Suspiria Soundtrack

It’s easy to understand why some people in the 90s thought that Skinny Puppy frontman Nivek Ogre was involved in the recording of this amazingly loud, creepy and ahead-of-its time soundtrack for Dario Argento’s Suspiria.

The fact of the matter is, this was Goblin and Dario Argento working together after a fashion–no 80s industrial names were attached to this project even if it DOES sound a lot like what Ogre would be doing in Skinny Puppy on tracks like Dig It, Testure, and others.

Suspiria is an amazing, demented fairy tale. The soundtrack, like the film itself, must be taken on its own terms…and what a soundtrack it is! Still sought after, some editions like the Cinevox import CD are surprisingly pricey–especially in the age of digital downloads. Still, the most obsessed of us are willing to shell out, especially if the LP is available. Believe it or not, you can score a re-issue of this for around $25 on vinyl from…are you ready? BEST BUY. It’s currently listed as backordered, but still available.

Check out the American drive-in movie trailer for Suspiria and ask yourself if you can really live without experiencing this at top volume.
