Night Runner: Thunderbird LP (Deluxe edition)

night01

I’m still here.. Just realized that it has been way too long since the last update. Let’s start with this one I got from Poisoned Mind Records few months ago. Second full-length from Night Runner. Thunderbird is the title of the album. I missed Night Runners debut (deluxe version) year ago just because I took few beers too much, passed out & missed that dlx version.. Would like to thank Poisoned Mind for the copy I got for free (pink/black splattered version) later with other order.

So I was quite awake with this second one and scored deluxe version (sold out quite fast). Don’t know what have I done because I also got another copy (clear w/  black & blue splattered version, see picture below) included. And for those who don’t know, Night Runner is mixing synthwave with other genres like jazz, metal, soundtrack etc. Awesome package, I love this but you don’t have to. Vinyl versions of this release are long gone. Recommended album if you get your hands on this.

Terrortron: Orgy Of The Vampires LP

AA_terrortron

After that crushing Bell Witch album it’s time to ease your mind with some synthwave by Terrortron. Got this album last week and it has been spinning several times by now. Really like this album, seems that I like most of these synthwave/soundtrack albums released lately. Anyways, I really can’t say what it is that fascinate me about this genre, maybe it’s just those old horror films I grew up with and soundtracks on those films. I’m really happy to add this LP to my collection, you should do the same while you still can. Limited to 300 copies and still available from Terrortron’s BandCamp site.

Mika Vainio: Mannerlaatta 2xLP (clear)

Mika Vainio - Mannerlaatta

Few months ago I purchased Pan Sonic’s soundtrack album for Mika Taanila’s film “Atomin Paluu” and here we have another soundtrack for another film. This time we are talking about Mika Vainio’s (other part of the Pan Sonic) soundtrack for Taanila’s new film “Mannerlaatta” (A Tectonic Plate). Well, this is minimal, electronic & experimental, what else we could expect? Yet another masterpiece from this pioneer of minimal electronic music. Taanila’s film is a feature-length Lettrist film, made entirely without a camera and who else could have done soundtrack for it than Vainio? This clear version of the vinyl is limited to 250 pieces and still available from Boomkat. Nice work, like always,

Jóhann Jóhannsson With Hildur Guðnadóttir & Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe: End Of Summer LP (silver)

Jóhann

Soundtrack for the film, End of Summer. This record arrived few weeks ago but I haven’t had a time to listen it until now. And it sounds.. beautiful, in my opinion. Thing with these soundtracks is that you either like them or not, it’s that simple. I bought this for a reason, and I really like these soundscapes. There is this version on silver-colored vinyl (limited to 200 copies) and regular black wax version available. Boomkat seems to have some black copies available, Anost still have both versions.

The Demon’s Rook: Soundtrack LP (test press)

teepee02Even though I have promised to myself that I wont buy any soundtracks.. now and then I just have to make some exceptions. I bought this from Poisoned Mind Records (only 4 copies sale for public) few weeks a go, soundtrack for some film I haven’t seen. But hey, I listened some tunes from this record and I got that feeling.. you know, I was forced to purchase this one. I just don’t know what it is with these soundtracks.. why in hell I choose this when there’s still 9 copies (at this very moment I’m writing this) of that awesome looking limited edition left..? Burden of a manic record collector. Anyways, once again great release from this little record company, Poisoned Mind Records. Go for this while there’s still copies left.

Wolfmen Of Mars: Gamisu LP (TP)

wolfmen of mars

Fantastic record from this instrumental synth-space-horror-stoner band! Even though I’m trying to avoid purchasing test pressings.. I just had to have this one and once I got a chance.. result can be seen on the picture above (there were only 3 copies available for public). Poisoned Mind still has copies on black vinyl /w green splatter & prism cover available (at this moment there are only 2 copies left), why didn’t I purchase that too.. ? Well, anyways this record sounds awesome and I really love it.

