It was very European and pretty disturbing. Was happy to see Criterion issue the disc. Finally scored a nice copy of this soundtrack at a fair price. It’s an appealingly tense blend of Euro jazz/funk cues (most a minute or less) that wouldn’t sound out of place on a contemporary giallo. Goraguer (born 1931 in a suburb of Paris) also did a crime jazz EP I’m trying to find for less than mortgage payment rates.</p></span><p></p>

If you like their later records, you’ll probably dig this one. I do. Some strong riffs and catchy arrangements; high energy music. Of the original Norwegian black metal bands, Immortal seemed to have run with the Bathory sound more than most, and this is on the same path. The fine pre-Immortal death metal act Amputation appears in my upcoming <i>DemoLition</i> book, as does Old Funeral, which featured Eikemo and other future Immortal members (along with Varg Vikernes).</p></span><p></p>

I used to have that one, but glad I kept this version, as it seems to have a punchier mix. Of course, these were outtakes from The Id LP, masterminded by the late, great Jerry Cole, that were put together without his knowledge. LOTS of records were mined out of those sessions, across several labels. I once planned on putting together a website that connected them all, but hey, life is short.

Sullivan (born James Tomkins in 1941) was an in-demand session guitarist, played the first recorded fuzz guitar in Britain, and appeared on records by Dusty Springfield, Bowie, Small Faces, and hundreds of others. He died in 2012. By the way, “Little Jimmy” was fellow session guitarist Jimmy Page.</p></span><p></p>
