These two libraries, for me, are real masterpieces in the early electronic genre. I was torn between these two and News! News! News! & Lost Star.
I'm cheating here and slipping a copy of Amore inside the blade runner gatefold, too tough to choose between these two.
Again, torn between these two Morricone, so cheating and taking them both.
This could really be any of the radiophonic workshop records, but this is the only one I own (I'm sure I had fourth dimension somewhere?) They are all equally worthy.This stuff was my very early entry into a deep fascination with soundtrack and experimental electronics.
Next, Queen Millennia represents my love for all things leiji Matsumoto, a relatively new admiration, for me it's a good OST, but also an awesome anime movie, as are all the other leiji Matsumoto movies e.g. GE999 etc...
So this is the grave of the fireflies image album, not OST, but still represents the film so well. The jewel in the crown here is a12 minute long opus by Masahiko Sato (of Bella Donna of sadness fame). I watched this film with my dad for the first time a couple of years ago, I'm a pretty thick skinned guy but damn! did I cry my eyes out watching this film. literally parts of the film were a blur through tears :D having a young daughter did not help one bit. The movie is perfectly captured in this image album.
Be warned this film can fucking traumatize you, so so sad, I was a mess for a good week afterwards.Possibly one of the greatest films I've watched but not sure if I could watch it again.
Next, I actually meant to put vol 9 of this Masoru Satoh collection, volume 10 may be my least favourite. This series of records sound amazing! and really the whole series of 10 could be here but vol 9 may be my favourite, 8,7,6,5,3,2,1 are also bloody good though. ;)
Tomb of Dracula is such a great record. I was hunting it down for some time and was so happy to finally get a copy, and then a few years later, get a copy with obi. I never get tired of this one, perfect blend of gothic melancholy and tight ass suspense funk jams.
Lastly this represents all these NHK 'library?' type records I recently.picked up. Made in the 60's they contain, in places, some really interesting and experimental peices of music. Music from musicians at the forefront of avant garde music in Japan at the time. Secretive, magical and mysterious.
I do plan to rip some of these just not had the time :(.

Oh and Ive forgotten exactly what it is, but I always really wanted that top right Japanese boot (one eyed cat). Remind me what it is please, and do you have a source?

I think i'm going to have to replace Poltergeist with my signed POTP. (Geritt Graham, Williams shot out of that screening like a bat out of hell haha) Its a tough call, but I get most of the Poltergeist stuff i want reprised in P2, and i like so much of that score more haha. I thought about replacing TGTBATU but i need a morricone in there and when push comes to shove its gonna be this one if its ONLY one.
But seriously though - no POTP??!
