This was not Cammell's first encounter with Aleister Crowley's work as Cammell's father had written a biography of the Beast.

Special praise most also be given for the unrelenting fetishism that abounds of motorbikes, biker clothing and bikers in "Scorpio Rising". It all becomes very hypnotic and adds an extra rhythm underscoring all the early 60s girl band music.
Not familliar with Anger's work at all, but what you have said sounds quite interesting.

Just looked it up on Amazon - its a BFI release, which is always a mark of quality.
