note:
The Blob (And other creepy sounds) features the complete
original Ralph Carmichael soundtrack from the 1958 cult
monster movie starring Steve McQueen.
The CD features every cue from the movie as well as music
not heard in the picture, totalling about 37 minutes
all in original, gorgeous monophonic sound.
Of particular note is the unused “Main Title,”
which was replaced by the Burt Bacharach/Mack David novelty
song.
The original orchestral cue is an outstanding piece that
perfectly prepares you for the unfolding horror of the movie,
as opposed to the humorous approach the song took.
Both opening cues are included in this release.
The remainder of the CD is packed with almost 40 minutes
of horror, suspense, and atmospheric cues from the Valentino
Production Music Library, including pieces used in The Green
Slime, The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, Terror From the
Year 5000, as well as in the collectible album “Attilio
Mineo Conducts Man in Space with Sounds.”
Film composers represented include such distinguished figures
as Angelo Francesco Lavagnino, Roger Roger, and Mario Nascimbene.
There are a total of 57 tracks on this CD, and the music
is guaranteed to ooze into your nightmares!
As with all MMM releases, the cover features specially-commissioned
art from Robert Aragon.
