Forever grateful to @ScoJo for introducing me to this one:

I am going to find a copy of the 45rpm 12" single for mixing.


Check out the acetate!

Love at First Bite! Good stuff @deafmetal. :)

Still obsessed with this tune:

An interesting version recorded here from the Barbican concert with the additional string ensemble. The version I've heard performed in the US is a bit more raw and stripped down with the smaller band, and just a bit closer to the original drum machine/synth track. I do like the additions of the electric guitar and vocalist quite a lot.

Here is the original film version:

Fantabulous!

See you in six hours.

@Vapor - Careful, that might alter your DNA.


Stylotone prices aside, one of my favorite 45's.

Finally picked one of these up at MondoCon:

I like Becky Cloonan's Medusa artwork on the reverse, and the castle map on the inner gatefold. I have heard this was sourced from a curated soundtrack album, rather than straight from the original Konami game rom. Either way, the nostalgia factor is cranked up to 11 for me. I'm looking forward to what they do with the series, but it will likely be a long road to Symphony of the Night:

For those of you who owned the PS1 game, did you ever put the game disc in a CD player to hear the hidden bonus track?

[texasvinyl]

Nice! Played both of these 45s in my Halloween set!

[texasvinyl]

War movie, but it has lots of bossa sophistication & Edda Dell'Orso vocal. It's a good one I need it to put me in a better mood...

[texasvinyl]

One of my favorite Mondo releases to date. We definitely need more ass kickers like this. UV spot varnish effect on the bullet ricochets looks dope too.

[texasvinyl]

Revisiting an old favorite, how good is this record?!

Thanks to @Dollarhyde for the inspiration and random good luck on this one:
Excellent OST, with some proggy disco jazzfunk tunes that just rip. Also, some lovely orchestral pieces as well, including a very Italian-sounding number with wordless vocals. The concept art on the sleeve and insert is top-shelf:


Recommended!

@deafmetal: this 198X is driving me crazy! just put a voodoo spell on you now...

[deafmetal]

Third listening session already:

Very addictive and enthralling.

[ScoJo]

This is an amazing score/sleeve/choice of release. Just one of many reasons from the last year that I'm actually considering the sub this time out (even tho I'm generally not a sub kinda guy... WW just seem to really hit me where I live, and with uncanny regularity.

I'd love to get the 12" but sadly it's an 8min edit of the monster 12min full track - I just couldn't live with dat!! ;

[deafmetal]

@ScoJo - That single-sided acetate has the whole shebang. ;} Surely a rare find though.

^Wow, this sounds incredible. One side in and it's already knocking me out. So varied, playful, and just masterful. Stoked to have this one.

The splatter vinyl sounds perfect to me. A very lovely release by Death Waltz:

[ScoJo]

Where is my goddam Evelyn? Isn't it about time she hauled herself out of the grave and shagged ass over to the UK??

Yeah, that acetate. MMmmmmmm......

Currently listening to get me in mood for day of video editing:

I have been saving this one for a special night:

Nearly 3:00am on a fog-shrouded night... Holy Dread!

Xibalba beckons...

[deafmetal]

^The morning after follow-up....

Listening to The Fountain is something of a religious experience for me, and last night was probably one of most enjoyable private listens I have ever had. The pressing sounds unbelievable, even on this ridiculous splatter/haze vinyl. In the foggy darkness of the night, I was transported far away to another realm.

I have been following Clint Mansell's creations ever since his electronic breakbeats stood out for me on the Pi soundtrack back in the late 90's. I know his material is not for everyone, but I find something magical in the mix that hits all the right notes for me. As much as I love Requiem... and Moon, this album is the one I return to the most and strikes the strongest emotional response. Every time I hear the climax of Death Is The Road To Awe, whether in headphones, in my car, within the film, or even from Clint's band performing it live, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I find it electrifying if not something like pure exultation in music. The screening of the film at MondoCon is fresh in my memory, and I remember sitting there in the dark with my eyes closed while the final piano solo plays over the end credits. What an experience, and I could not be happier with both the event at MondoCon and this beautiful vinyl album they have released.

@deaf, nice to see another 33/45 set united.
That track 'Dancing Prism' is such a tune! I'm very tempted to try and source a copy of this anime to watch 'Future War 198X', seems it may be a little relavent with the changing global/political landscape.

Also,

Fly by Night! so that's that record from the DFN, added to the wants list.

[deafmetal]

@Dollar - There seems to be a German DVD available on ebay and elsewhere. I would like to check it out as well.

This album has been getting multiple spins. Cheers to all involved:
