"An astonishing, peerless masterpiece, the soundtrack to David Lynch's debut labor of love creates a world of haunting mechanics and sexual distress in such a bizarre layer of sonic fog that any record collection is simply poorer without it. The enormity of the aural experimentation is extraordinary. With renowned sound designer Alan Splet, Lynch developed any technique he could conjure up -- from recording with pieces of glass tubing, pneumatic engines, or water-based pieces of machinery -- to produce sounds never heard before (or since) in any medium. Pieces of Fats Waller filter in through the unsettling haze. The sounds of the unimaginably horrific baby are nothing less than ghastly. Few directors could have realized such a potent vision only a first time out. Disturbing, haunting, and -- decades later -- still one of the most compelling sonic creations in the history of film."

i know this movie for years, but only when i went to the cinema to watch it (1 year ago) i could understand what an amazing piece this soundtrack is.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SHARE!
hi, juju!
tried to drop you a quick hello for some days now, but it seems like my old pc don't like your picture gadget on the sidebar - your blog takes ages to load, it tries to plug-in me, and until now it always freezed to death.
well - obama is in the house, maybe that explains why i got through! ;)
cheers, lucky
ps: started yet another blog. follow my profile if you're interested.
thank you!
Amazing that this was recorded 1976. A reference album in industrial music ca 1977 that should be mentionned more often.
Though I still consider industrial music to have started in the 18th. century. But this might be a personal point of view.
Stefan Godemiché: Glad you liked this. With a name like that, you're bound to enjoy the record.
LN: You're Welcome
Continuo: I didn't know this was recorded in 1976. Certainly the Industrial Revolution did not wait till '77 to encompass the production and absorption of sound, so I'd agree with your point.
Lucky: Nice to hear from you, after such a long time. I suspected that you wouldn't resist the blogging call for long. Linked you here, of course. I reduced the number of posts per page; please tell me if that makes Juju any faster.
Cheers to all, and please pay your taxes.
bravo, sorry to say, but for me it's as slow as before. i suspect it's not caused by the amount of posts (or the huge lists of back posts), but it's certainly the slideshow. maybe s'things wrong with my javascript? is it possible? well, never mind - and merci beaucoup for the link back to my anesthetic blog. ;)
