One Way Static Records proudly presents: Ulli Lommel's 'THE BOOGEYMAN' (Original 1980 Motion Picture Soundtrack by TIM KROG & Synthe-Sound-Trax) available as a Zavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Deluxe Vinyl (only 300 copies available - hand-numbered) on HIGHLIGHTER YELLOW Vinyl. Comes with an insert containing extensive and exclusive liner notes by Charlie Brigden, J.A. Kerswell & the late Ulli Lommel himself.
Features:
In 1980 Lommel directed ‘THE BOOGEYMAN’ starring John Carradine, which became a ‘slasher genre’ hit and made the UK's banned ‘Video Nasties’ list. Two sequels were also produced in 1981 and 1983.
To underscore his film, Lommel needed a soundtrack that fitted the times like the synth based John Carpenter styled soundscapes used in Halloween. By the late seventies, electronic music had achieved new heights of popularity. Technological innovations such as the Mini-Moog became a weapon of choice for new composers, churning out chilling electronic music that showed the industry its full creative potential.
For this he turned to Tim Krog and his team ‘Synthe-Sound-Trax’ (SST for short) composed out of Jan Barlett and Ed Christiano. This trio produced a soundtrack far more progressive and unique than one might expect. Moving easily between traditional melodies and more experimental textures, The Boogeyman’s score is a superb example of an economical but highly effective scoring style that would be prevalent throughout the ensuing decades.
