Its a genre defying piece of work that blurs jazz, prog and metal with startling results.
Its not as consistent as much of their output, but still is a score with plenty of highlights.
Suspiria
This is, without doubt, the finest showcase of Goblins talents.
The score is only part of the unsettling effect of the film.
I would regard this score as one of the finest showcases for the effective build of suspense.
At times the level of suspense reached here is almost unbearable.
Its a hugely effective opening piece that adds an air of uncertainty to set up the film.
Prime examples of these areSaratozomandLa Caccia.
Tenebrae (Unsane)
Again, this isnt widely regarded as an official Goblin release.
The band split prior to the film being made, but Argento still wanted them to score his movie.
Phenomena (Creepers)
This score saw Goblin collaborate with composer Simon Boswell for some of his earliest work.
In fact, this is all a bit predictable by their standards.
Thats not to say that it doesnt serve the material well, because it really does.
It just lacks the standalone appeal that much of their earlier work had.
