From Amazon.com
Gene Moore's soundtrack to this 1962 cult classic begins like a picnic at a monster-truck rally; an engine revs into the red, and a scream is cut off by a limb-rending crash. But this is only the prelude to a festival in purgatory as a church organist is plagued by sinister visions and a stalker in corpse paint. Moore's organ score runs the gamut of carefree filler to a hygiene film ("Travel Music") to gripping, spooky colors and tones. Luckily, this second category makes up most of the disc, combining an unstable innocence--akin to Fats Waller's pipe-organ compositions in Eraserhead--with an unholy fun-house menace. This release also contains dialogue samples and score material that didn't make the final print, including the lo-fi twist of "Carnival Rock." Truly odd. --Michael Woodring

Album Description
This album is an amazing journey through a myriad of dark musical styles, truly leaving the listener breathless. This CD is the epitome of Gothic fetish, all wrapped up in a quality Gothic erotic passage just dripping with atmosphere generated by this great assembly of bands.

Most helpful customer reviews   Good, that's all I can say, Jun 15 2004 By A Customer "Carnival of Souls" (the 1962 version, not the rip-off 1998 Wes Craven re-make) was a great little movie, considering the budget and the people who made it: Herk Harvey and John Clifford, two nice and friendly filmmakers from an educational and industrial film production company called Centron in Lawrence, Kansas. I don't know if it's the movie or the soundtrack that is better, but this soundtrack certainly is not better in sound quality. Some of the music comes through pretty good, but tracks such as "Hot Bath" and "Second Departure" are very quiet, and fortunately the spooky and eerie organ music is not too bad in sound quality. Some may consider "Travel Music" a good break from the spooky music, and the small jazz combo on the two "At the Bar" numbers sounds pretty good. Then there are the songs not used in the movie at all, which are okay, except for the annoying "Psycho Carnival Organ." And I can see why there just wasn't any place in the film for "Carnival Rock."

(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) - See all my reviews This could have been a great soundtrack!!!However,someone decided to go low tech all the way, by either holding a microphone next to a television speaker or using a Fisher Price recording system??? There is some really spooky stuff on here but the recording technique is even more scarier... Was this review helpful to you?
