SATAN'S SLAVE - 1976 - CUSTOM SOUNDTRACK


















 If you worship 70's British horror (and lets face it; if you don't you really shouldn't be here), then you'll already be familiar with Norman J. Warren's 1976 masterpiece SATAN'S SLAVE.
With bewitching locations, a truly excellent cast, superb score, and an occult script by Pete Walker favourite and exploitation film legend David McGillivray , you just can't go wrong.
The soundtrack has never had an official release, so I've created a 30 minute mixture of music taken straight from the film.
Perfect for Necromantic rituals, or killing your wife by mistake.
* Dedicated to my fallen friend, J. Matias Aaltonen;
 who would have loved this, but left us far too soon*

The Fiend [Beware My Brethren] [1972] Custom Soundtrack

Firstly, I should explain that this film is a big favourite here at the cottage.
British horror has been my lifelong obsession, and The Fiend has a hugely impressive pedigree:
Patrick Magee, Tony Beckley, jaw-dropping misogyny, sinister 1970's atmosphere, and an incredible soundtrack... it really is a dream come true.


















Many of the wonderfully twisted British horrors of the 1970's have had their soundtracks released; but not this gem. And so, I present a comprehensive exploration of the sounds, music and dialogue, all mixed together into 39 minutes of unsettling magic.
I make no apology for including Patrick Magee's religious rants, as I could happily listen to him read the telephone directory aloud. His speeches throughout this film are pure gold.
You can look forward to some lovely murders, and confused ramblings from the excellent Tony Beckley.
The songs are also dangerously catchy, so be prepared to have your mind invaded.

The Feast of Satan [1971] Custom Soundtrack


A friend asked me to make a custom soundtrack for José María Elorrieta's 1971 film: The Feast of Satan AKA Las Amantes Del Diablo.
The original music was provided by
prolific Italian composer Carlo Savina; and is a wonderful mixture of creepy pipe organ, oddball lounge moments, with a few surprises thrown in.
As usual
, sections of the score were impossible for me to capture without including dialogue from the film, but I prefer it that way and so make no apology.
Be sure to look out for the evil sorcerer throwing a hex on the lead singer of a groovy bar band. A nightmarish demonstration of his Satanic powers, I'm sure you'll agree.

Ghost Story (1974) - Custom Soundtrack




















Stephen Weeks' masterpiece of British supernatural cinema GHOST STORY disturbs you from every angle imaginable. A constant assault of dreamlike cinematography, a classic haunted house story, sublime casting, and stunning locations make this an unmissable gem. Marrying all these elements is a twisted, eerie musical score from sonic wizard Ron Geesin (famous for his large body of experimental solo work, and an acclaimed collaboration with Pink Floyd on their 1970 album Atom Heart Mother).
For reasons unknown to me, his excellent soundtrack for Ghost Story was never released, so I've attempted to mix together all his music from the film. Once again, some dialogue has inevitably found it's way onto the recording, and as usual, I feel these vocal spectres add to the mood.
So turn out the light, lock the doors, and stoke the fire;
this one will haunt the hell out of you !