Nightcrawler: Strange Shadows 2×7″ (on shaped vinyls)

strange

Then some darkwave electro-synth into your darkness. I really like these 80’s’-like synth/soundtrack/electronica releases. Oh boys & girls, these tunes reminds me of those ridiculous horror movies I use to stare at my friend’s home.. (at 80’s we got black/white TV at home and surprisingly no VHS player.. ). Fantastic release and  nice looking vinyls indeed. This is limited to 500 copies and if you are interested, you still can grab a copy for example from hhv.de

Egisto Macchi: Nucleo Centrale Investigativo LP (on white vinyl + 7″)

nucleo

And another awesome repress from Cinedelic, outstanding “Nucleo Centrale Investigativo” from that same gentleman, Egisto Macchi. Soundtrack from some Italian police TV series from 1974.. Hell yeah! Action music as it says on the label of that seven-inch. Experimental/abstract/classical music.. from 1974 (damn, I wasn’t even born yet). Limited to 400 numbered copies and 100 of those are pressed on white vinyl. Available from Cinedelic (quality release indeed).

p.s. Cinedelic also knows how to package records for  shipping, I really appreciate that!

Philip Glass: Candyman [Original 1992 Motion Picture Soundtrack] LP (clear yellow)

candyman

Candyman, candyman, candyman,candyman, candyman… Picked this up from the post office earlier today. I never ever thought that someday I’ll find myself buying soundtracks.. like I do nowadays. This I had to have just because this film caused me numerous nightmares, sleepless nights and for some time I was afraid of mirrors.. hey, that was years and years ago (here I am trying to convince myself..) Hahaaa :)

This is released by Light In The Attic and limitation of this one goes roughly; 500 copies on silver mirror, 500 copies on  bee striped, 1400 copies on black vinyl and then there is this  transparent yellow version (Clive Barker exclusive, surprisingly sold out) limited to 100 copies. Horrified soundtrack and at least regular copies are available from various places, Light In The Attic, One Way Static, Boomkat & Norman Record for example..

David Holmes: ’71 (Original Soundtrack) LP

71

Woah.. quite impressing soundtrack if I may say.. I have said that I’m not that big fan of soundtracks but now I have to take back those words, once again. This soundtrack sounds very darkened, hopeless and brooding. In other words, awesome! I really hope to see this film in near future. If I remember right, this is limited to 1000 hand-numbered copies, but my copy came with some handwriting by Holmes himself on the cover (well, these copies were available via Touch Sensitive but are sold out now). Copies without writing on the cover available for example from Boomkat. Highly recommended record!

Ennio Morricone: Le Foto Proibite Di Una Signora Per Bene OST LP

ennio

Hahaa.. and more of these repressed Morricone soundtracks.Never really thought that I find myself listening these twisted soundtracks. I always thought and had this fallacy of Morricone composing music only for some strange Italo westerns.. damn I have been so wrong (more shame on me). But hey, this world is filled with music, good awesome tunes, and there’s no way I have time or chance to hear even 0.00001% of it in my lifetime. Yes, I’m glad that I did purchase these two. Gonna purchase some more in near future. It has been announced that limitation of this repress is 500 copies.. is it true or not, actually I do not care because music is what matters. This seems to be available from different stores around the globe. Recommended.

Angelo Badalamenti: Music From Twin Peaks LP

twin peaks ost

Bought this years ago, at the time Twin Peaks was shown first time on television. If I remember right I paid about €1-2 (current currency) from this record (discount price at the time when CD records took over). Brought this with me few days ago from my childhood home (been gathering dust about 20 years on my mom’s record rack). Nowadays this record seems to be some kind of collector’s item, or maybe those Discogs prices are high because of the fact that Death Waltz is going to reissue this one along with “Fire Walk With Me” soundtrack.. who knows.. The fact is that I can still find this with price tag of €1-5 from flea markets etc. Oh, and surely this is one of the best soundtrack record from the most bizarre TV-series, ever.

