MUSE brings their Simulation Theory tour to life in this limited edition 80s-inspired deluxe box set. The box set includes a pink/blue marbled LP with selections from the band’s September 2019 performance at London’s O2 Arena housed in a gatefold jacket, a VHS-like box containing a HD 5.1 DTS Master Audio Blu-Ray of the film, a fluorescent pink cassette of the film score written by Matt Bellamy, a Marvel Simulation Theory comic book and an 11×17 Marvel Muse poster. Each box will have metallic foil packaging.

Based on the story and themes of their 2018 album ‘Simulation Theory‘, the movie has been teased as the Devonshire trio’s own version of Pink Floyd’s legendary The Wall. Their acclaimed live show for the record 28 countries and played in front of more than 1million people, with their show at London’s O2 Arena in September 2019 filmed for the new project by director by Lance Drake, (who also directed all the promo videos for ‘Simulation Theory album’) and produced by Muse, Pulse Films, Lance Drake, Jesse-Lee Stout and Matt Bellamy. As well as capturing the band’s performance, the film also “follows a team of scientists as they investigate the source of a paranormal anomaly appearing around the world” and is described as “blurring the lines between narrative and concert film, virtual and reality”.
The goal for Simulation Theory was to capture the scale of the electrifying live show and to expand upon its connection to the DNA of the world we built for the past three years in music videos for Muse,” said Drake. “In a strange turn, the film’s alternate reality eerily started to mirror our own.”

Speaking to NME earlier this year, frontman Matt Bellamy said: “It’s a cool film set in the ‘80s sci-fi world of the last album.

MATT BELLAMY (MUSE) – ” Tomorrow’s World “

Muse’s Matt Bellamy premiered his brand new solo single “Tomorrow’s World.” As you can probably guess, the song was inspired by the Coronavirus Quarantine, and as Bellamy put it “this song captures my mood and feelings whilst in lockdown”. “Tomorrow’s World” marks Bellamy’s second solo release, following “Pray (High Valyrian)” taken from the Game Of Thrones soundtrack last year.

Fans of Muse’s older material should be pleased with this solo effort, as it captures a bit more the piano-led earlier material that Muse used to deliver before they really took off in the mainstream lens, at least stateside. If there is a man/band that knows how to soundtrack apocalyptic feelings, it’s Bellamy.

Bellamy had this to say about “Tomorrow’s World”:

I have been reminded of what really matters in life and have discovered growing optimism, appreciation and hope for the future,” said Bellamy. “The song title comes from an old BBC TV show called Tomorrow’s World, which I watched as a child in the 1980s and always enjoyed the wild futuristic predictions of what life would be like now.

It all seems rather lovely, comforting and naive in retrospect and reminds me that none of us ever really know what the future holds.

“Tomorrow’s World” is out now.
