Screeches, Clanks & Howls

See you back here on Sunday, the 31st, for a re-post of an old music comp, cleaned up a bit.  Until then, don't get spooked!

  

She's Creepy, All Right!

This 2000 release is one of those "fans will buy anything" things. 

Some is cheesy, but other parts are a little rough for kids under ten.  Any creepiness is diluted by severe repetition.  Seems like a half-dozen tape loops of different lengths were sequenced (or the 21st-century equivalent of tape loops).  You hear the same witch cackle about thirty times, about a hundred identical owl hoots, dozens of growling-wolf sounds, ticking clocks echoing throughout.  Even one male guffaw that sounds like ol’ Zacherley Cool Ghoul.

Torture yourself if you dare!

See ya Thursday, spooks and spookettes!

   

Get Hammered with Dracula!

 

It's a 1974 LP with a story and music from several Hammer films.

01 - Dracula - narrated by Christopher Lee  (James Bernard)  (22:04)

02 - Fear in the Night (John McCabe)  (2:48)

03 - She (James Bernard)  (5:18)

04 - The Vampire Lovers (Harry Robinson)  (3:23)

05 - Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde (David Whittaker)  (7:25)

So give it a bite!

It's a synth job by the venerable Laserlight label, who releases both hits and misses.  Or, to quote Young Frankenstein, their name is both FAMOUS ... and IN-FAMOUS.

See you on Thursday!

 Well, don’t just sit there decaying, start listening!  See you on Thursday with something putrid!

  

This New age Ain't an Improvement!

DUBBED FROM AN LP – some surface noise.


01. Aria; Variations 1-15 (26:49)
02. Variations 16-20; Aria da capo (25:49)
Yes, it’s impressive, but it comes across as a stunt performance. Synth voices performing notes faster than a human voice could perform it, for instance. Great music which is ill served by the show-offish arrangement.

Decide for yourself!  New Age Bach

See you back here on Monday, for the beginning of ...

SPOOKY SPOCK-TOBER!

Can't you feel the chills already?!?!
  

It Ain't Broke Yet!

... But it sure is purty.  

01. Holy, Holy, Holy / Redeemed (4:53)
02. Morning Has Broken (3:49)
03. Shall We Gather at the River / I'm Bound for the Promised Land (3:10)
04. I Will Arise (2:01)

07. How Great Thou Art (2:57)

09. Old Time Religion / Where the Soul Never Dies / Will the Circle Be Unbroken / The Unclouded Day / Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus (4:29)
10. Whispering Hope (3:45) 

11. It Is Well with My Soul (2:46)

Russell Cook - Morning Has Broken

As you can imagine, this 1988 album is kinda countrified.  But you might like it anyway, as I did.  Check back on Thursday for more what-have-you!

  

Rite Springs Eternal

I bought this 1971 LP long ago (aftermarket) and I'm thrilled and moved.

01. Pavane (7:43)

02. Rite of Spring (9:04)

03. Syrinx (3:35)

04. Brandenburg Concerto No 3, First Movement (6:01)

05. Brandenburg Concerto No 3, Second Movement (4:28)

The only nitpicky thing I noticed was that the "second" movement of the Brandenburg is both the brief seguing 2nd movement of the original and the 3rd, run together.  No prob!

Hubert Laws - The Rite of Spring

Hope you're charmed too.  See you on Monday!

  

Get Him Off That Guitar Before He Hurts Himself!

Or before these arrangements drive me mad.  MAD, I tell you!

Although you can't fault the guy for liking the Tahoma font, by the end you'll agree with me.  These are disgusting Easy Listening arrangements!

01. Love Is Here to Stay (3:29)

02. They Can't Take That Away from Me (4:23)

03. A Foggy Day (5:16)

04. How Long Has This Been Going On? (3:53)

05. They All Laughed (3:22)

06. But Not for Me (3:52)

07. Love Walked In (3:40)

08. Embraceable You (4:42)

09. Soon (4:12)

10. Who Cares (3:34)

11. It Ain't Necessarily So (4:54)

12. I Got Rhythm (3:39)

Jack Jezzro Strikes Out!

See you on Thursday!

  

But Who's Counting?

It's a 1992 cassette.  Regarding the titular "twenty hymns," somebody can't count!  Even if you count track 14 as two "folk hymns," we're still one shy of 20!  This group is cheesy and smarmy and too Lawrence-Welkish for my taste, but I hear some peoples' musical tastes are different than mine.

01. My Jesus, I Love Thee (3:00)

02. Seek and Ye Shall Find (1:38)

03. How Firm a Foundation (2:42)

04. Like a River Glorious (2:12)

18. In the Sweet By and By (2:55)

20 American Folk Hymns

See you Monday.

Happy STAR TREK Day … from Spock and Me!

 As you’ve probably heard, September 8 is a big hoop-de-doo day.  On September 8, 1966, Star Trek premiered.  Along with Jonny Quest, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and The Adventures of Superman, it was a big influence on my growing up—if you allege that ever happened.

In July, 1980, family member Spock chose to investigate the concept of Sleep Learning.  After all, if it worked for Edgar Cayce, why not for the world’s best dog?  So he went to dreamland with his head cradled on some LPs in our inventory.

Directly under his schnozzola is the two-LP soundtrack for The Empire Strikes Back.  And to the left of that is a Peter Pan Star Trek story record.

You can see that Star Trek has passed down to many generations of the family. See you Monday.

  

Maybe Your Favorites, But I Don't Want to Crowd You

It's from 2003, and that's about all I know. Performed well enough, but not full-bloodedly. Maybe these were recorded after a night being tapped by the Count.
