After Extra Time (album)
Encyclopedia
After Extra Time is a 1996
album by Michael Nyman
with the Michael Nyman Band
containing three tributes to Nyman's fandom of Association football: After Extra Time, the soundtrack to The Final Score, and Memorial
. The latter is described as a remix
, but is simply the 1992 recording from The Essential Michael Nyman Band
. It was included in order to put it together with his two other football-inspired works (he has since written another: see Acts of Beauty • Exit no Exit
). The album lists only three tracks, which has caused it to be erroneously reported that Memorial is track 3 and the others are all hidden tracks, but Memorial is track 26. Therefore, a track listing, as the individual portions of the pieces are not named, is not useful. The three pieces were recorded at separate times and thus have separate personnel lists.
The title of the album is inspired by the way Nyman's wife's rare first name, Aet
, often appears in football scores, signifying "after extra time". The piece was written in two layers, one in 1995, and one in 1996, which could be said to represent two teams. The piece is also the basis for another work, "HRT[ High Rise Terminal
] ", which was included by Relâche
on their album, Pick It Up in 1997.

The Final Score is a 1991
film
by Matthew Whiteman from 1991. This is the original soundtrack, part of which previously appeared on the collection Ai Confini/Interzone. The documentary is about Nyman's favorite team, the Queens Park Rangers in the 1970s, when they were led by Stan Bowles
. Tracks 17 and 25 are the main and end titles, and all of the music is built on variations of a four-note bass line.
Nyman was in the process of composing Memorial when the Heysel Stadium disaster
occurred in 1985, and the dirge
-like work became to him immediately specifically about the 39 people killed in the accident. The album booklet contains a review of the original performance written by Waldemar Janusczak, which Nyman says "suggests the way in which the piece attempted in a small way to heal a wound Europe
saw as a consequence of the harshness of rampant Thatcherism
."
