Might wanna check up on that - it's not listed as the Death Waltz release, it's a different record label I've never heard of, released last year . . .

To anyone with the Twins Of Evil soundtrack - am I right in thinking it has a Castlevania feel? The snippet I listened to sounded like it may have inspired Konami's score to the games.

Amazon keeps on amending the listing. When I ordered it, it was a Death Waltz release, a preorder and cost £13. Now it's supposedly been out for 10 months, costs £7 and is a Republic Of Music release. Republic Of Music isn't a label, it's a PR company that promotes indie label releases so I think that's an Amazon balls-up. God knows what Amazon's doing.

Let me know how you get on cos I'd buy it for that price, not sure I'd pay the £20 DW are asking on their site though, especially with that ghastly artwork. After that gorgeous House By The Cemetery art, their covers have gone seriously downhill.

They've now changed it to the Goblin EP artwork so looks like there's no chance of getting the NY Ripper LP for £7. It's been relisted for £13.99.

LP DW020 RELEASED 24/02/14

Original soundtrack by Susan Justin Comes with an immediate download of the album when purchased exclusively through the Death Waltz website.

“The musical score, by Susan Justin, provides the film with its most interesting edge—flowing from classical grace to deadly tension.” The Hollywood Reporter“

Death Waltz Recording Company are proud to be unleashing one of the great unheralded electronic scores. Unavailable since the film’s release in 1982, Susan Justin’s music for FORBIDDEN WORLD – produced by the legendary Roger Corman – mixes the electronic influences of the time with splashes of new wave, creating a score that fuses the eerie tonalities and avant-garde sensibility of ALIEN with the straight-up funk of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. Birthed from this is a cult classic score that deserves to be held up alongside the works of Richard Band and Alan Howarth.

What immediately stands out from the score is the amazing main theme, a melodic groove firmly embedded in the 80s synth movement, complete with creepy vocal effects overlaying its driving keyboard line. Originally a parody that Corman turned into a straight horror, the score is used typically to create tension with isolated piano and harsh electronic tones, acting as a stereotypical precursor to the horror moments. Amidst all this is also the ‘Blaster Beam’, a unique instrument famous for its use in Jerry Goldsmith’s STAR TREK – THE MOTION PICTURE. A fantastic voyage amongst the stars full of offbeat melodies and alien tones, this is a musical world that demands multiple visits.

180 gm black hole vinyl (Blue black & white) housed in a heavyweight casebound tip on sleeve with exclusive artwork by Kimberley Holladay containing a poster and booklet featuring exclusive all new liner notes from composer Susan Justin Director Allan Holzman and artist Kimberley Holladay.

LP DW21 RELEASED 17/02/14

Ms.45

Score by Joe Delia

Artwork by Alice X. Zhang

Incredibly this soundtrack has NEVER been released in any format, we went back to the original master tapes and worked with composer Joe Delia to clean up the original elements .

Like Abel Ferrara, Death Waltz Recording Company are not prone to shying away from the more extreme corners of culture, and are delighted to be presenting a true underground classic for the first time ever. Ferrara’s pictures often tread the line between grindhouse trash and art-films with insightful social commentary – and unflinching realism – and MS. 45 is his most notorious film, with much of its power coming from Joe Delia’s grimy yet haunting music. A sparse piano motif initially creates a lonely voice for the (mute) heroine but it’s overshadowed by wailing trumpet, electric guitar, and menacing synths that paint a disturbing musical picture of the world she inhabits.

Delia’s music is so great at creating a vivid image in your head and you begin to imagine the grubby streets, the sleazy sex-shops, the leering onlookers, with it building and building until it reaches sensory assault. The instruments sound as violent as the acts on screen, as loud synth stings ring out like gunshots, edgy jazz beats unnerve you, and a repeating brass motif becomes a theme for violence and vengeance – even during the awesome ‘Dance Party’. You may need a shower after listening, but you’ll be right back to play it again and again

180 gm Bad Habit coloured vinyl (White & Black split) housed in a gatefold heavyweight tip on casebound sleeve.

Includes a giant fold out poster and booklet featuring all new exclusive sleevenotes from composer Joe Delia.
