This is the seminal collection from the single most important band in all of horror.
Yes, all you horrorheads, that's right: I'm talking about Goblin: Collection 1975 to 1989. And if there is a more important horror soundtrack collection in the history of horror, please let me know, cause I gotta have it!
This album is comprised of no less than 27 compositions written and performed by the Goblin boys. Everything from their lesser known works (at least lesser known here in the USA) such as Chi?, to their genre making classics such as the themes for Suspiria, Tenebre, Dawn of the Dead, Deep Red and Phenomena. There are tons of outtakes and demo tracks as well, but for us diehard Goblin lovers, it's finally getting a chance to hear the complete themes for such lesser known horror greats as The Church and Wampyre (known in the US as Martin) that makes this an indispensable album. This goes from rockin' prog tracks to ambient beauties, made up almost entirely of electro beats and keyboards.
Seriously, if you don't own this collection, can you really be that much of a horrorhead? Don't even get me started on Keith Emerson's awesome solo soundtrack work for Argento on Inferno or his weirdly sensual work for 1981's The Burning.
