sadly, the info is a little scant on this, but a little something for your Hallowe’en party hijinks, this be the ‘Halloween pussy trap kill kill’ (OST). A double disc 24 strong gathering of freakish folk populating the grooves with all manner of industrial electronisch and various wayward loveliness, the obvious lure here being the featuring of Ministry’s ‘every day is Halloween’ – a coolly coalescing retro sounding 80’s echo that appears to free fall into the kind of terrains once voyaged by Front 242 had they of course been locked in a studio with Arthur Baker on the dials. For us, you can’t go wrong with the wilfully erratic and delightfully discordant ‘Motion Picture Dream Boy’ by Descartes A Kant who on the evidence of this freakishly twisted nugget might in time be our favourite obsession for this honey seesaws between moments of lilting vintage bubble gum pop and ravenous teeth bared frenetic fury. Equally bidding for affection, Bestial Mouths’ darkly seductive ‘grayed’ is possessed of all the tropes and trappings as to suggest it be the discarded love child of an SPK, Xmal Deutschland and Noblesse Oblige tryst. Somewhere else there’s the uber cooling supernaturalia of Alan Davey’s ‘coming up (eyes open)’ arriving immersed and chilled in the kind of vintage seasoning that imagines the Villa9 studios folk re-scoring classic Fulci horrors. It’s not all shock n’ terror and weird manifestations lurking in the shadows, stray over to Doug Kershaw’s ‘this is the strangest love I’ve ever seen’ for a tasting of finely matured prairie lolloping, in truth alone worth the entrance fee. https://cleopatrarecords.bandcamp.com/album/halloween-pussy-trap-kill-kill-original-motion-picture-soundtrack
