Based on a short-story by the master of horror and fantasy, author Clive Barker (Hellraiser), Rawhead Rex is set in 1980’s rural Ireland. The Demon, alive for millennia and trapped in the depths of hell, is unleashed on the sleepy local farming community. Remembered faintly through pre-Christian myth, the only one that can stop Rawhead's bloody rampage is the historian, desperately racing against the time. This is the first ever release for the soundtrack by Colin Towns, one of Europe’s most prolific film, television and theatre composers, but also a pianist, songwriter, arranger, producer and collaborator, known for The Puppet Masters, Space Trackers, Maybe Baby, Foyle’s War, Doc Martin, Pie In The Sky. "The first film I scored was Full Circle which starred Mia Farrow and is still in the BFI top ten for best score for horrorfilms. I felt that film was more of a dark scary mystery. Rawhead Rex on the other hand was clearly a horror film 100%. I visited the film set in Ireland during the filming to take in the atmosphere and meet the actors after which I decided to record the music at CTS in London with a sixty piece orchestra plus electronics. I have always orchestrated my own work and had a wild time with Rawhead which is what I really love doing". Colin Towns

ステンドグラス・レッド・カラー盤LP2枚組。クライヴ・バーカーの短編小説『髑髏王』の映画化。1986年のホラー映画「ロウヘッド・レックス」のオリジナル・サウンドトラック。イギリス郊外のストーンヘンジが発掘中に崩壊、中から太古の魔獣が復活する。女子供も容赦せずに惨殺する髑髏王が凶悪。ただし、髑髏王自体の造型が毛を剃ったイノシシのようで少し興醒め。原作のイメージに及ばない。
