Have you heard Zombi, that band on Relapse that more or less pays tribute to Goblin?

Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Friday, 26 May 2006 15:57 (6 years ago) Permalink

Zombi totally sounded like Goblin on "Cosmos", but not so much on "Surface to Air" (the new one). It's like a fuckin' disco record.

Goblin had their disco days as well. And after leaving Goblin, Claudio Simonetti ranks somewhere in the top 10 of euro-disco producers.

Zombi are good because they sound like Goblin. Goblin is the greatest band of all time. Until the 80s stuff then they were the worst band of all time.

How do the Cinevox reissues stack up against the Japanese King Records ones? There's an amazon review claiming a notable difference (in the King versions' favor) but I'm not convinced. Surely Cinevox would have better access to the master tapes, not to mention their round of releases are much more recent?

Oh, and not Goblin-related really, but Fabio Frizzi's score for The Beyond and Riz Ortolani's for Cannibal Holocaust are some of the best Italian horror soundtracks out there.

telephone thing, Saturday, 27 May 2006 19:55 (6 years ago) Permalink

The King ones are generally mastered better than the Cinevox ones - and the Japanese get the covers right, too. Always looks like the Cinevox ones are on a really cheezy "Budget" series. And "side one of suspiria > everything else they did" ... I think it's side two of Suspiria > everything else they did! Goblin started out being called "Cherry Five", also on Cinevox.

So Ho La (So Ho La), Tuesday, 30 May 2006 12:54 (6 years ago) Permalink

The Cinevox versions (at least the MDF series ones) are good in terms of having other tracks, but are generally a mess - on "Notturno" there's a really loud digital click in one of the tracks that really should have been caught before the CD was pressed. "Buio Omega" seems to have been mastered from tapes that are at least a generation from the masters - some of the pieces are the identical takes to pieces that came out at the time on the "Contamination" album, only the splicing is slightly different (not as good) and the sound is worse. (some of the pieces unique to "Buio Omega" appear in much better-sounding versions on that first American compilation called "Greatest Hits, Outtakes, something or other" on DRG). The film version of "Lesbo" on "Tenebrae" is identical to the album version, except maybe from a different source tape and missing the intro segment. At least one of the alternate versions of Claudio Simonetti's "Phenomena" theme (I can't remember which as I don't have any of the CDs with me) is exactly the same as the album version except with a few bars spliced out. There's some tape damage on either "Patrick" or "Zombi" that doesn't appear on the earlier LP versions or the SLC CD versions. The last track on "Profondo Rosso" is the same title music as on the album except it's recorded from the film soundtrack and so has additional yucky noises. Who needs that? I'm not sure what they were thinking. It's a weird feeling, because I seem to know what's on the tapes better than they do, and I'm just some guy.

I think it's the first song on that Reale Impero Brittanico album that sounds like they were replicating Van Der Graaf Generator's arrangement of "Theme 1" - Pashmina, you should hear it because you may laugh.

The new album is really good, if anyone's interested. The guitar and drum sounds are close to those on "Nonhosonno", but overall it's less dense-sounding. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the All-New Marangolo-Pignatelli Rhythm Explosion which this album isn't, but I'm guessing a lot of the sound has to do with how it was made, built up with ProTools in different studios (and countries), allowing them room instead for some nicely detailed writing and arrangements. The opening song "Victor" is a surprise, as it's entirely by Maurizio Guarini with a pretty convincing keyboard-simulated orchestra. He writes really well, and I'm glad he's back. "Japanese Air" is similar in a few ways to "Jennifer" from "Phenomena" and would be included on a Greatest Hits album if I were to make one.

Just picked up the Goblin volume in Cherry Red/El/Bella Casa's film music series (The Fantastic Voyage of Goblin: The Sweet Sound of Hell), and HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS "Le Cascade di Viridiana." Not from one of their soundtrack albums but from Il Fantastico Viaggio del Bagarozzo Mark, which I have no choice but to pick up now. Huge, soaring ridiculous prog-rock that reminds me of the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas album in places.

Here's a question for the Goblin experts. About a decade ago, maybe longer, I heard a wild CD of Goblin tunes done circuit house style - lots of slammin' dance beats and really energetic overall. I got the impression that this was a remix job. not something Goblin was involved with directly. Anyone know what this might be?

Well, that's gotta be it. But I could've sworn I heard it as early as 1994 because the guy who played it for me was pretty much out of my life by 1998-9. Maybe he wasn't. Heard some clips online which were very techno. The ones I remember were very house, very gay. But sheesh - how many Goblin remix collections could there be?

There is really nothing else in movies like watching an Argento film and that crazy organ and drum music starts up and you know someone is going to die.

I've got the DRG Collection Their Hits, Rare Tracks & Outakes Collection 1975-1989 but it's not as good as hearing it in the context of the films.

"Anyone care to re-visit this one? I'd like to know more about what's good here...also anything else in Italian horror music. Thanks!"

