Biography

Solihull, Midlands (1959 – 1997)

Epic Soundtracks was the stage name of Kevin Paul Godfrey (23 March 1959 - 5 November, 1997), who was a British musician. He was brought up in Solihull, Midlands with his brother Adrian Nicholas, who was known as Nikki Sudden (1956 - 2006).

In 1972 Kevin and Nicholas formed the nucleus of what was to become the rock group Swell Maps, with “Epic” on drums and piano, and “Nikki” on guitar and vocals.

Epic later drummed for Crime And The City Solution and These Immortal Souls. As a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist he released three critically acclaimed solo albums and two more have been released posthumously.

Notable fans of Soundtrack’s solo work include Evan Dando and Thurston Moore.

    Very sadly missed - he was almost always at the same gigs as me. I fondly remember chatting to him at Music and Video Exchange with Thurston Moore discussing the band Television!

    oh he was so special. i adore his work, his simple but deep songs..as if they try to stop all the rush and speed around.. but i play him mostly on records, thats the best way Epic Soundtracks songs should come.
