ALSO RELEASED

Guy Skornik ★★★ Tusk FINDERS KEEPERS. CD/DL/LP

Label bosses Doug Shipton and Andy Votel continue to fly their freak flag for Alejandro Jodorowsky with this soundtrack to his disowned 1980 “family film”. The movie might be a rambling stinker but Skornik’s cues are a winning mix of wibbly Magma-rock, Ash Ra futurism and romantic Fender Rhodes arpeggios.

Bernard Herrmann ★★★★ Marnie STYLOTONE. LP

Bernard Herrmann’s massed strings expressing the sour romanticism and neurotic hysteria of Tippi Hedren’s lead character (and his own personal discontent) isn’t the most soothing of soundtracks, but this is an exceptionally gorgeous gatefold reissue, all the film’s cues collected on weighty double vinyl, complete with free poster, CD and facsimile promo 7-inch.

Various ★★★★★ Cruising WAXWORK. LP

Assembled with the help of director William Friedkin, this deluxe triplevinyl soundtrack to his most vilified film is an absolute treat, featuring previously unreleased cuts from The Germs and Willy DeVille, plus pulsing ECM jazz from Ralph Towner and Barre Phillips, and the subterranean Clinton funk of Parliament outcasts Mutiny.

Årabrot Speciale ★★★ Die Nibelungen PELAGIC. CD/DL/LP

Performing live at the Tromsø International Film Festival in 2016, with Swedish singer Karin Park, this expanded version of the Norwegian avant-noise outfit augment Fritz Lang’s brooding 1924 adaptation of the epic German poem, moving from ghostly chorales and malevolent drones into a closing 20 minutes of explosions, machine guns(!) and Sabbathmendous powerriffage.
