More Info
Directed in 1979 by Joe D'Amato, it still impresses with the rawness and
morbidity of its scenes, the trademark of a director who, much more than others,
befts the term 'extreme'. The soundtrack , whose main instruments are
keyboards and synthesizer, echoes the Alan Parsons Project, funk / fusion and a
melancholic atmosphere. It was never ofcially released with the flm, and was
fnally released on CD by Cinevox Record in 1997 (CD MDF 304) and again in
2008 (CD MDF 631) with two completely different tracklists. Goblin here appear in
an unusual combination, with Massimo Morante (guitar) with Claudio Simonetti
(keyboards) replaced by Carlo Pennisi and Maurizio Guarini respectively,
completing the line- up was Fabio Pignatelli (bass) and Augustin Marangolo
(drums). "Buio Omega" is released on vinyl today for the frst time ever, a release
waited for years by Goblin fans; the LP is housed in a beautiful gatefold cover
showing inside recording sessions photos and promotional fyers/postcards. The
tracklist is the same as the frst 1997 CD edition. 180gr. clear purple Ltd. Ed. vinyl
edition.
