Another October week is in the books, so it's time to celebrate with another Freebie Friday!
This week's offering is another one picked up on a whim, based solely on the insanely cool cover art! 1989's Music For Your Nightmare by Steven Schramm and Jonas Kvarnstrom is a cool and unique release containing six different synth-based "horror soundtrack" tracks with just enough Halloween spooky sounds elements to keep it creepy and fun. (On a sidetone, this was put out by Total Records, the same label that also gifted the world with Halloween Sound Effects - Music And Effects Of A Terrifying Nature.)
With track titles like "Torture Chamber," "Funeral Procession" and "Dungeon Of Doom," you'd think you would be in for some screams, clanks, howls, and moans. But this is definitely a high-quality, well-composed production, making it much more than just another cheap "spooky sounds" release. Each track feels like the soundtrack to a different horror film, with the standout being "Dungeon Of Doom." The last track reals nails the uneasy, creepy vibe.
They have definitely managed to balance the intensity of traditional horror film scores, the campy fun of Halloween spooky sounds, and just a bit of cheesy, over-the-top 80's synthesizer notes on this release. It was a pleasant surprise and makes for a great and somewhat unique addition to the October collection.
