Brand New, Sealed Vinyl LP UPC: 8271705132804 Label: We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records Release Date: 7/24/2015 Genre: Soundtrack, Film Score Artist: Various Artists

You do not have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre!" The soundtrack for

cult slasher movie Pieces (1982) is now available for the first time ever on vinyl. A

plot filled with so many holes it's impossible to follow, chainsaws cutting heads left

and right, downright terrible acting, hilariously absurd scenes, and a brilliant

soundtrack - Pieces is exactly what you think it is: one of the best movies ever

made! Praised by the likes of Eli Roth (Hostel (2005), Inglourious Basterds

(2009), Grindhouse (2007)...), this rare slasher has become a fan-favorite over the

years and can be seen in horror movie festivals around the globe. It's original score

is surprisingly elegant, full of eerie jazz, menacing synths, and soulful escapades -

a well-balanced mix finding it's influences in giallo and blaxploitation soundtracks

of the '70s and classic horror movie music of the '80s. This limited vinyl edition

includes numerous songs by Italian composer Stelvio Cipriani, the man behind

the superb soundtrack of poliziottesco movie La Polizia Sta a Guardare (1973)

(the main theme of which was reborn in 2007 in Quentin Tarantino's Death

Proof), multiple scores for Spaghetti Western movies starring Tony Anthony,

and winner of a Nastro d'Argento award for best score for The Anonymous

Venetian (1970). Also found on Pieces are compositions by Carlo Maria

Cordio, who scored Joe D'Amato's gorefest Absurd (1981) (which some might

know as Anthropophagus 2, Monster Hunter, Horrible, or The Grim Reaper 2), a

movie so shockingly violent it became one of the "Video Nasties" of the UK and

was successfully prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Acts in 1984. Lucio

Fulci's frequent collaborator Fabio Frizzi (responsible for the music of classic

horror movies Zombie aka Zombi 2 (1979), L'Aldilà aka The Beyond (1981), City

of the Living Dead aka The Gates of Hell (1980), and the list goes on) also makes

a special appearance with the sexy "Cocktail Molotov." Also included on the

soundtrack are tracks by Stephen Ham & Alain Leroux and Enrico

Pieranunzi & Silvano Chimenti, and, as a bonus, an audio recording of

Pieces' original movie trailer!
