George Antheil - Ballet Mécanique




Here's George Antheil's score to Fernand Léger's experimental, dadaist, masterpiece Ballet Mécanique. The film is insane and the score is just as insane with the use of pianos, airplane propellers, sirens, electric bells among other things. This shit was way ahead of it's time and can be seen as the precursor to more experimental stuff that came out later.

Ennio Morricone - Crime and Dissonance

Abe Request.

Ennio is not only the most famous film music composer of all time, he's the been one of the most innovative and daring. The man was one of the founding members of the Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuovo Consonanza for chrissakes, he knows his shit. In this compilation you'll hear why. Compiled by Demented Cunthead Supreme Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls) and released on Mike Patton's Ipecac label, "Crime and Dissonance" has some of the freakiest, spookiest and most ominous pieces Morricone composed, mainly for Spaghetti Westerns and Giallos. True brain-frying shit. 2 CDs on one file.

Neil Young - Dead Man OST

Abe request.

Although Neil Young is mainly known as an incredible songwriter, he's also a true Sonic Barbarian of the best sort. Listen to his mangled guitar excursions on Crazy Horse, his feedback opus "Arc", and his barren, bleak instrumental work for Jim Jarmusch's celebrated "Dead Man".
