 spot on the UK Dance Charts and his releases are featured heavily on Zane Lowe & Annie Macs Radio 1 shows), the soundtrack Baron has created for EXTREMELY SORRY instead features an broard array of musical styles that match each skater’s part in the film, crafting a completely unique audio/visual experience.

As well as BARON making some jaw dropping instrumental tracks, he also collaborated with Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Jim Lindberg (Pennywise), Mack Winston (Mack Winston and the Reflections), Black Mountain, ((Sounder)), Early Man, Snoop Dogg and Warren G to make a soundtrack that is as highly anticipated as the film itself.

From atmospheric soundscapes to industrial thrashers, the soundtrack covers an expansive spectrum of music and is stand out from start to finish. The highlights include a classic cover of Ben E. King’s ‘Stand By Me’ (ft. Lemmy Kilmister & Dave Lombardo), ‘The End Of The Beginning’ (ft. Black Mountain), ‘Ignition’, ‘Burn Out Like Fireflies’ (ft. ((Sounder))) and ‘Process Of Extinction’ (ft. Early Man).

Baron worked closely for countless hours with EXTREMELY SORRY director and star of the film Geoff Rowley, to score original songs that match up with each skater’s personal style, It was also Rowley who was the one who helped Baron initially connect with the skaters to legitimize the process with them as well as with the rest of the skateboard industry.

�EXTREMELY SORRY has been 4 years in the making and the most insane journey I have been on. The music was made to serve the skateboarding and the skateboarding is epic.” – Baron

Flip Skateboards was founded in 1991 as a vision to create a modernized skateboard brand, incorporating the highest levels of riders from all ages and genres. The Flip brand message has consistently been a representation of skateboarding’s off beat lifestyle and subculture.

Some of the world’s most legendary skaters are stars of the Flip team, as well as the next crop of ripping amateurs and sponsored riders from around the world. Flip is set to release their third video in the Sorry trilogy Extremely Sorry in October 2009. The soundtrack will be released by Volcom Entertainment on December 7th, 2009 and is sure to be the benchmark for all future skate films in both the scope of the music and it’s unique distribution collaboration.

You can check out a stream of the soundtrack on Volcom Entertainment’s website.

As the third official instalment of the Flip video timeline, Extremely Sorry has an awful lot to live up to. Does
this unruly mob still have the golden touch? Will Tom Penny produce a video part that stands up to his legend? Will Lance Mountain ever have his eyebrows plucked?

To kick things off, a tribute to the late Shane Cross, who whilst no longer in the realm of the living has a great part filled with lots of clever little animated touches that give this tribute an otherworldly appeal. A seam of clay-mation introductions and a bespoke dj soundtrack, which will polarise viewer’s opinions hold the rest of the video together. Personally I like them, they make Extremely Sorry distinct in a market full of HD tracking shots and reversed loops of pigeons and flowers set to the tones of last yeas indy hits.

Geoff Rowley, who at this time needs no introduction follows Shane’s more than respectable array of tricks with a glut of interesting, creative and down right suicidal manoeuvres, without wanting to give away the tricks too much; the ollie impossible seems to have staged a full comeback throughout the duration of Extremely Sorry.

Next we move on to Louie Lopez, who is the first of the Flip uber ams to come under our scrutiny, with an impressive array of block technicality and filthy street gaps and stairs is certainly a bright hope for years to come!

Following Louie’s impressive debut is Rodrigo Tx, Brazilian foot mathematician and former The Firm rider. Rodrigo sets the bar high for switch stanced trickery so high that I wonder if there is even a point in him having a dominant stance anymore. Super hard tricks done in lines and a pop that is not to be sniffed at adds another point to the tally of this videos high points.

Now, after a court jester like claymation segue comes the infamous Ali Boulala, who comes equipped with an awful lot of silliness and some outrageously scary antics set to a sleazy rendition of the pink panther theme, possibly a match made in heaven.

Bob, Bob, Bob, just what have you done to skateboarding? This isn’t an accusation of selling out; it’s a question of disbelief as Bob Burnquist simultaneously destroys his mega-ultra-hyper ramp and every brain cell used to calculate the sheer lunacy and difficulty on display. Simply unfathomable.

Luan Oliveria comes correct with a part that could stand toe to toe with PJ Ladd at his peak and come off the better. A flawless, interesting style storming through combinations and lines that would give lesser men a headache followed by an awesome-induced heart attack.

Sadly Luan’s obscene dexterity flows into possibly the weakest element of the video – Bob’s canyon stunt-work. Whilst visually impressive, it adds nothing to the video except a longer running time. But don’t let this put you off finishing the video.

Curren Caples fires off a segment of shorter sections, each of which impresses, a special mention goes to Willow’s laser flipping skills and Ben Nordberg’s casual lip tricks.

Rune Glifberg should be superfluous to proceedings due to the carnage seen in Bob’s part, but instead what we have here is a work of balls-out concrete park fun, a very different take on transition skating and entirely welcome!

Tom Penny, the man, the myth, with an insurmountable legacy, this part whilst entirely good and peppered with some good transition and manny combinations would never ever live up to the mystique cultivated over the years.

Lance Mountain has a part that is unlike anything from the last decade, filmed entirely in one pool and made to look like it has been shot in a single day it harks back to a perceived better time of the golden era Powell-Peralta videos. Whilst the skating is top notch it is the overall feel of Lance’s part that really leaves an impression.

The previous Flip efforts both had a common trait that Mark Appleyard’s parts were a highlight. This is no exception, Appleyard has a balanced slice of street action with a variety of stunts being laid down on all manner of objects, with the same natural casualness no matter how intense it gets.

And with the closing curtains we have David Gonzales who chaotically and compellingly shuts down every spot he takes with an unconventional but never forced feeling trick selection, his part is truly impressive as it leaves you feeling that he is truly capable of anything and that whatever comes next surely won’t be what we’re expecting. A part full of solid fast curve-ball skating and a fitting way to close a fine video. I can only finish this review buy saying that if you want to see it, then buy it as it is truly worth your hard earned cash, a well presented showcase of an alarming level of talent that never takes itself overly seriously, it can only be winner.
