Fabio Frizzi - Puppet Master: TLR

A favorite from this past year. Stoked to land a test pressing which sounds thrilling in the headphones right now. I hear some strong cohesion in this album. The violins feel very Puppet Master to me, and keep bringing me back to the characters and storyline. Enjoying a few hours of post-holiday respite before heading back into the world.

Bruno Nicolai - Il Tuo Vizio E' Una Stanza Chiusa E Solo Io Ne Ho La Chiave ("Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key") [Dagored RED251]

Beautiful score and a bit haunting. The original poster art is something else.

A little late night listen at the witching hour:

Great spins @Deaf! Hope to join in with spinning time very soon.

John Carpenter's The Thing - Ennio Morricone, Alan Howarth, Larry Hopkins
BSX Records ‎/Notefornote Music ‎– NFN1005LP

I was hoping Waxworks release would be more on the line of this. Since I have an original MCA I may let my Waxwork edition go.

@Tim that really is an excellent re-recording isn't it? That’s become my go to for The Thing.

@static...yes, it really is. It will probably become mine also. And can be found at very reasonable prices. Seriously considering letting my Waxwork copy go.

@static, how is it? did you get the box set or individuals? On my want list, along with a bunch of others :)

A Monster Calls - Fernando Velázquez
At The Movies – MOVATM140

@Tim my wife got me the boxset for Christmas. Nice quiet pressings. Thumbs up from me! :)

This pressing sounds really good to me, and I am enjoying the alternate takes as an expanded album. Even the cover art is growing on me, which is also expanded on the insert. I have a small stack of these expanded Goblin reissues to grind through, and I just might be able to pull it off.

A Monster Calls - Fernando Velázquez
At The Movies – MOVATM140

Tim, I know nothing about this. Can you provide some color?

[deafmetal]

Now over to DWRC to check out @RedGoblin's expanded album. The rhythm section on this album is just on fire, and especially on Death Dies, always a favorite. Mastering sounds clean, but I have some surface noise on the first disc. Translucent red vinyl has been a miss for me lately it seems. Randy Ortiz's cover art for this album is the one of my favorites from the recent reissues.

Agreed.

Yeah how's Monster Calls? I've really been enjoying his score for The Orphanage.

@Jimmy_Mike and @texasvinyl.... I only got through the first album before having to leave for dinner but it's a really beautiful and haunting score. I've eyed it since seeing the movie (which I also recommend) back when it was released. It really stood out to me in the movie so when I can across it in a used record store I got it. It gets a thumbs up from me. I imagine you can find it on Spotify and/or youtube if you want to audition. I'm hoping to snag a copy of The Orphanage also sometime down the road.
