COMPILATIONS WITH goblin

Italian Horror Themes ‘73-’81

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

welcome to the first styleguide hommage to b-cinema and european trash movies, starting off with the hallucinatory surrealism of 70s italian horror films. there was a very thin line between trash and art in these films (to say the least), but many of their soundtracks are timeless and still set a standard for visionary cinema music today, establishing horror film music as an art form.

bonus video is a teaser for the soundtrack of ’suspiria’ (1977), dario argento’s arty gothic film with bizarre cinematography and a mystical powerhouse score by the soundtrack masters of italian horror, goblin. next styleguide cinema compilations will probably feature film noir or french 70s..

Esoterics ‘79-’84

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

styleguides gets lost somewhere inbetween krautrock, cosmic, ambient exotica and new age. most of these styleguide tracks are classics from the late 70s and early 80s as usual, but this time there a few newer ambient tracks inbetween too.

bonus video is manuel göttsching’s minimalistic one hour opus ‘e2-e4′ in full psychadelica from klaus schulze’s inteam record label 1984, sampled for the no1 hit ’sueño latino’ in germany and uk 1989.
