interesting motion picture soundtracks

[Scat-O-Logy]

Yes, U.S. DVD  releases use to come with cd soundtracks. Without checking, I think Nekromantik 2 (or maybe it's Schramm ?) has a cd with it; Blue Sunshine, & the Pinky Violence set. I've got Nekro. on a couple of records too.

I have a couple of cool Italian cd collections of giallo & crime music that come with mini-lobby cards. I have the cd for All the Colors of the Dark which is one of my faves; I'd love to have it on vinyl.

I'm hoping The Fog shows up tomorrow but it'll most likely be on Monday or Tuesday.

That's really cool, would be very useful if every DVD release came with a copy of the original soundtrack. Most of the giallo soundtracks has only CD version available even though demand for vinyl is obvious. To my knowledge Nekromantik was never released as DVD+CD set but Schramm was. Found the info from Discogs. I only have "Nekronology" which includes pretty much all the tracks Hermann Kopp composed for Buttgereit's flicks. Really good record if you ask me!

I checked the trailer for All the Colors of the Dark just a week or two ago and it seem very promising and the score sounded very nice indeed. I was about to buy the film from Amazon but it seems to be quite rare these days, as you can see from here. Fucking £129.61!!!

I haven't ordered The Fog yet since I'm kinda broke at the moment and also because Carpenter's compositions haven't really grown in me just yet. Sounds sick, right?! :D

By the way, didn't see this mentioned here... Edward Artemiev's scores for Andrei Tarkovsky's artsy pantsy films were reissued by two different labels just recently. The Russian pressings can be purchased here (Non-OST version of Solaris), here (OST version of Solaris) and here (Non-OST version of Stalker). US version of Solaris can be purchased here (OST version). Superior Viaduct will release an US version of Stalker as well but with a slight delay.

Here's some shots of the non-OST versions of the soundtracks:


Confusing, right?! Cool?! Fuck yes!!!

Nekro.2 2-disc set from Barrel Entertainment has the cd with music from both films. They also released Nekro. & Schramm in the U.S. They were set to do Der Todesking (I have a PAL rel in a metal case & necklace) but went out of business due to right's issues over something else, I think. They were going to do Angst also, which, may have been the issue.

That's insane over the All the Colors... dvd! Glad I have it; it's one of the best releases from Shriek Show- it has an amazing slideshow in the extras. I think I still have a PAL Reg. 2 dvd of it too. I don't need it & would sell for a reasonable price. Drop me a line if you're interested.

There is also this rel. for Nekro.: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Nekromantik-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/master/241991

It's  worth it just for the cover art. Back when the film originally came out on VHS in Germany, I knew the guy who was the first person in the U.S. to import it so as an extra, he received a  Nekro. pic disc 7". He then had the PAL tape transferred to NTSC & sold dups to various people. It had terrible, tiny Engl. subtitles you could barely read.

Thanks for the heads-up on those Edward Artemiev US pressings.  Everything about those films is top shelf.

Oh, I see what you mean. Well I don't know shit about US releases anyway so maybe I shouldn't pretend I do, haha! I got "burned" like they say. I hate all that copyright crap they put over every release. I know it has it's purposes but comon, fuck off! Angst would've been amazing, STILL haven't seen that one!

Like I mentioned few posts back, I'm kinda broke at the moment so I'll get back to you when I have some extra dough. Would really like to grab that from you. By the way, I'm still looking for that Brown On Ebony tape, have you found it from your archives?

Oh yeah, I checked that release just yesterday while searching for info. I really like the art but how about the music? Don't remember the soundtrack on the films that well, only the ones composed by Hermann Kopp. 30€ is kinda salty price but I guess one has to pay to get quality...

I guess Nekro would look quite nice on VHS, the grainy quality would fit the film perfectly.

I'm looking for that Nekro 7". I guess it's pretty much impossible to find under 50€ and there's no way I'm gonna put that much money on a single. Not that much of an obsessive collector... yet, hah!

Thanks for the heads-up on those Edward Artemiev US pressings.  Everything about those films is top shelf.

No problem, really excited about those. Wasn't very proper of me to call these as "artsy pantsy" films because like you said, they are "top shelf". Me and my bad jokes...

[bitewerksMTB]

I would think the music on the Nekromantik 7" would be from Kopp? I didn't pay attention. For the music, the LPs are best. I'd only want the pic 7" for the awesome art but not at any collector price.

