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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
― shameless pureyors of slop-on-plate (Jon Lewis), Monday, 23 June 2014 13:19 (nine years ago) link
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 thatbut mostly it was a great movie and the music was increĆble.

The OST to "The Haunting Of Julia" is dusty, synthy awesomeness
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 13 September 2014 03:41 (nine years ago) link
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.

Loving this mix by Terence Hannum of Locrian fame. 2014 one also has some nice underheard stuff (2013 his inaugural mix is mostly justifiably famous stuff).
