Waxwork Records is thrilled to release PHANTASM Original Motion Picture Score by Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave. In celebration of the iconic Horror film's 45th Anniversary, this special triple LP features the complete score sourced from the original 1979 master tapes for the first time in any format, a full LP of never before released cues from the Phantasm score recordings sessions, and the newly re-mastered original 1979 score album.
Directed by Don Coscarelli, Phantasm has become a horror classic due to its surreal and unconventional storytelling. Filming on weekends over the span of a year, and working with a budget of only $300,000, Coscarelli and his crew created a bizarre, gorey, and entirely original horror film. Some of the most famous aspects of the film, like the floating silver orb, come directly from Coscarelli’s dreams, which give the film an even more ethereal feel.
Composers Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave were inspired by the horror scores of Goblin (Suspiria) and Mike Oldfield (The Exorcist) to create the haunting sounds of Phantasm. Myrow and Seagrave were working with synthesizers in the early days of the instrument. Says Coscarelli, “The synthesizers we used back then were so primitive that you couldn't repeat something; you would program the synthesizer, which means setting all of these dials to create a sound, and you went back and tried to get it again and forget it - it was impossible.”
"I recently received notice that our long-term film storage vault in the basement of the historic Howard Hughes Headquarters building on the corner of Romaine and Sycamore in Hollywood was being permanently closed. During the process of moving out our negative materials, I came across the original three reels of Ampex 456 analog tape used in the Phantasm score recording sessions. Listening now to the score, including the outtake tracks, I am impressed with how inventive and adventurous Fred and Malcolm were in their approach to scoring Phantasm."
Waxwork Records is excited to release the definitive PHANTASM Original Motion Picture Score by Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave as a deluxe 3xLP with features including the expanded and complete score sourced from the original 1979 master tapes, never before released score cues from the Phantasm recording sessions, and the newly re-mastered original 1979 score album. Each disc is pressed to "Silver Sphere" metallic silver colored vinyl and housed in a heavyweight triple gatefold jacket. Also included are exclusive liner notes by Phantasm writer, director, and producer Don Coscarelli, an 11"x11" insert, and full album artwork by Graham Humphreys.

フレッド・マイロウとマルコム・シーグレイヴによるシンボリックなホラー映画『ファンタズム』のオリジナル・モーション・ピクチャー・スコアが45周年を記念して、3枚組LPでリリース！1979年のオリジナル・マスターテープからフルスコアを初めて収録し、レコーディング・セッションからの未発表キューを、そして新たにリマスタリングされた1979年のオリジナル・アルバムを収録！
トラックリストドン・コスカレリ監督の『ファンタズム』は、そのシュールで型破りなストーリーテリングにより、ホラーの古典となった。週末に1年かけて撮影し、わずか30万ドルの予算で、コスカレリと彼のスタッフは奇妙で血なまぐさい、まったく独創的なホラー映画を作り上げた。浮遊する銀色の球体など、この映画の最も有名な場面のいくつかは、コスカレリの夢から直接来たもので、それがこの映画にさらに幽玄な雰囲気を与えている。
作曲家のフレッド・マイロウとマルコム・シーグレイブは、『サスペリア』のゴブリンや『エクソシスト』のマイク・オールドフィールドのホラー・スコアにインスパイアされ、『ファンタズム』の呪術的なサウンドを作り上げた。マイローとシーグレイブは、シンセサイザーの黎明期にシンセサイザーを使っていた。“当時使っていたシンセサイザーはとても原始的なもので、何かを繰り返すことはできなかった。シンセサイザーをプログラムする、つまり音を作るためにすべてのダイヤルを設定するのだが、また戻ってそれを得ようとして、忘れてしまう。”とドン・コスカレリは語る。
「ハリウッドのロメインとシカモアの角にある歴史的なハワード・ヒューズ本社ビルの地下にある長期フィルム保管庫が、永久に閉鎖されるという知らせを最近受けた。ネガを運び出す作業中に、『ファンタズム』のスコア・レコーディング・セッションで使われたアンペックス456アナログテープのオリジナル3リールに出くわしました。今、アウトテイク・トラックを含むスコアを聴くと、フレッドとマルコムがいかに独創的で冒険的なアプローチで『ファンタズム』を採譜していたかに感銘を受ける。」
各ディスクは “Silver Sphere”と呼ばれるメタリックシルバーカラーのレコードにプレスされ、ヘビーウェイトのトリプル・ゲートフォールド・ジャケットに収められている。また、『ファンタズム』の脚本家、監督、プロデューサーであるドン・コスカレリによる独占ライナーノーツ、11インチx11インチのインサート、グラハム・ハンフリーズによるアルバム・アートワークも収録されています。
