SUSAN JUSTIN Forbidden World OST LP
__________________________________________________________(Death Waltz)
*** This is a new and unplayed item, direct from the CRUCIAL BLAST shop. ***
DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Another one of the more obscure horror soundtracks unearthed by the boutique UK soundtrack reissue label Death Waltz, Susan Justin's quirky score to 1982's Forbidden World is also among my favorites, not just because I'm a huge fan of this particular alien gore flick, but because Justin's New Wave-tinged score is one of the most unusual horror soundtracks of the era.
One of the craziest of all of the Alien rip-offs that oozed across movie screens in the early 80s, the Roger Corman-produced Forbidden World is a minor classic of b-grade sci-fi splatter, mashing together recycled special effects and film sets from other Corman productions like Galaxy Of Terror and Battle Beyond The Stars while throwing in copious amounts of slimy alien action, over-the-top gore, and gratuitous lesbian sex. It's a perennial favorite around the C-Blast bunker, set to a memorable electronic score courtesy of Susan Justin, a classically trained pianist who was also a member of the arty New Wave band Pink Plastic. Blending together breathy, heavily echoplexed vocal sounds, schmaltzy clavinet melodies with a heavy late 70s vibe, a stripped down drum sound that generally centers around an almost krautrock-like mesmerism, and lots of spooky, "futuristic" electronic sounds and effects, Justin's work here has a really unique feel, from the infectious, ominous motorik pulse and strange New Wavey melody of "Theme From Forbidden World" and the minimal synth swells that softly pulse across the opening credits, to passages of minimal low pulsing notes and eerie quavering Theremins that drift against the vast emptiness of space. Like the majority of horror scores from the early 80s, there's a bit of a Carpenter influence on some of these synthesizer arrangements, but Justin also incorporates gorgeously mournful piano motifs. Creepy atonal noisescapes that evoke scenes of bleak alien landscapes and seething biological horrors make up a large portion of the score as well, and Justin also delves into wonderfully kosmische territory on several tracks, and her oddball synth arrangements can slip into wonderfully quirky bits of sci-fi funk. Elsewhere, Justin uses the deep cosmic blast of the "Blaster Beam", a massive stringed instrument used to generate incredibly deep droning metallic resonances that was used on a number of 70s era science fiction films, along with sudden, shocking blasts of noise to create a disturbing atmosphere that dominates the latter portion of the score.
Phenomenal presentation as always from Death Waltz, pressed on cloudy clear heavyweight 180 gram vinyl and housed in a bulky oversized casebound jacket, and includes a large foldout poster version of Kimberley Holladay's beautifully vile splooge-drenched cover art along with an insert with liner notes from Holladay, Forbidden director (and Justin's husband) Allan Holzman, and Justin herself. © CRUCIAL BLAST
