CAM Sugar Paura - A Hypnotic Sonic Journey Into The Labyrinth Of Fear Vinyl 2LP Splatter

Zavvi - The Home of Pop CulturePAURA explores the horror repertoire from the precious CAM Sugar archives taking us on a hypnotic journey into the labyrinths of fear, through the different variations that Italian horror took on from the esoteric and supernatural to the slasher films of the early 1970s; to reinterpretations of Romantic literature and gothic fiction to the splatter films of the '80s; and from witchcraft to metropolitan horrorThis is not a real best of but an eclectic menu full of mysterious voices, childlike lullabies, sweet melodies, obsessive music boxes, obstinate harpsichords, crazy distortions and threatening synthesizers, conceived as a succession of sequences, as if a film editThe new collection includes some of the most creative music every written and strives to do justice not only to some of the best known composers in this genre, but also to many great unsung composers: From celebrated composers like Ennio Morricone, Riz Ortolani & Stelvio Cipriani to long-forgotten personalities who fed the industrial backbone of Italian cinema such as Daniele Patucchi, Marcelo Giombini & Berto PisanoIncludes 6 previously unreleased tracks plus 3 tracks released on vinyl for the first time and 5 tracks available commercially for the first time (originally released only as a limited promo item).Highlights include Mario Bava's Reazione a Catena which inspired John Carpenter's Halloween and Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead; Armando Crispino's L'Etrusco uccide ancora, Joe D'Amato's La Morte ha sorriso all'assassino and Rosso Sangue and Un'Ombra nell'Ombra featuring the legendary prog rock band GOBLIN (known for setting Dario Argento's giallo masterpieces such as Profondo Rosso to music).No genre has won an audience so vast and devoted as Italian horror. It's hard to find another genre with such iconic, powerful and visionary imagery. Between the late 1950s and mid-1980s, made-in-Italy horror cinema fascinated the world before long becoming the main competitor of American cinema. Its influence on international culture has consolidated over time, turning some of its best directors, such as Riccardo Freda, Mario Bava or Aristide Massaccesi (aka Joe D'Amato) into true cult auteurs, who inspired several generations of American and European directors: from Brian De Palma to Martin Scorsese, from Joe Dante to Eli Roth, from Tim Burton to Sam Raimi, from Pedro Almodóvar to John Carpenter, to Nicolas Winding Refn and Quentin Tarantino.Like the films themselves, their soundtracks have been collected and venerated over the years by a cult fandom across the globe. The charm of these films & scores is that they were often artisanal, created on a low-budget, and had a sense of underground. The plots are wrapped in a dark spiral of unhealthy and esoteric scents, while the logic of the narrative succumbs, crushed by the disturbing violence of the visuals, surrendering to the film direction, photography and its unique and extraordinary music.This is the true hallmark of Italian horror, that quality that makes it unique and legendary even today; eternal and imperturbable despite changing fashions and the flow of time.Track Listing:6 previously unreleased tracks3 tracks for the first time on vinyl5 tracks issued commercially for the first time (originally released only as a limited promo)A:Ennio Morricone – Mio Caro Assassino from MIO CARO ASSASSINO (My Dear Killer) (1971)Bruno Nicolai feat.
