Written with the idea of creating an alternate soundtrack to Bava's tale of astronauts investigating a desolate planet, Alexander has managed to perfectly capture the darkness and mood of the film over the course of this 33 minute disc. The bleak oppression of space, the mystery of the unknown, the fear of isolation, it's all here, set down in deep drones and found sounds that lead the imagination into some pretty dark and dreary corners. Regardless of whether or not you've seen the film, "Planet of the Vampires" is a soundtrack that would be very appreciated by fans of the dark ambient genre. rik maclean - torment@corpusnet.com Send an e-mail to pingthings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to hear about all the latest releases on sale at PiNG THiNGS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . * Also of interest to EM & laptop fans next Friday, February 21st "WABI 0221" @ the El Mocambo, 464 Spadina Ave., Toronto $12 advance at Rotate This, Odyssey, Alter Ego & Penguin or at the door before 11 PM - $16 after - 19+ wabi's 4th anniversary and release party for a new compilation CD featuring tracks from many artists who have played at wabi events over the years - featuring live tag-team sets by: POLMO POLPO VS.