Eduard Artemiev: The Mirror / Stalker LP (OST)

stalker

I spotted this release on Denovali’s distro and decided to purchase this with those labels own releases I have already written about on this blog during last few days. So many times I have said that I don’t care that much of these soundtracks but it seems that I have to take back those words. And about this record, beautiful (surprisingly). This was must buy for me because of Stalker (one of my all time favorite films). I do not know about limitation of this but it’s still widely available, for example from the Superior Viaduct (US). Classic.

Eugenio Mira: Timecrimes LP (milky yellow / clear)

timecrimes

And this soundtrack I purchased via Discogs (with decent prize of course). I haven’t seen the film but I like this soundtrack a lot. Once again quality release from Mondo (and sorry that I did not purchase this from Your webstore, I just didn’t want to gamble between two color variations). Mostly,I appreciate that Mondo is releasing soundtracks like this one. Now I have to find this movie to watch.. damn!

DRCARLSONALBION: Gold LP (sky blue)

gold

This came today and right now as I’m writing this post, the record is spinning on the background. As a soundtrack this sounds quite good, nearly heavenly. This is what I like the most of these soundtrack works. And as we all know Dylan Carlson is involved with The Earth, so for me this is “hors d’oeuvre” while waiting for those The Earth’s represses to arrive. Beautiful score. This is limited to 100 copies on sky blue, 400 copies on gold and 500 copies on black vinyl.  Seems that the source, District Lines, has sold out their copies but you can pick black copy for example from hhv.de (germany). Beauty.

Jerry Goldsmith: Poltergeist Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 2xLP (clear)

poltergeist

The reason why I purchased this from Discogs is simple, I do not want to gamble with these limited, randomly added color versions. Even though I really like these soundtracks Mondo is releasing, as a collector I just want these special versions and it’s easier to pick these versions for example from Discogs (with decent prize of course, like this copy I received). I admit that I’m not that big fan of soundtracks but with Mondo (and with some others) I have to do some exceptions. As we know, these are quality releases and I really appreciate Mondo’s customer services (you might have noticed that on my post about Halloween soundtrack earlier). But anyways, nice release and I’m very happy with this one. If you’re after this (or any other Mondo release) I suggest you to check Discogs, you may find your treasures there with very decent prize.

Cult Of Luna: Eternal Music LP (black & gold)

cultofluna01

Uuuh.. Cult Of Luna and their latest release on vinyl (actually this has been released 2010 by as audio book/DVD “Eviga Riket” and now on vinyl as “Eternal Musc). I have been a big fan of Cult Of Luna since ..I do not even remember when, so it was quite natural move to purchase this (hmm.. now I have to admit that I can’t remember how I came across with this release). But anyways this is music only release and sounds as good as it should sound. This is limited to 500 copies on black & gold (sold out from the source) and 500 copies on regular black vinyl. Recommended release, totally. Available from Pelagic Records.

John Carpenter: Halloween 2XLP (orange translucent w/ black splatter)

Halloween B

Oh, this beauty came today (finally). I got a copy of this record earlier with some nasty seam splits (you can read about my whining here) but now I’m very happy. I have to thank Mo from Mondo about awesome customer service, again. I really appreciate this, really. And about this soundtrack, I love this, it brings back scary memories.. I remember when we watched this film for the first time (about 30 years ago..) and after that I had to walk home across that little forest.. opening tune ringing in my ears.. huh.. This beauty is limited to 1000 copies so there are plenty of copies floating around and possible with decent price tag.

John Carpenter: Halloween 2xLP (orange) Replaced One!

halloween

And with this one I’m very happy!! This came today from Mondo. Some of you who have been following this blog of mine know that I got this record few months ago with nasty looking seam splits. I was not that pleased with it (you can read about that here and here). 

But now, I’m very pleased about Mondo’s customer services (especially Thanks to Mo!). This replacement album came records taken out of the cover and in perfect condition (and this came on orange vinyl!!). Now I just keep on waiting for the replacement for that version B (It was sent on same day with this package but according to USPS it’s jammed in Austin.. :( and somehow that does not sound good). Anyways, Thousands Thanks to Mo & Mondo, I really appreciate this!!

Here’s few pictures of that damaged one:
