Chuushoku

Met my friend Oscar Wilson (designed the Moscovitch artwork and is now working on the De Wolfe commercial series as well as being a mid-century British lamp master) today for lunch at a secret Japanese spot. Crispy Chicken set...

This might actually be our first time as a dj 'duo' so it should be interesting to say the least...

Back in Blighty

pretty excited to find that 'Terror/Prey' is the record of the week at Manchester's finest - Piccadilly Records

The Eagle Has Landed

Matt & I finished 2 remixes today that are musically poles apart. The first is a version of Jonathan Jeremiah's 'Happiness' which is a very uplifting orchestral folk-pop track with vocals in the style of James Taylor. The second is our take on the as yet still unreleased Milky mouth Orchestra's 'Deutschland Cha Cha Cha' aka Gerry Rooney/Foolish Felix's 'Fist Club' which sounds like a satanic nightmare with Frank Booth on the mic.

You have been warned...

Movie Marathon

Back home from the all-day film festival. Wired & wet, but it was a pretty good day of celluloid.

The session included the following pieces of dirt in order:

Take An Easy Ride (complete with De Wolfe soundtrack that I should be including on a forthcoming comp of sexploitation scores)

The Brute - Julian 'Scaroth' Glover and Sarah 'Ursa' Douglas (the ultimate 70s posh bird) in forgotten 'wife-beater' melodrama

Death Weekend - the only movie that I hadn't seen before today and what a corker. Pure anarchy. Yet another De Wolfe ost I didn't know existed and using some cues from both 'Dawn of the Dead' & 'The Bastard Swordsman'...

Satan's Slave - Always a pleasure to see Norman J. Warren again and this beautiful 35mm print was uncut and included the harrowing sexually perverse naughty scenes produced purely for the 'Asian' market. Rough ost that will be forthcoming on Moscovitch...

Equinox - U.S. psychotronica par excellence. it's all about the 'Mountain' VHS though

Time for bed. Off to Berlin tomorrow (today) for a long awaited studio appointment with Rekid

Day of the Dead

On Saturday I'll be attending this all-day event of back to back movie madness with a bunch of other weirdos like my man lovely Jon (Jigoku), one half of Churchill's Leopard's Jon Burnip and Colin of Movie Grooves fame. There will be many other freaks in the house and I'm sure most will be especially excited to meet the master of British 70s horror, director Norman J. Warren, who will be signing copies of the latest Moscovitch release 'Terror/Prey' (see previous post) on cd AND ltd. edition LP. There will also be a screening on celluloid NOT a dvd projection, of his infamous gothic work 'Satan's Slave', the soundtrack of which is also forthcoming on Moscovitch next year alongside other John Scott compositions...

Right, I thought it was about time to get this baby on the road...

Please bear with me as the content will fluctuate in volume depending on how much time I have etc etc

First up is the brand new (and really the first official 'Moscovitch' album project - Norman J. Warren's 'Terror' & 'Prey' soundtracks (both unissued until now) and both composed and performed by the sadly deceased Ivor Slaney.
