Morricone Island, and WFMU in general, is terrific! I'll tune in on the morrow. Incidentally, there is a great, great Thursday night program on there called the Explorers Room. The larger focus is exotica and it, much like the aforementioned Morricone Island, is spectacular.

[ScoJo]

@mateo

Great stuff, will check it out! Loves me some exotica....

[bpwlogan]

Great interview and information on the film, score, and re-score of The Mask on WFMU tonight. I'll be looking to purchase the blu-ray soon. I really love the score and want to see the film. Also, looking forward to the double cassette release of Larva's mystery re-score work.

[ScoJo]

Thank you buddy

[ScoJo]

Hi folks...

Just a quick heads up - if there's anyone US-based who fancied a copy of The Mask - Soundtracks but hasn't yet picked one up, we've made some of the last copies available to our pals at The Ship To Shore Phono Co. They should have them in stock this week, available to order now with only $5 for domestic shipping:

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

NOTLD Pack Shot 1.jpg (232.22 KiB) Viewed 5461 times

Original live score to George A.Romero's 1968 zombie classic

• 6-Track LP, 45rpm
• Limited to 500 copies
• Includes digital download card
• 150g Transparent Neon Green Vinyl

MORRICONE YOUTH have been a solid fixture of the NYC music/film scene since forming in 1999, and have composed/re-interpreted and performed over 100 soundtracks live to film screenings.

Beginning a series of vinyl releases by the band, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is a superb re-score featuring original compositions by the band (led by DEVON LEVINS, host of WFMUs long-running soundtrack show 'Morricone Island') which range from eerie synth/guitar cues to full-on bangers that recall Fantomas in 'Director's Cut' mode. The album also features a couple of gnarly, synthed-up versions of iconic cues from the original library soundtrack.

To celebrate this release, Ondes Positives' artist Scott Johannsson has created a unique, one-off gatefold sleeve housing a test pressing of the album, featuring hand-cut window panes, 3D lettering, hand-painted effects and elements of the original sleeve art. The first 25 orders received will be entered into a lottery to win this artist edition to go alongside their standard LP.

Original live score to Lotte Reineger's 1926 animated masterpiece

The second vinyl release by MORRICONE YOUTH is this superb reinterpretation of Lotte Reineger's silhouette animation fairy tale - the first feature length animated film.

To celebrate this release, Ondes Positives' artist Scott Johannsson has created a unique, one-off gatefold sleeve to house the LP, featuring hand-cut silhouette images based on Lotte Reiniger's designs, glitter effects, a printed acetate window and elements of the original album art. The first 25 orders received will be entered into a lottery to win this alternate sleeve for their record.

Your exclusive sleeves look really great! And that tape from LARVA!!!! Can't wait for the 24th.

@Bez

Thank you mate!

[ScoJo]

Hey kitty kats...

Here's a new solo track, thought I'd share with you...

It's fairly banging....quite happy with it......

I might put it out as a super limited 7", let me know what you think....

It's kindof a film score cover....from an obscure 70s TV movie....

But I'm not telling you which one...

(Except to say....it's quite 'topical' ;)

Enjoy.....

Keen on this!

[bpwlogan]

Gave it a listen earlier this evening before I hit the streets for the night. I like it a lot. I'll be in for a tangible release if you drop one. Thanks for sharing. :)

[ScoJo]

Thanks fellas, appreciate yr thoughts...

[ScoJo]

Positives people...

Our first album release from the band LARVA drops tomorrow (Monday 24th Oct) - a deluxe double cassette edition of 69 copies, numbered and in bespoke 'storage pod'

In brief, it's an experiment in lo-fi minimalism which should appeal to fans of analogue synths, primitive Krautrock and early electronic film soundtracks. LARVA spent over a year recording improvised live music alongside projections of avant gard/experimental films in between writing and performing a new score for the cult science fiction film 'La Jetee'.

• Limited numbered edition of 69
• Two hours of music!
• 2x high quality ferric cassettes
• Ivory white tape shells
• Unique storage pod with ‘transparent layer’ design
• Printed tape wrapper on architect paper
• A4 insert on architect paper with background on the project
• Unique numbered ‘slide frame', with image taken from films used in the recording process
• Heat sealed outer bag

Sign up to our mailing list to get the first shout once it's live, and we'll be announcing a little later on social media etc.
And US folks, the album is being carried by our pals Two Headed Dog, check in with them tomorrow for the drop :)

@ SJ
Looking forward to this release. Does the heat sealed outer bag mean you cannot get the tapes without damaging that bag?
I can't see that bag on the pictures am I right?
That whole package does look stellar!
Succes with this release.

That's right man - you have to cut it open ;-)