The Cherry Red comp is an excellent overview of Goblin's career.
Morricone did more than a couple of very good horror soundtracks back in the early 70's - check among the others "Il gatto a 9 code", "Una lucertola dalla pelle di donna" and "Gli occhi freddi della paura" (a total avant-garde/ psych jazz assault). Also, Fabio Frizzi (who scored Fulci's The Beyond - Zombi took a lot from him too) and Riz Ortolani (Cannibal Holocaust).

I've been on a massive Goblin kick recently (music is funny that way, when you hear a sample of something you know used in another piece, and you *have* to go listen to the original instead.)

It still totally works, even separated from the film - but, you know, you have to like your mad Euro-prog. Suspiria is just... man, sometimes I get scared a bit listening to that on mine own late at night.

Goblin have just finished. It might have been because the sound had been mostly set up for doom acts all weekend, but if anything I could have done with it being less heavy, and with more keys. In other words, any suggestion of them being lightweights is WAY off the mark. Anyone going tomorrow is in for a treat. New stuff sounds totally like Zombi, by the way. I know, snake eating its tail and all that.

Saw their first comeback gig in Austria a few months ago. I didn't know their stuff and I have never seen any Argento films, so I was coming to them cold and I was distinctly unimpressed. To my ears they sounded like a poor man’s Genesis (a group I love), their widdly guitar and keyboards got on my nerves after a while as did the watery and pedestrian melodies.

anagram, Monday, 27 July 2009 08:28 (3 years ago) Permalink

See Suspiria. If you can't see it on the big screen, jack up the volume as hard as the neighbors can take it.

I imagine Goblin aren't very good at being Genesis (though they are from the prog era) - maybe they pulled out a different set for a Doomster audience?

Soukesian, Monday, 27 July 2009 11:43 (3 years ago) Permalink

Set was surprisingly Suspiria light. Centred mainly on Profondo Rosso, with a couple of tracks from the latest album and the main theme from Zombi. Really not much guitar widdling at all, spiralling keyboards kept low in the mix. New stuff in particular has some real blasting guitar, just single tone blurts across it like a doom/dirge outfit (although not as minor key).

I loved them at Supersonic. Highlight of the weekend for me I think. I was also coming completely cold; never heard them before, only the most layman's conception of what they are like, but I was mightily impressed. They were so incredibly tight and polished and the sound quality was amazing. Nowhere near lightweight either.

Not Goblin, but Black Hole - an Italian band hugely influenced by Goblin that recorded a wonderfully naive psych metal album back in 1985.
Hilarious English pronounciation, sub-basement sound quality and a couple of great horror rock songs: as good as the best Paul Chain.

Marco Damiani, Thursday, 20 January 2011 16:09 (2 years ago) Permalink

A review from the Corroseum site:

It's a common misunderstanding that BLACK HOLE play Doom Metal. They don't, they play DOOOOOOOOOHMMM! In case you don't know the difference between Doom Metal and DOOOOOOOOOHMMM!, let me explain: Doom Metal is basically a rather tastefull slow version of classic Heavy and/or Epic Metal with more or less 70's SABBATHical vibes. DOOOOOOOOOHMM! is the cobweb on your mommy's tombstone, the disturbed little boy dissecting kittens in the basement, the creepy crawly thing that ate the monster under your bed... Needless to say, DOOOOOOOOOHMMM! kick Doom Metal's ass. BLACK HOLE could not have come from any other country than Italy. Although highly unique, many musical parallells can be drawn. The DEATH SS/Paul Chain comparison is obvious, but BH beats them silly simply because they write better songs. You can tell they have worked alot on the construction of the pieces to create that perfect mysterious glow, and they've managed to do so without making the music more complicated than necessary. Strange, psychedelic guitar effects and keyboards are used in plenty without them loosing any of their heaviness. The primitive, surrealistic graphix and the weird bandphoto, set in a mourge with the band standing over a child coffin adds the final touches to make "Land Of Mystery" one of the most eerie and original records in Metal history. The only other bands I know that occationally came close to this sound where LESTER MADDOX, PAGAN ALTAR and ICE CROSS (the coolest and most evil early 70's band ever)! Are we in the mood now? Right then, let's talk songs: "Demoniac City" is kind of an oddball. A mid-paced NWOBHMish song which isn't really doomy in a traditional sense. On first listening it is a minor letdown and definitely the weakest song on the album. However with it's eerie production and original vocals it sets you in the right mood. The song grows with every listening and makes the journey into the fiery pits of DOOOOOOOOOHMMM!-music a little easier on the senses. Trust me, you'll be thankful for that easy start when the mighty "Land of Mystery" hits you like 10 tons of rotting body parts on your sorry arse. Pure Power Sludge! Epic D...-riffing and a mighty chorus that will make Stoner fans weep in despair. After this hit song we go into the deepest heart of BLACK HOLE dementia: "All My Evil" is an orgy in skeewed and crooked harmonies & riffs, very offbeat, very ghoulish and very, very good. "Bells Of Death" is not a DEATH SS-cover, but it could be. "More fun than an open casket funeral..." as The Accüsed so elegantly put it. Another unusual twist is that the B-side surpasses the A-side in greatness. "Blind Men and Occult Forces" - what a genious title for a D...-track. It's like a long, slow and slithering walk down into hell, and suddenly when the chorus comes you are pushed over the edge into the fiery pit by unseen hands. Burn, baby, burn.... "Spectral World" is perhaps my favourite track. It's the slowest piece on the album and with it's psychedelic vibes, maybe the least metallic, but the harmonies are midblowing and totally wins you over to the dark side. The last song is an istrumental. It starts off in the same psyche mood as the song before, but gets heavier at the end and it kinda makes you think those classic METALLICA-instrumentals like "Call of Chtulu" or "Orion" ...if they had been recorded back in '69 in a Transylvanian opium den, that is. Almost 10 minutes long and never a boring second. Main man Robert Measles recorded a second BH album in the early 90's, "Living Mask", which was released a few years ago on CD. Unfortunately it's a disappointment. Here he uses a drum machine which he really doesn't master. At its worst moments it sounds alot like the first album by the infamous DAMIEN STORM(!). The CD is still worth checking out because of the '86 "Angel of Lucifer" demo that is included. The title song is one of the band's greatest moments and well worth the full CD price.

