In 1977, Italian Prog rock band Goblin composed one of cinemas finest scores for Dario Argento's masterpiece, Suspiria. Fronted by Claudio Simonetti, Goblin was behind numerous film scores, many of them for Argento films, but their work for Suspiria is what they are best known for.
This version featured tonight is not the original version of the song, but a slightly retooled one done by the Simonetti formed band, Daemonia. I think the original is better, but the original Goblin release doesn't have this fantastically awful video to go with it. So the trade off is worth it. I thought this was a Full Moon film with the expertly executed CG fire FX and the brilliant set design. Actually, that might be taking credit away from Full Moon a bit. Well, I hope Claudio is happy with "his" choice for this week, since he all but chased me away his "witch" business...I really need to start locking my doors.
Listen, all Im going to say is GOBLIN!!1 Fucking changed my life man, great pick to kick off the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love Goblin, picking on Simonetti or not, and Suspiria is one of my all time favorite scores! Glad you dug it and thanks, Carl!
ReplyDeleteThe Suspiria theme is my ring tone for when I get text messages. Holla!
