interesting motion picture soundtracks

Death Waltz has THE LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE & PRINCE OF DARKNESS LPs up for pre-order. Thought about ordering both but just went with L.D.; cover art on P.O.D. isn't very appealing. Probably should have waited on black vinyl to save a couple bucks. L.D. is one of my fave films.

Mullholland Drive

i'm gonna top up on these already mentioned ones, cos they're my faves:

texas chainsaw massacre -- not much music, but just the creepy klonks+screeches ripped from the movie itself, a fabulous bootleg worth trackin down

into the void -- not officially released, but a torrents is out there, great collection of electroacoustix + just a few teknobloopers

asha bosle, mohammed rafi, lata mangeshkar, geeta dutt etc all that great "classical" india stuff is superb!! find this one: "golden voices from the silver screen" vol 1-3... i have cdr copies from turku library's cd collection (they were scratched + fucked up to start with so mine skips also here+there, goddam!!)

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.

I bought two 3-cd boxes of "Bollywood Music for beginners" at a truly reasonable price. I have some compilations since earlier as well. I especially like it around the funk/disco era and also the flirtations with hippie culture in the 70's. I do especially like just that precise thing - how they often take western hits and just warps them into something so incredibly... weird.

Kwaidan, just watched this today in honor of Halloween. Brilliant sound design. Traditional Japanese instruments used in non traditional ways. Lot's of field recording type sounds; creaking wood, running water, distorted breathing, metal scraping. Overall atmosphere of dread and otherworldlyness conjured very successfully.

Eraserhead....for it's 'plain noise' value
i can easily digest dark but tacky '70 prog bombast, but maybe this topic is not the right place.....

Interestingly, Lynch, with Alan Splet, took a VERY quiet noise, a public domain recording on file, one intended to be subliminal; "early morning presence" and turned it up...wa-ay up!

Another cool thing about soundtracks is the director-himself-noodling-with-a-synth subgenre, exemplified famously by John Carpenter and his theme in 5/8, and the even scumier style ov Hooper in "Eaten Alive" although Glen Larson's theme from Nightrider is pretty fucking awesome.

Details on the contents,etc.: http://www.trulydisturbing.com/index.php/2013/01/31/finally-house-left-soundtrack-resurrected-vinyl/

Mondo will be releasing POLTERGEIST (found info on Truly Disturbing).

[ConcreteMascara]

Mondo's Poltergeist came out last Friday. Not sure if there are still copies available directly from them or not.

Also, I read that Death Waltz is doing some super-deluxe reissue of Carpenter's the Fog with both the soundtrack and all the original musical cues. Apparently the release will be separate from the subscription stuff.

Found the Poltergeist msg in the trash; guess I didn't read it & just deleted it. I like the movie but do not need the sndtrk.

I'll definitely preorder The Fog- one of my fave movies & the sndtrk is excellant.

ye i can live without poltergeist soundtrack...too sweet sounding for me, not rotten enough . Also heads up on death waltz record store day exclusives ( spencer is the main man behind it) loads of ltd 12"/7 "'s!

RE Death Waltz, I kinda wonder why I did the second subscription series when all this other shit is gonna be released outside of the subscription. None of this shit is cheap, especially here in the States.
