Now this a jolly fine playlist for a rather dark autumn evening. I'm off to make a scary mask so I can listen to this appropriately.

Children Of The Stones and The Stone Tape are the most frightening things that have ever been on television ever.

The soundtrack from The Wicker Man features heavily on my daily walk playlist. It'd make a great stage show with instruments, soloists, a chorus, and dancers, but it'd need a pretty specific audience. Oh, well, a weirdo impresario can dream.

I am listening to this right now and it is making the grading I am doing feel really dire and of great importance. It also makes me want to dress up as Lord Summerisle when I have to teach on Halloween. If only I didn't hate turtlenecks...

Tesseractive, you could always skip the turtleneck if you choose to wear grandma's chiffon dress and a Cher wig.

I miss Trish Keenan like it's my job.

speaking of cool Brit soundtrack work, here's something new/old that just popped up on locaL radio -- that is, new work doing a very good impression of older stylings. Or maybe there really was a movie called Sendo Senshi ...

Apparently Hammer used some pretty talented avant garde classical composers for some of it's soundtracks, for instance Malcolm Williamson
