Quartet Records, in collaboration with Beat Records, reissues fan-favorite experimental Giuliano Sorgini score for Jordi Grau’s masterpiece THE LIVING DEAD AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE (aka LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE, aka NO PROFANAR EL SUENO DE LOS MUERTOS, aka NON SI DEVE PROFANARE IL SOGNO DEI MORTI)
An early Euro-zombie movie set in England follows the investigation into an attack of the undead feasting on human flesh. As opposed to a virus or other biological phenomena, this story reveals that untested farming equipment is responsible for these inhuman abominations. Best known for its groundbreaking gory effects and realistic-looking carnage, the cult movie has a score that matches its notoriety.
In a technological innovation, composer Giuliano Sorgini (ZOO FOLLE, UN URLO DALLE TENEBRE) was given the budget to record his score on four-track tape, a historical first for Italian horrors. The core idea for the score is giving sound to the titular dead ? the screams, howls, laughs, cries and whispers. Recalling the works of Italian avant-garde composer Luciano Berio, the inclusion of human voices (including Grau’s own voice in the mix) reminds audiences of the humanity of these now disfigured characters.
Remastered by Chris Malone from the original album stereo master tape, this release features new liner notes by Gergely Hubai discussing the film and the score with comments from director Jordi Grau. Limited 500 copies.
日本を除くほぼ全世界にセンセーションを巻き起こしたジョージ・Ａ・ロメロの「ナイト・オブ・ザ・リビング・デッド／ゾンビの誕生」に、害虫駆除の超音波によって死者が甦えるという設定を付け加えた換骨奪胎したホラー映画「悪魔の墓場」のサウンドトラックがアルバム・マスターからリマスターで再発売！限定500枚。
トラックリスト郊外の友人宅に向かっていた芸術家ジョージ。だが彼のバイクは若い女性エドナの車によって誤って壊されてしまう。ジョージは仕方なく姉の元へ行こうとしている彼女の車に同乗させてもらう事になる。二人がやって来た田舎町では、超音波を使って虫の闘争本能を煽り互いに攻撃しあう事で害虫を駆除するという実験が行われていた。異変はすぐに起きた。エドナが不気味な男に襲われたのだ。しかもその男は数日前に死んでいると言う。彼女の姉の夫が殺害されるに至り、二人はそれが生ける屍－ゾンビである事を確信する。しかし、警察はそんな二人の言葉に耳を傾けないばかりか、経験豊富な警部はジョージこそ殺人事件の犯人ではないかと疑う。事件の謎を解こうと墓地に赴くジョージとエドナの前にまたもゾンビの群れが現れた。二人を見張っていた警官は殺され、傷を追ったエドナは病院に行くが、その死体置き場では一斉にゾンビと化した死体たちが目覚めていたのだ……。
