For the third installment in our Finders Kreepers dedicated vintage horror soundtrack series we begin with an obscure French witch flick which pulls together stylistic echoes of both Bell Book And Candle and Czech gothic thriller Morgiana then feeds them through the musical mind of one the true pioneers of electronic composition for this little known OST by a well known sonic maverick. Often evading the composer’s discography lists Pierre Henry’s rare score to Malefices (aka The Hex or Where The Truth Lies) hears our bonefide musique concrète originator at what is perhaps his most melodic and fragile (especially for the formative era) layering vocal tape loops and gossamer feminine voice treatments with plucked strings, white noise wind and brooding industrial piano textures for this intoxicated poison peon which stands as the perfect opener to an intense soundtrack for those lucky enough to find the original record (or film for that matter).

The second cut on this limited edition 45 is a classic piece of unnerving horror composition that adopts the same child-like vocal/brooding undercurrent that has earned scores like The Innocents, Night Of The Hunter and Profondo Rosso an indelible place in our nostalgic nervous systems.  Creating a major stir as a novel and stage play before benefitting a celluloid adaptation The Bad Seed shocked audiences with the first cinematic killer kid in mainstream cinema following a did she/didn't she plot set to innocent nursery rhymes played in fragile minor keys against paranoid orchestral restraint.  Mirroring the theatrical mother’s worst fears and accentuating the lead roles split personality The Bad Seed earned composer Alex North continued plaudits for his classy, conceptual realisation of this milestone in horror cinema soundtracking.

Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - Ganges Delta Blues
Dhafer Youssef - Blending Souls & Shades (to Shiraz)

Sounds start like a journey of the flesh walking on a desert, feeling a caustic desert soil on his feet, and purple energy of the earth follows him. Then, the purple energy of the earth appears and ask the reason of his journey. He talks about percussions of his brain orchestra, contrabass on his heart (8:59). He says that he want to find his unique and perfect love on this longest route. The energy lets him to go to find "unlimited tolerance, goodness, charity and awareness through love"(9:20). After the scream of truth(9.52), the flesh starts to purify from some of body pieces and continue to follow the unfinished route of mountain. Hence, this route hosts a white plume, heavy and viscous clouds, unexpected fire on tiny dessert sands, sand spout in daylight. Black and white together.

The "energy" whispers behind the passenger:
"I'm glad that God has chosen me to be your host,
I'm glad to see you again."

The passenger smiles and whisper by himself: "It's rude to whisper in front of others. You look behind my body, i'm in front of you. I will be quiet. It's early to talk like it's just last coincidence"

Franco Nanni ‎– Elicoide
Label: Affordable Inner Space ‎– AIS002
Format: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Repress, Special Edition
Country: Italy
Released: 10 Apr 2017
Genre: Electronic
Style: Minimal, Ambient, Experimental, New Age

Franco Nanni’s ‘Elicoide’ is a lost gem previously released in 1987 only in few copies.  The Italian musician has developed (with the assistance from Paolo Grandi on double bass) a minimalistic and repetitive structure expressed into five long compositions ranging from jazz, avantgarde and of­ course ambient music­, each one with its own precise character.  It is an album that showcases his idea of ­ “Ascetic Trance” by referring to the music of John Cage, Arvo Pärt and the Mediterranean Organic scene.  ‘Elicoide’ was performed live in a rare exhibition during the summer of 1987 by an ensemble with Franco Nanni himself, Paolo Grandi, Leo Croatto and Marcela Pérez Silva. During the performance, a special version of “Poesia” was presented for the first time, a song written by peruvian composer Daniel “Kiri” Escobar and re-arranged by Franco Nanni.  The reissue is presented in two discs. The first contains  the official repress of ‘Elicoide’, while the second vinyl includes four incredible unreleased extra tracks from the original sessions, and finally the haunting recording of “Poesia”, which close the tracklist (work).

Shawn Lee presents "Swan Lake" off his Ubiquity release Hooked Up Classics. Inspired by the Hooked On Classics series of the early 1980s, which took well-known classical pieces and gave them a contemporary re-working. Lee throws his new musical twist on the idea, taking 12 favorite classical tracks and squeezing them through the Ping Pong Orchestra machine. Available direct at: http://bit.ly/fmcMxi

Shawn Lee - "Swan Lake"

Been blogging, music sharing, etc. for a while now (see blog under this name) & DJing since 1982. I like all kinds of music.

Most of my playlists are not organized & just hold songs I'm interested in, many of which I haven't listened to yet. The "freeform current listening" playlist is as it says & will be updated regularly. Many of my reposts were unintentional, they were just random tracks I was trying to add to a playlist using my phone & I've got clumsy fingers.
