Music Composed And Performed By Goblin: Their Rare Tracks & Outtakes Collection, 1975-1989 [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
Halloween is upon us, and it's time to fire up the VCR for some primo fright-fests. True lovers of the blood & gore genre know that Italian filmmaker Dario Argento and Pittsburgh's one and only George Romero are two of the best in the biz, and both turned to the Italian art-rock group Goblin when they needed otherworldly sounds to match their nightmarish visions. Goblin is one of the only rock bands that exclusively recorded soundtracks, and this collection includes some of its most inventive and creepy work. The jazzy, percussive, synth-driven tunes will be instantly familiar to anyone who's seen Argento's Profondo Rosso (1975) or Suspiria (1977) or Romero's classic Dawn of the Dead (1978). That's a fine triple bill if you have an adventurous video store in the neighborhood, but the music works just as well on its own, especially as background music for your Halloween party, or for a little vampiric necking.

Customer Reviews:

dance with the devils.......2005-10-18

awesome horror prog from the italian masters! all the "hits" are here, the themes from Profundo Russo, Suspiria, Tenebre. Goblin's songs are full of haunting atmosphere and creepy hooks, but also plenty of songs feature romantic ambience and even some funky disco influence creeps in on a few numbers. now that is scary.

A Perfectly Creepy Mood-setter.......2005-07-31

If you're a horror fan of either George Romero or Dario Argento, you probably have this CD already or will soon buy it regardless of how highly I recommend it. I'll try and tailor this review to those of you who are curious about this Goblin CD and would like to know more before buying.

Despite their association with horror films, Goblin is not a heavy-metal band. This CD contains mostly keyboard-heavy instrumental rock that goes back and forth between jazz-rock and progressive rock. There are a lot of vintage keyboards to listen to here, from warm string effects courtesy of the Solina synth, to a variety of electric harpsichords and organs. Goblin wrote music with unusual syncopations and interesting dissonances, which often remind people of either the 'Tubular Bells' LP or John Carpenter's soundtracks. In other words, it hypnotizes you and then shocks you.

Two of the strongest tracks are "Suspira" and "L'Alba dei Morti Viventi." "Suspira" starts off playful and mischievous, almost like the music from a "Harry Potter" movie but then gets darker and scarier as the rhythms and instruments change and our attention is focused on a throbbing bass guitar. "L'Alba" is from the original "Dawn of the Dead" and features a heartbeat-like bass drum and intentionally plodding chord changes on the synth. It's the perfect score for a film dealing with the Living Dead (which is what 'Morti Viventi' is translated to in English).

No compiliation is going to be perfect, but if you're looking for suitably eerie mood music to listen to while reading horror novels you cannot go wrong with this.

Excellent!.......2005-01-15

This is an amazingly creepy sound but wonderfully composed! Goblin are masters at their art. This is the perfect halloween soundtrack. This is a great CD and if there's any hestitation in your mind, then you must be insane, listen to some soundclips and see if you like. My personal favorite composition is easily the Susperia Segments.

Here's three for an aural cocktail!.......2004-02-19

If you love Goblin's groundbreaking horror-film scoring as much as I do, then you're gonna love my second favorite soundtrack of all time, "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" which is as furious, mysterious and driving as Goblin in the classic "Profondo Rosso" (Deep Red) and as never-wrackingly insistent as Goblin in "Tenebre."

Composed by David Shire at the same time as "Deep Red," "Pelham's" heart-stealing, mood-changing eleven-tracker sits nicely beside the Goblin Collection.

And truthfully, I throw the Beastie Boys' "Ill Communication" into the mix, 'cause their funk-jazz samples compliment these two masterful soundtacks!!

Awesome Italian Horror Soundtracks.......2003-12-27

Goblin is one of those rare bands who are famous only for soundtracks. (Ala Tangerine Dream.) After seeing a number of Italian horror flicks, and appreciating some of the music Goblin scored on them, I had to give this CD a shot. Lo and behold I got it for Xmas and popped it in right away. What can I tell you? This CD is superb! I've had it playing non stop pretty much since I unwrapped it. For me, the tracks on the second half of the CD are my favorite but I love them all. Like the other reviewers said, some of the tracks are spooky jazzish while others rely heavy on uptempo beats and synthesizers. As a whole it's a balanced CD with a good mixture of eerie styles. You can't go wrong here if you like this sort of music.
