The Beyond: Hommage an Lucio Fulci auf Eighth Tower Records

Die römischen Eights Tower Records bringen unter dem Titel “The Beyond – Music Inspired By The Lucio Fulci Death Trilogy” eine Compilation zu Ehren Lucio Fulcis dem Übernatürlichen gewidmete “Trilogie des Todes” heraus, die Anfang der 80er die Filme Paura nella città dei morti viventi (City of the Living Dead, 1980), L’aldila (The Beyond, 1981) und Quella villa accanto al cimitero (House by the Cemetery, 1981) zusammenfasste. Acht Acts der dunklen, dröhnenden lärmenden und anderweitig verstörenden Künste – Nàresh Ran, Mario Lino Stancati, Daniel Ferreira (Kloob), Leonardo Granchi (Bad Girl), Cristiano Bocci, Paolo Acquaviva (DuoSerpe), Sara Fontana, Dario Arrighi (Progetto No Name) – schicken sich hier an, die Stimmung der Filme im eigenen Medium neu zu erwecken. Der Sampler erscheint digital und auf 200 CDs.

“This new Eighth Tower Records project, dedicated to the Lucio Fulci’s “Trilogy Of Death”, a unique and unrepeatable corpus in the history of Italian “supernatural cinema”, tries to imagine an alternative soundtrack for those movies. The several souls of Fulci’s movies are evoked by the musicians – Nàresh Ran, Mario Lino Stancati, Daniel Ferreira (Kloob), Leonardo Granchi (Bad Girl), Cristiano Bocci, Paolo Acquaviva (DuoSerpe), Sara Fontana, Dario Arrighi (Progetto No Name) – through a variety of music styles (electroacoustic, dark ambient, concrete music, progressive rock, drone music). Some of them kept in mind the lesson of the master Fabio Frizzi, the well known composer of the original soundtracks, while others escaped any attempt to revive that glorious tradition and interpreted Fulci’s horror universe in a totally contemporary and unedited way.” (Eighth Tower Records)
