Peter Thomas Van De Velde Double Disc Set

For Sale, , , , , ,

Peter Thomas The Perfect Marriage and Every Night of the WeekIf you don’t know The Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra, you’re missing out on one of the all-time classics of eurosleaze, retro-dancefloor and mod grooving. Don’t miss the chance to get your retro on with this excellent double-disc set featuring soundtrack music from not one, but TWO German sex education films–The Perfect Marriage and Every Night of the Week.

Peter Thomas was responsible for that tripped out almost-cover version of the 2001: A Space Odessey theme–the one called Opium. If you’ve heard that and still aren’t a Peter Thomas Orchestra fan, there’s no hope for you to fall in love with this, but for those of us who have seen the light–er, heard it, you won’t be disappointed by the sounds here. This is music stuck firmly in the late 60s, and even shows a bit of Morricone influence in places to boot.

The full title of this two-disc set is Van De Velde: Die Vollkommene Ehe & Van De Velde: Das Leben Zu Zweit. Musically it covers a lot of territory, from Austin Powers-type shagadelia to the previously mentioned Morricone-esque touches. There’s even some nice 1968 flute-n-orchestra swelling here, plus a moment of Alabama Song-type whimsy.

Van De Velde by the Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra is a new, sealed double CD set. Buy it now from Turntabling for $18 plus shipping.





Here’s an example of why Turntabling loves the Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra:


Goblin Buio Omega Soundtrack CD

For Sale

buio-omega-goblin

Goblin really shows off the synth chops on this one. Buio Omega, also known as Beyond The Darkness, is notorious for uber-nasty imagery, creepy set-pieces (the grave-robbing scene was particularly memorable), and of course, Goblin’s throbbing score. The Buio Omega main titles, plus Quiet Drops, and Strive After Dark are three of their best and this soundtrack album–whatever you thought of the movie itself–is essential for any Italian horror/giallo soundtrack fan or a lover of prog sounds (and prog-influenced ones which this album definitely is).

The synth sounds are in the same musical zip code as the score for Tenebre, though not as dance-floor oriented. Buio Omega is somewhere inbetween Deep Red and Tenebre. It’s not as musically complex as Goblin’s work on the Argento films, but any lover of synth music will dig Buio Omega.

The Buio Omega soundtrack by Goblin is an imported, shrinkwrapped CD. Buy it now from Turntabling for $22.00 plus shipping.





Batman Soundtrack by Prince

For Sale, , , ,

batman soundtrack by Prince

The way I heard it back in the day, Prince was asked to write a few tunes for the Tim Burton Batman movie,  but Prince flipped out and wrote an entire album’s worth of material. Who cares if it’s true? It’s a great story and I can just see him sweating over those synths trying to capture the essence of Bruce Wayne and the caped crusader with no thought at all about how the tracks might fit into the final movie.

The Prince Batman soundtrack has a few EXCELLENT tracks, including The Future, and of course, Batdance, which samples Jack Nicholson howling “This town needs an enema!” How can you go wrong? Lemon Crush is pretty sweet, too.

The Batman Soundtrack by Prince is a new, sealed compact disc. Buy it now from Turntabling for $12.00 plus shipping. Overseas shipping is available.






The Deadly Spawn Soundtrack CD

For Sale, , , , ,

Now selling here at Turntabling–a very limited number of copies of The Deadly Spawn OST CD…this fun 80s horror anomaly was one of my holy grail movies–I had read about it as a kid in Fangoria magazine, had ogled the bloody pics of the Deadly Spawn special effects, and just never got a chance to view it in all its great, cheesy 80s glory until I tracked it down years later in a video rental store in Japan, of all places.

Of course, the version I got was called Return of the Aliens’ Deadly Spawn…no cash in attempts THERE, eh? It was also released as Return of the Aliens: The Deadly Spawn.

I’ve got a very small number of The Deadly Spawn soundtrack CDs for sale here while supplies last, and for collectors and a few rabid fans of the movie, it’s worth its weight in gold. Or at least, chesse. Who doesn’t love those synth sounds? I only wish I could land a gig scoring movies like this for quick cash–I’ve got the synthesizer gear and a penchant for toothy aliens!

The Deadly Spawn is a new, sealed compact disc. Buy it now for $17.00 plus shipping. Overseas shipping is available.