You should check this album out if you like your Goblin, Jacula, Antonius Rex etc.

cover's great, but the music isn't quite doing it for me. some good ideas, but few memorable riffs or hooks, and there's an exhausted quality to the whole thing that keeps me at a distance. maybe i'd like it better if the youtube quality wasn't so shitty...

I'm kind of into that, actually. have been listening to dwarr and these clips have a similar lo-fi, homemade epics quality to them. (not the youtube compression but the production in a broader sense.)

(⊙_⊙?) (Alan N), Thursday, 20 January 2011 21:28 (2 years ago) Permalink

was thinking of dwarr while listening to black hole. similar vibe and lost-in-time appeal. and i guess you could say that some of dwarr's stuff sounds "exhausted," too, but not in quite the same way. dwarr has that miasmic, despairing atmosphere, but there's an energy and tension to it that keeps me hooked. didn't get that from black hole. just felt like they were trudging through the motions, with some good ideas but little personality. but i dunno. i've spent the last half hour reacting negatively to REM and armond white, too, so maybe i'm just having a day...

normal_fantasy-unicorns (contenderizer), Thursday, 20 January 2011 21:48 (2 years ago) Permalink

oh, totally. well put, and by the same token, I have a big tolerance for this type of sound and find it hard to be critical. I just love the idea of weirdo loner bands like bathory and dwarr using the rudimentary tools they have available to make things sound as BIG and DRAMATIC as possible. sure, black hole fall short of those guys, but I can still get with the vibe. ymmv.

(⊙_⊙?) (Alan N), Friday, 21 January 2011 17:29 (2 years ago) Permalink

"dwarr has that miasmic, despairing atmosphere, but there's an energy and tension to it that keeps me hooked. didn't get that from black hole"

As a big fan of Dwarr, I agree completely but, just like Alan said, what makes Black Hole interesting is their insular/ dilettante-ish quality.
Obviously they couldn't rock, operated in this sort of void that is the Italian "rock" scene, still they came up with this weird, morbidly liquid atmosphere - very much the aural equivalent of one of those Lucio Fulci movies, where you can see awful and beautiful sequences edited together almost randomly.
Despite the English lyrics, there's a truly Italian feel in this music and I'm just sorry bands like these have been forgotten and didn't have any real followers.

ps Jacula and Antonius Rex are the brainchild of the same guy, Antonio Bartoccetti: again esoteric obsessions, some prog leanings, super slow proto-doom metal riffs with laughable spoken words and some surprisingly clever touch.
Paul Chain was the guitarist of Death SS: his first EP "Detaching from Satan" is excellent, lo-fi psychedelic metal with lyrics sung in an invented language. Definitely less Jandek-like, but still weird.

This is the kind of thing you have dreams about after watching too many fringe olympic events late into the night...

Apart from this one - no. I think using this thread for all Goblin related discussion is a good idea. Continue.

i've had "tenebre" stuck in my head for DAYS and i was trying to purge it, but has this live video been posted here? i genuinely wonder what it would be like to be in a room full of goblin fans. what would it even look like?!

Mix of hipsters, old prog dudes and speccy film nerds at the London gig a few years ago, is what it looked like.

Was it a good show? Was the crowd invested? Was there moving/grooving or did people just kinda stand there?

Yeah it was great, apart from a few few dodgy numbers from their new album but hey. Even the drum solo was good! Audience were grooving more than you usually get at prog shows, for what that's worth. There quite a few Hoxtonites there though, so they were grooving somewhat ironically just to be on the safe side.
