5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly Beautiful, Sinister but enchanting., February 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Unnatural History 2 (Audio CD)

This release has a subtitle that explains it perfectly, "Smiling in the Face of Perversity". Tracks 1 through 5, track 15 and the secret track following 15 are delightfully eerie, and have the tendancy to encompass your entire being. Tracks 6 through 14 are the original versions of the Hellraiser Themes, not used because director Clive Barker felt that people would concentrate too much on the music, and not enough on the movie. Definately music for the horror movie that is going on inside your head. Excellent release to the Coil newcomer and the seasoned Coil listener alike.

This is the second "Unnatural History" compiliation from Coil, and in my opinion the better of the two. If only the corporate Schmucks who produced the Hellraiser series (theyre still great movies btw) let Barker do what he pleased (there are differing accounts of whether or not it was Barker who didnt want them on the soundtrack) and have this great group get their compositions on the sound track. Coil would have been seen as the next "Goblin" probably if that were the case (Goblin being Dario Argento's soundtrack group of choice and a classic band in their own right).

Listening to this CD I can't help thinking how much more enjoyable Hellraiser might have been if Coil had been allowed to do the soundtrack. It would definitely have made a much bolder statement during a time (the mid-80s) when soundtracks were dominated by weepy, John Williams-like violins or simply horrible bubble-gummy songs (think Katrina & the Waves...).
