2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of the better compilations, September 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Music from Dario Argento's Horror Movies (Audio CD)

Claudio Simonetti, previously member of the Italian band of the 70's "Goblins", has seen his works grouped in several compilations, of which, unfortunately, this is not one of the best. The songs are: Profondo rosso (deep red), Phenomena, Opera, Demoni (demons), Elucubrations, Suspiria, Tenebrae, Ozone free, Craws, Profondo rosso live.

Craws is the only track that can't be found elsewhere, and it is a pretty nice piece with a hectic beat. In other versions, as in the album "X-terror files", tracks such as "profondo rosso", "phenomena", "suspiria", "demoni" and "tenebrae" are great, here they are rather plain. Simonetti's other albums are worth a little search effort, I would pass on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Altered soundtrack in all the wrong ways, April 23, 2009

I was aware when I downloaded this soundtrack that it did not contain the original tracks from the films (as you can hear from the samples and by reading who the composer is). That said, I did not enjoy these particular reinterpretations of the originals (all have been altered significantly with added synthetic effects and lyrics that prevent me from enjoying the music). In my personal opinion the effects and added lyrics sound cheap, tacky and are extremely distracting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, May 31, 1999

I rather liked this. I haven't heard many of the original film versions (which may cloud my judgment a little), but I really enjoyed listening to this. The "Tenebrae" theme is particularly good, as well as the live version of "Profondo Rosso".