The All the Colors... dvd will be here. It's German, I think but is in English or has Eng.subs. It was the first region 2 dvd I bought when I got a cheap player I could program a code in to get it to unlock. It died so now I have a much higher end player that plays anything (dvd) without any hidden codes. I haven't moved to Blu-ray yet.

I think I did see the Brown on Ebony tape not too long ago so I have a general idea which box it's in.

Evilspeak dvd arrived but no fog.

[Scat-O-Logy]

In case we're talking about THIS, then there's only one track by Kopp and other four by some random guys, namely Daktari Lorenz and John Boy Walton. The 7" is definitely more of a collector item since one can acquire the 12" for "only" 30€ where the 7" would probably cost at least 50€.

Does the film have German covers? Not really fond in those... But on the other hand, since it does include Eng dubs & subs, I guess it's alright. Really excited to hear that you finally spotted that BOE tape, I want it bad!

Just checked the trailer for Evilspeak and it seems "bad" enough to be good. I know this isn't the movie thread but I would like to recommend Straw Dogs from 1971. Not as cheesy as Evilspeak but really good nevertheless. HERE'S the trailer. Sam is one cool mofo, a mix between Herbert West from Re-Animator and William Foster from Falling Down, hah!

Hopefully The Fog will show up soon. I actually listened the whole soundtrack the other night and it is quite good. Some of Carpenter's compositions are too "poppy" for me but that one sounded pretty nice.

[Zeno Marx]

Evilspeak is gloriously terrible.  Fun.

John Boy Walton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hul05RaFjzA

Evilspeak is classic '80s horror. Satanic pigs, animal sacrifice, evil computers, & one of the greatest decapitations EVER!

Peckinpah is one of my fave directors. The Wild Bunch & Straw Dogs being my favorites from him.

German covers? You mean, like a hardcover book? If so, then no. Regular dvd cover. I do have a few of those hardcovers releases. I kind of like them.

[Scat-O-Logy]

Thanks for the John Boy Walton link. Sounds... like it should... I guess.

Fucking hell, I fucked up. I was referring to Dustin Hoffman character, David, when I was talking about who he reminds me of. asfsadbflsdbghs

Hmm... I actually meant does is has German writing on the cover... Those hardcovers are quite sought after and very nice indeed. I don't have any of them but have seen pics. Not really into paying more than 20-30€ for a film and to my knowledge those can go for hundreds(?!)

THE FOG 2LP showed up. Super, sturdy gatefold sleeve. Looks really nice. Giving it a spin later tonight.

Another vote for Eraserhead.

Also, "The Shining".  I enjoy about 3/4's of what I've heard by The Caretaker, a music project influenced by the reconstruction of the ending song (Midnight, The Stars and You, sung by Al Bowlly) in that movie.  It's hit or miss but the hits are great in a creepy, dark ambient sort of way.

And this is most certainly cheating, but Lustmord's soundtrack to "Zoetrope" is a favorite.

Pre-orders for Waxwork's "Day Of The Dead" begins on Aug 27.

This release features, for the first time ever, every musical cue used in the film (over an hour's worth of music). Our source material for this release were the original 1985 master tapes. The tapes were restored and re-mixed by composer John Harrison (Creepshow, Tales from the Crypt, Tales From The Darkside) and mixing engineer Michael Farrow (music scoring engineer of The Big Lebowski, Cabin Fever, Hostel, Halloween, Where The Wild Things Are). The score was then re-mastered for vinyl by former White Zombie guitarist, J. Yuenger.

Day Of The Dead will be a 180 gram 2xLP limited release on Cream Yellow Marble vinyl (Sides A & B) and Military Green Marble vinyl (Sides C & D). All housed in a heavyweight old-school tip-on matte varnish gatefold jacket with spot UV gloss finish.

There will be only 300 variants of Zombie Flesh and Blood vinyl available exclusively through the official Waxwork Records web store on Tuesday, August 27th.

The full LP package artwork and layout (front and back cover, inner gatefold art, inserts, and center labels) has been created by Jay Shaw.

This limited release features essay length director notes from "The Godfather Of Zombies" himself, George A. Romero.

This release will also include an 11×22 replica of "THE DEAD WALK!" newspaper article from the opening credits of the film. The newspaper article was re-created by Jay Shaw and includes essay length composer notes from John Harrison.

LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT is up for pre-order from Light in the Attic for the U.S. & One-Way Static Records. I'm surprised the lim. colored vinyl was only $21. I was expecting $25+ just for black.

After this, One-Way Static will be releasing THE HILLS HAVE EYES! I don't remember the music but it's another fave film of mine.

[Scat-O-Logy]
