I am a bit familiar with this score, IMHO it's pretty generic,slightly cheesy euro-synth stuff(this might be down to personal preference/taste)
Calling it "One of the most beautiful European film scores ever composed" however, no matter how much one might personally like this score, puts it in the same league as Huppertz' "Metropolis" ,Jarre's "Lawrence of Arabia", Prokoviev's music for Eisenstein's movies, Sarde's "Quest for fire" and works by Schnittke,Delerue, Barry, Morricone, Vangelis, Preisner and many others, which is really no contest.

Haha... Yes, I guess if you drop names like that then its hard to compare. You make a good point sir.

Yes it is a personal fav of mine, so I'm a bad jugde on this.

And you sir, are a very good sport in light of me probably being pedantic.
By the looks of it there are many more people delighted with this release, and I sincerely hope you all enjoy it!

[legnadibrom]

NOW UP FOR PRE-ORDER!

One Way Static Records is really proud to be bring you their latest release, A release where we had the chance to work with iconic director and writer Jörg Buttgereit!

Today we present to you the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Jörg Buttgereit's 1987 'NEKROMANTIK' composed & performed by DAKTARI LORENZ, JOHN BOY WALTON & HERMANN KOPP.

The Nekromantik score displays the dynamic ability and range of the composers. It strikes a perfect balance of beauty, horror, joy and dissonance. The score is both minimalistic and hauntingly atmospheric at the core, and yet remarkably complex at the same time.

Don't be fooled by earlier releases that are mere compilations of 2-3 Buttgereit movie scores put together. This release is the complete & EXPANDED 1987 soundtrack (17 tracks) for the first time on vinyl & cassette!

Available on the following versions:

DELUXE COLOR VINYL EDITION packaged in a deluxe Tip-on Gatefold Jacket with printed insert. Comes on Sperm & Blood Splatter Vinyl and Smokey Clear Vinyl. The variants are inserted randomly and are limited to #500 copies each worldwide. They come sequentially foil numbered (2 series of /500). Comes with a BONUS 7" EP containing five extra bonus tracks. Also included is a BONUS limited playable flexi postcard exclusive to the color vinyl edition. This postcard contains a cover of the Nekromantik theme by Norwegian Black Metal band Carpathian Forest.

BLACK VINYL EDITION packaged in a deluxe Tip-on Gatefold Jacket with printed insert. Comes with obi-strip. Classic Black Vinyl limited to #500 copies worldwide. Comes with a BONUS 7" EP containing five extra bonus tracks.

CASSETTE EDITION limited to 300 copies worldwide with alternate artworks. Contains five bonus tracks. #100 copies of those come in a special hand-numbered bag.

Sounds awesome!!! Thx in advance

Dat cassette cover...

The gatefold looks really nice especially the inside imagery but I'll be waiting until much, much closer to the release date to order.

[Jimmy_Mike]

Forgive my crude question, but is the corpse sporting a rager?

[strictlywayward]

If I remember correctly, it's just a broken-off broomstick handle with a condom on it. When I think of this movie, I think of that scene, so I think it's cool that OWS went balls-out again with the packaging. Disturbing movie. I think.

[Jimmy_Mike]

So, just a raging Steely Dan? Wow.

While we are on the topic of filthy stuff, anyone seen Salo? How's the score?

[Frizzle-Frizzi]

Im in.and already ordered (2 copies) shame on me

[dumaisaudio]

Cool that it's getting a release, but listening to the samples, this one doesn't do it for me.

[bitewerks]

I have the Criterion dvd set for SALO along with a French release (no English anywhere). I wish I had ordered the UK release with the Coil video- I confused the Criterion rel. with the UK & ended up ordering the wrong one.

A gatefold for SALO would be pretty amazing. Lots to choose from for horrific imagery!

I gotta be honest i'm not a fan of the front cover artwork.

[seb]

Thanks all for the massive ordering… W O W !

Cheers

[Ignatius]

Good to hear it's selling well.

Just hope the limited doesn't sell out in the next few days before I can get my order in. Is it just me or is the Nekro gatefold somehow even more obscene than the (limited) Cannibal Ferox one?

[boothaevens]

Really like the artwork a lot!

+ Carpathian Forest, wow yeah!

I second this. It's just not very pleasant to look at.

Would have loved to rather see the iconic "video nasty" cover that everyone is familiar with. That would look much better ( of course, just my opinion) hanging on the wall in full display within the listening room.
