Really?
Well over 3 and a half years of Illogical Contraption and no one has ever posted Fabio Frizzi's brilliant score to Lucio Fulci's (right) 1981 weirdo/gore/zombie/WTF/chiller
The Beyond? This is inexcusable. Nigh unto treason. I scorn the entire writing staff for their oversight and laziness.
I found myself revisiting this film during a late-night bender just recently, and found myself once again blown away by a) the way everything in this movie happens for no apparent reason and applies to no real storyline (It's Italian, for fuck's sake! These flicks never make any sense.) b) that scene with the blind chick and her dog on the bridge (still super creepy), and c) THE FUCKING SOUNDTRACK, MAN! SO GOOD!!!
Despite the quality of Frizzi's compositions (past IC posts have explored the droning, minimalist genius of
City of the Living Dead/Gates of Hell and
Zombi 2), he is far from "profilic" or "well known", recording just a handful of popular scores between the late 60's and today. Sure, his work on the first
Zombie,
Manhattan Baby, Argento's
A Cat In The Brain,
The Psychic, and
Kill Bill Part 1 (known as
Kiru Biru in Japan) have assured him his fair spot in the pantheon of great Italian film composers, but his renown remains mostly in his home country. Frizzi remains nestled comfortably within his own private Brozone Layer, pumping out the ill jams at a consistent--but not megalomaniacal--rate, always keeping it creepy, always keeping it gnar. Sick jams.

ReplyDeleteWe read the instructions and I decided ergo baby carrier I wanted to try the back carry - I think the only negative to ergo baby carrier sale this carrier is that for a baby Everly’s age,ergo carrier it’s not easy for one person to safetly put a child in and out from behind. It required both Brent and I to get Everly in.

After watching "Don't Look Now" I think Fulci was really influenced by Roeg. What with the psychic with white eyes and the creepiness and the this and the that. There's alot of cover versions of Frizzi tunes, maybe i should post something about em on here
ReplyDeleteCould've gone my whole life without that spider scene but that's why there's a skip button haha. Great (often non-sensical) little gem we have here with an even greater soundtrack. How wild it would've been to see and hear the score being recorded. Those choir sections never fail to freak me out.
