It might be considered a B movie but the Les Baxter soundtrack to this 1970 horror flick is definitely A+. The whole concept of an exotica / easy listening legend creating music for such a film should spike the attention of soundtrack lovers. Most of the tracks are a variation on the Main Theme, with plenty of horns, off kilter piano and spooky theremin complimenting the usual instrumentation you would expect from Baxter. Some of the music actually comes off sounding a bit like the Virgin Suicides OST by Air (or is that vice versa?). For me the key highlight is the very last track which is a pulsating drum heavy delight.

Thank you, my friend.

Thank for this wonderful album. Could you perhaps upload this too in lossless form? (I say this because I noticed other uploads of yours in flac)

If I post in MP3, it`s because I don`t have lossless for the moment.

This is great, thanks!

For me the most exciting part of the score is the opening note of track 2 but unfortunately it’s a bit subdued on the vinyl

Endochora is a beautiful Greek name!

thanks for the LLL Records version in lossless Petros

I was expecting Endochora to see my upload,
because I thought that he is Greek.

Well Petros thank you very much!

Δεν νόμιζες λάθος… Νά’σαι καλά λοιπόν!

Οι τοίχοι, λέν, έχουν αυτιά – μα οι ψίθυροι ζούν και πεθαίνουν και στα φύλλα
Ανδρέας Εμπειρίκος, Ενδοχώρα

Petros, I’m not sure if there was a problem at my end but when I converted the files to MP3’s, the 1st half a second of some tracks were missing, including the brilliant 2nd track, that’s when I dug out my own copy (and also gave me the chance to update my old link..)

Ενδοχώρα, αυτοί είναι οι πρώτοι στίχοι του Ανδρέα
Εμπειρίκου, που διάβασα όταν ήμουν αρκετά νέος:

�Είναι τα βλέφαρά μου διάφανες αυλαίες.
Όταν τ’ ανοίγω βλέπω εμπρός μου ό,τι κι αν τύχει.
Όταν τα κλείνω βλέπω εμπρός μου ό,τι ποθώ.�

Worksofare, I just downloaded the file without problem.
I don’t understand why you are converting the tracks to MP3.

Thank you very much Petros!

I didn’t say there was a problem with the download, rather that some of the tracks start abrubtly, missing half a second a so..
