Suspiria Soundtrack Vinyl SOLD OUT

For Sale, ,

suspiria soundtrack LP vinyl recordRecently added to the Turntabling for- sale vinyl section-this uber-loud soundtrack for Suspiria by the one-and-only Goblin. The vinyl selection is growing steadily and in the coming weeks you’ll find more delicious soundtracks on wax for sale including some Morricone (the Revolver soundtrack, plus a few others) plus the Escape From New York soundtrack by John Carpenter.

When it comes to Suspiria, here’s a great example of a genre movie that wouldn’t be what it is without the amazing sounds on this LP. Goblin never surpassed this–it’s the Guernica of Italian horror movie soundtracks. Morricone was the master, but Goblin created something here without equal for sheer ferocity and clarity of purpose.

Scroll down and check out the sounds on this clip from Suspiria’s opening five minutes–but play it LOUD. Suspiria is on sale at Turntabling as a brand new, sealed import vinyl album. SOLD OUT.

How to DJ Advice

Turntabling (the blog) is all about vinyl–everything connected to the collecting, playing, archiving and culture associated with vinyl.

I know the drive-in culture thing I am so obsessed with in these pages seems a bit of a stretch, but since I cut my teeth with vinyl when these things were growing up right alongside in 70s and 80s culture, it seems a natural to me.

But some days, it’s all about the act of mixing together the tunes and keeping people interested in your mix. The DJ aspect doesn’t get nearly as much face time here, but I do like to dispense a bit of my insider knowledge from time to time.

Today I stumbled across another one of those How To DJ sites, but this one actually had some decent information. Sound advice there, especially when it comes to trying to feel out an audience and know what works and what doesn’t.

My main gripe with how-to-DJ advice is that you can’t really learn how to spin music without DOING it. And then there’s only so far you can go before you need to have an actual audience. Want to see how fast you can clear a dance floor? How about how long it takes to bring those feet back onto that floor? You have to learn by doing. Continue reading How to DJ Advice →

Chris Joss Teraphonic Overdubs LP

For Sale

chris joss terraphonic overdubs

Chris Joss does it right with the impossibly funky sounds of Teraphonic Overdubs, the eagerly-awaited follow up to You’ve Been Spiked.

Like Spiked, this four-sided bundle of grooves and dancefloor psychedelia covers a lot of bases at once. It’s not as heavy on the Shaft-style sounds this time out, but the basslines are still grooving and there’s an out-of-control wah wah pedal all over this, especially on Granted, which you can hear below.

You can buy Teraphonic Overdubs by Chris Joss from Turntabling–this is a new 2LP vinyl record. $21 plus shipping.
