A special edition gold screenprinted variant features Thai language insignias (inspired by the documentaries prime filming/recording locations) as well as a special multimedia screen printed black card poster and a facsimile of the rare original promo insert. The unlikely soundtrack for this ‘field study into the ultimate macabre' will undoubtedly appeal to fans of films scores like The Holy Mountain as well as elements found in record like Jean-Pierre Massiera's L'etrange Msr. Whinster, and whether you are an adventurous viewer (be warned), or better still an intrepid listener, this album will find a home at the weirder end of your Smithsonian Folkways shelf - just before the Video Nasty soundtracks!

about

Expanded reissue of mega rare 1979 unknown vanity pressing LP that blends ethnological field recordings, musique concrète principles and introspective synthesiser music from this cult European studio maverick and historic collaborator of COS, Philippe Druilet, Marc Moulin and John Surman.

Alain Pierre’s Mondo movie soundtrack to the controversial Des Morts shares very few stylistic rivals, but fans of Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain soundtrack and some of the more eldritch early sampling experiments of Jean-Pierre Massiera will certainly draw fragmented comparisons herein. Other listeners might file this album at the weirder end of your Smithsonian Folkways shelf, just before the Video Nasty soundtracks.

Presented in remastered form comprising extra vintage studio outtakes (in accordance with the films morbid narrative), Des Morts serves as a would-be sequel to Finders Keepers’ previous Ô Sidarta release witnessing Pierre balance his allegiance to the Belgian bandes dessinée scene and Thierry Zéno’s shock cinema oeuvre from the heart of his uber-legendary Brussels based experimental recording studio through the 1970s.

While I'm a huge fan of electronic music, I love when these projects also introduce a narrative aspect. The unfolding history of Martin's musical journey adds such a wonderful dimension while listening to these albums. Not to mention the great visuals, too. M0T0M
