Bloated Slutbag

Anyone remember this industrial-disco "classic"? Not a soundtrack, but may be of interest to fans of Blue Velvet. The whole set of lyrics consists entirely of Dennis Hopper one-liners from the movie. Either way, funny shit:

Michael Nyman's OST for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover is one of my favourites and has worked its way (partially) into something I've been working on.

Taxi Driver is great too, for sure and of course, Eraserhead.

Wedding Trough AKA The Pig Fucking Movie is a 70s Swedish arthouse oddity with a really bizarre garbled organ soundtrack with lots of tape manipulation. Eri Eri rema sabakutani actually features noise as a plot point as well as soundtrack and has Masaya Nakahara of Violent Onsen Geisha in a prominent role!

I remember having The Pig Fucking Movie years n' years ago when the xerox horror zines made it sound so outrageous but I was disappointed. Mostly because it wasn't trash like I expected. I wanted to pick up the dvd but didn't want to spend the $30+ for something I may only watch once.

Wish these fucking Fulci LPs & Possession would show up SOON.

Enter The Void looks great I am still at a loss as to why I have not yet seen it.

Night of the Living Dead soundtrack is perfect and I also like to put that film on with just the audio playing. Really like the use of "emergency broadcasts" thru out the film.

Eraserhead soundtrack is pure industrial soundscapes and It is also its own perfect atmosphere, cold and dismal by itself.

Dawn of The Dead soundtrack is flawless despite having some like children's music box muzac parts, the tension slowly builds in that music and it never gets old.

Goblin and Dario Argento's work together creating the very specific scores for his films may be one of the most overlooked aspects of why his work has earned so much critical acclaim.

Hermann Kopp's synth work on the NEKROMANTIK & DER TODESKING soundtracks is fucking excellent and I love it. I know many people here are probably fan's of those films, but I am adamant about them, I love nekromantik for its look, feel and most importantly its sound. Malsonous' sub label Aesthetic records has a vinyl LP gate fold of Kopp's music for these films, can't recommend this enough: http://www.discogs.com/Hermann-Kopp-Nekronology/master/201792

PHANTASM soundtrack needs no connotation whatsoever.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Apocalypse Now REDUX soundtrack is an exercise in "the days when electronic music was laboriously performed with Moog, Arp and similar computers."
Synthesizer – Bernard L. Krause*, Don Preston, Ed Goldfarb (tracks: 11, 12), Nyle Steiner, Richard Beggs, Shirley Walker
Synthesizer [Assistant] – Andy Narell
Synthesizer [Master] – Patrick Gleeson

THX-1138 soundtrack had two components, a musical score composed by Lalo Schifrin and an abstract electronics based score by Walter Murch, who also helped to conduct the original Apocalypse Now soundtrack. THX1138 soundtrack is one of my favorite listens ever, aseptic sound environment. Walter Murch's sound masterpiece is THE CONVERSATION

Mondo Cane soundtrack LP is great too.

furthermore,

+1 for The Andromeda Strain & Last House On Dead End Street

The Shining soundtrack, the part when Jack is attacking the bathroom door.... and the zoom in on the 2 men copulating eachother

Spent quite a portion of time lately listening to soundtracks

There seems to be tons of fascinating Bollywood soundtrack material, I know hardly nothing about it. Really like tracks sung by Asha Bhosle, so fluid voice. Any other recommendations? This track is great, still remember my astonishment when heard it for the first time at hotel in Dhaka:

Have for various reasons been exposed to shitloads of Bollywood hit songs, and some of them are actually pretty good - much like a lot of Japanese pop music, it's a bizarre mirror of various euroamerican styles of music. Especially the vocal melodies can be great, almost resembling the harmonies of early YES and similar. Seems that the 40's through to the 70's where the golden age of Bollywood music, a lot of it becoming commercialized & synthesized later on. Their use of reverbs and other studio effects is insane at times. And of course a lot of influences from traditional Indian musics.

The intro of this is amazing - guitar sound is raw as hell! Reminds me of early FURZE 7"s... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1rAsrjAeU0
Mainstream as hell - this is one of the most

The Kronos Quartet did an album with Asha Bhosle that you'd might like to check out, guess it's their reworking of her classic songs. Most Bollywood music is of course obnoxious mainstream pop.


Saw an old episode of Inspector Morse the other day from 1987, the music was surprisingly experimental and obtuse in the scenes I saw. Composed by a Barrington Pheloung (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006224/). Haven't looked for it on youtube but I'm sure there are at least scenes available.

just gave it a spin : i'm not 100% shure about that part but i think it does....memory hazy, haven't seen the movie in years :-(

BUT it's an amazing piece of art, dark synth, Kopp-like eerie violin, lots of really weird percussion etc etc....will spin a lot !
