Wednesday Music List.
As a sort of coming attraction to the Claudio Simonetti convention story, this week's list:
Ten Favorite Horror Film Themes from Goblin or Argento movies:
Suspiria(Goblin) - Bells, jangly keyboards, Claudio whispering menacingly, a brief ELP-style rockout, and more jangly keyboards.
Mater Tenebraum (Keith Emerson, Inferno) - Actually done better by Claudio's ringer band, Daemonia, this is a great piece with a chorus intoning pseudo-Latin evilly while Emerson cranks away on his keyboard.
Profondo Rosso (Goblin) - Also done better by Daemonia, this is Proto-Goblin, from the first soundtrack they did for Argento after changing their name from Cherry Five. Very straight ahead Prog-rock.
L'alba Dei Morte Viventi (Goblin, Dawn of The Dead) - Argento was a producer on Dawn, and brought his favorite band in to do the score. The European cut replaces some of Romero's beloved music library cuts with Goblin, but all versions have this track and the next one on the list. This is a slow, loping track that has a nice keyboard break in the middle.
Zombi (Goblin) - This is the theme to the movie, per se, and it is a much harder, keyboard-heavy rock theme.
Buio Omega (Goblin) - The theme to Joe D'Amato's reprehensible Buio Omega (Beyond The Darkness, Burial Ground) is more of the same, but well done with a hint of disco to the prog.(The CD release contains a full on disco remix.)
Patrick (Goblin) - The theme to Richard Franklin's Aussie shocker is a creepy straight ahead rock track, not so heavy on the keyboards, with a jangly guitar sound to it.
Tenebrae (Simonetti, Morante, Pignatelli) - The pseudo-Goblin album showed a tendency towards Tangerine Dreamness, but is still one of the better 80's slasher movie themes.
Phenomena (Goblin, supposedly, more likely Simonetti by himself) - More Tangerine Dreamness, with keyboard vocals and a driving theme.
Demons (Claudio Simonetti) - Once you hear this, you can't get it out of your head. I hadn't seen the movie in years, but when Daemonia started playing it at the convention, I was like, "Hey, Demons~!". Keyboards, guitars, and synthesized vocals that make a theme that seems like it should be in something other then an Italian horror movie.
The Cult-Con story is coming. I promise.
