As you might imagine, the Shredder Orpheus score is heavy on guitar/rock instrumentation. However, it's more in the vein of tribal, moody post-punk (a few songs remind me of Killing Joke) than metal or skate punk. There are a few snippets of dialogue, but they aren't overbearing. Initial copies came with a DVD of the 1990 film.

Slight word of warning - my brand-new copy arrived with major surface scuffs. They don't affect the sound, but it's still a little annoying.

Bruno Nicolai - The Case of the Bloody Iris OST [Finders Keepers FKR070]

Just unearthed a box of all 10” vinyl in the storage shed that I thought might have been lost/misplaced. Very happy about this.

An all time fave Deaf, good work. Would love a full LP of this one day (though tbf that main theme gets repeated use!)

Jealous of this one. Still don’t own it and prices are up there for a 10”…

I've been after that Nicolai for years, had a few ebay auctions slip out of my grasp and a few discogs orders fall through. One day. Wonder why Finders Keepers never repressed that or at least did a different edition.

Guy Skornik - Tusk OST

Fabio Frizzi - The Eyes of the Cat OST [Cadabra Records CADABRA-90]

Listening to this along with a read of the graphic novel. Quite the pairing.

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Blonde

I have not watched this but it's a hell of a score and highly recommend it to everyone


Eaten Alive

Finally got a copy of this boot. Only paid $18 I think for it? Not something I'll listen to a lot but the Hooper fan in me needed to have this

Nice stack of records @Inksb :-)

Now THIS is more like it, this feels like the waxwork of old. Weirdo little title, good art and layout, purposeful double LP, under seen and under exposed composer etc etc.

My mother, having forgotten a lot of the content of this film and mostly just remembering how nice the apartment was, showed this movie to me when i was perhaps a tad too young for it. not terribly too young but maybe another year or two would have been prudent. well, damage was done. Probably the grodiest of the satanic cycle. If Rosemary's Baby and the Exorcist were New Hollywood gothic auteur pieces, and The Omen was more of an old Hollywood studio schlock picture, then The Sentinel was the gasping drive-in mean-spirited cousin to those other three. A film that is, much like its director, a nasty piece of work but compelling nonetheless, with a central antagonistic performance by Burgess Meredith that to this day creeps me the hell out. Not to mention the legitimately exploitative ending sequence and the layer of slime over every interaction, this is a film that leaves you feeling more than a little off at the end, with a cast of supporting actors so absurd when seen today that many of them would easily break the budget of this film many times over.

The score itself is an eerie and compelling listen, and my copy sounds pretty clean for one of the busier splatter designs. GIl Melle doesn't get a lot of love for his scoring,, and i myself often gloss over his work, limited that it is, but this one is a delight from side to side. classier than the film by far, but with an undercurrent of camp that plays nicely as a solo listen even without the nightmarish and skeezy images it's associated with. Who doesn't love a sinister oboe one in a while.

Now let’s get some liner notes in these releases again and we'd really be cooking! (I charge very reasonable rates for copy I'm passionate about if any of you label heads still lurk around here lol)

Edit: speaking of this absurd cast, I’m rewatching the film right now and forgot the Richard Dreyfus is literally an extra standing on the street at one point early on for about a second and a half, and Goldblum is BAFFLINGLY dubbed.

I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of The Sentinel. I've known of it for a long time, but have never taken the time to actually watch the movie. I'll check it out. maybe today. Nice write up, Hatter.
