horror soundtracks

I think we are all doing the personal calculus on our odds of attending, if only briefly

Remastered, expanded DRESSED TO KILL soundtrack (Pino Donnagio).

On a similar note, Kritzerland just encored their Carrie remaster, lopping off the second disc, which was iirc just the crap Ryko disc minus the sound clips?

20% off sale at LaLaLand ends this morning at 11:50 pst. Lots of great horror stuff, of course. I would put in a word for Shirley Walker's Willard.

i like what death waltz is doing but tbqf i hate the cover art.

i mean, i don't hate the art itself. i just don't think it works for the albums. i guess it's just not in my visual aesthetics wheelhouse.

Haven't downloaded it yet, but hopefully it includes the haunting strains of Torgo's Theme.

Not horror but since Barry de Vorzon is well known to devotees of the genre: la la land have just released an expanded remastered cd of his awesome score for The Warriors.

solaris from superior viaduct

two versions of that came out at the same time on the same label, which is a bit odd... also Stalker.

grrr, url mangled by parser...

oh, that looks different again... and a different label.

Lol I just sent MP3s of both those to an ilxor for their bday a couple if weeks ago. Great stuff.

Great stuff!! Sounds like the quiet side of Agalloch in parts!! Also noting this as an example to tell my sts about gender neutrality/singulars & plurals and pronouns.

I did that on purpose to protect yr identity!

(That use of 'their' usually gets on my nerves)

I believe it's a thing that's changing about language. I'm alright with it. It's difficult to explain to sts though!!

I mean I prefer that use of 'their' to a cumbersome 'his or her' or a presumptive 'his'. Idk.

Agree! It's useful, which is why it should be widely acceptable.

Big horror sdtrk news round my way is the new kritzerland reissue of Jerry goldsmith's Poltergeist II The Other Side. This has been on cd two times before but the critical diff is that for this one they worked from the analog session tapes rather than the digital master prepared circa the film. And it makes a world of difference, to the extent that I now consider this an essential 80s goldsmith where before I didn't rate it much. The warmer, richer sound picture integrates the bizarre synth filigree with the orchestra more continuously; the synths sound more at home than on the brittle, glare-y previous editions. This is not on the level of the first film's score, duh, but I love it now. Unfort this edition of 1500 sold out in a couple of days but it's probably out there in DL land.

dbl cd of salem's lot

Kept meaning to post that itt. In stereo too, unlike a lot of television scores from its era!

prolly due to the planned european theatrical release

Yeah I should have said, remarkable that the stereo elements even survive when so much stuff from that era exists only as mono mixdowns...

holy shit! alan howarth performing tonight in brooklyn

Fabio frizzi tonight in London too.

Frizzi show was at least partly awesome, if you ignored the ballads anyway.

death waltz putting out some carpenter stuff on cassette - bummed that the assault on precinct 13 is already sold out

http://experimedia.net/index.php?main_page=index&typefilter=record_company&record_company_id=1209

Just got the expanded 2cd of the fog this week as it happens. Disc 2 is amazing. Also Alan howarths rerecording of Assault On... which is gorgeous.

Good news, De Wolfe's CD of Paul Ferris' WITCHFINDER GENERAL score got listed again and this time it actually came out and people have it! Only on Amazon UK so far. Hurray!

oooOOOOooooo!

It's a really good listen in a Greensleeves + classic Hammer music mode. Not many scores I can think of that inhabit this specific crossroads.

Important update for LL and other eMusic members-- Witchfinder General is on there now for 6.99! (Though I hear the booklet notes are really great but still tbh I'm prob gonna go with the download).

Been HUNTING this, I even contacted Joel Martin via an acquaintance to see what was up.

Vinyl release confirmed? as it was going to be a limited release a few weeks after the CD

IDK about vinyl but people have definitely received their copies of the CD.

Fearless Vampire Killers aka Dance Of The Vampires vinyl / CD package is out now :

idk if a field in england counts as horror but the soundtrack is top notch and it's pretty/scary
who is jim williams?

also the cover is a+
http://www.6dft.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/afie.jpeg

I had the same reaction to that movie as I do with some horror movies, so

I need to see field in ennngggland

Is j williams the same guy who did the soundtracks to sightseers and kill list? Those were nice cues mixed in with selections from the kosmische songbook.

i have no idea -- i couldn't find anything else about him aside from this sdtk, which is REALLY GOOD -- it has a tiny bit of the western vibe like Richard Thompson's Grizzly Man sdtk + PV on Herzog (mostly the latter + a little Upstream Color so basically it sounds like a top notch Herzog movie)

also the emusic version doesn't have a 48 min track that's available on amazon, so i have no idea what's up with that
but mostly it was a great movie and the music was increíble.

Sightseers used actual vuh and Harmonia tracks along with original cues, I think director Ben whatshisname is a krauty England's-Hidden-Reverse-y fellow

Frizzi back at the Barbican for Halloween:

I'll definitely be going, having missed him last year.

I was going to bump this thread the other day to state for the record what an unmitigated masterpiece Henry Mancini's score for Lifeforce is.

The OST to "The Haunting Of Julia" is dusty, synthy awesomeness

i really feel like there should be a search and destroy devoted to death waltz/mondo and other similar horror soundtrack reissuers. there are so many of them and they sound so good thanks to the hyperbolic dusty groove style blurbs that inevitably are on the packaging. like i know a goblin soundtrack is a good bet, or the steve moore soundtrack to the guest, or john carpenter and tangerine dream.

anyway it could probably live here too and i'm sure a close reading of this thread would provide the answers i am hoping for.
