Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies on the cardboard insert. Experimental, Electronic, Noise, Power Electronics; Vinyl LP - Ex Used condition
This is pre-Burmuda Drain Prurient and hence it's pretty fucking gristly throughout, ranging from excoriating noise blasts ('People Dressed In Disguises') to dank ceramic drones ('People Wear Masks'), and wretched violence ('Severed Penises Beaten Against Her Statue'). "Dedicated to Attis who felt compelled to castrate himself."

When Cold Cave embarked on their first UK tour in 2009 one of the most sought after pieces of merchandise was an exclusive split release with Prurient limited to just 100 copies on Cassette. Hospital Productions have mercifully pressed up the tracks from the tape - plus one additional cut exclusive to this LP to satisfy the vinyl vulture's appetite. In stark comparison to the glam-electro melancholy of 'Love Comes Close', this is a collection of incredible bleak and isolated dark ambience, almost entirely beat-less (except for one short passage laced with doomy kicks) where vocals are noticeably absent too, save a shadowy undertone of malnourished groans and gloomy exhortations. The mood is oppressively dystopian and depressed, which should be taken as a warning to anyone on the brink of it!

Lucio Fulci, Giallo, Horror, Supernatural, New York, Italian, Cult, Uncut, Widescreen; DVD - Ex Used condition
Manhattan Baby is Fulci's dive into beautiful imagery. There's some scenes in this one that are genuinely breathtaking.
A medallion from an archaeological dig leaves a man blind. And a family falls into jeopardy after their son disappears into thin air, and their daughter is possessed by an ancient demon. If the budget hadn't been cut for the film, I would imagine that this would be Fulci's most memorable film. People would think 'Manhattan Baby' instead of 'Zombie' when they heard the name Lucio Fulci. Most horror fans haven't seen this one. It's true that MB isn't a film that succumbs to everyone's tastes. This is simply because in most Italian films, it's usually style over substance, which in some cases can leave an unseasoned viewer in total awe at the apparent inept plot line before them. In the case of Italian films, the viewer generally has to pay very close attention to the whole film. Certain plot definers aren't given 'camera-attention' at crucial times at any given time through any given film. In American films, the camera tells the story. The same can be said for Italian cinema, but a lot of times, it's much more subtle in its delivery and can leave one feeling incomplete until they eventually see it again.
Horror, Special Edition, Gore, George Romero, Sequel, 80's; 2xDVD set - Ex Used condition
Return Of the Living Dead is definitely in the running for best zombie film of all time. Dan O'Bannon brings a ton of wit and humor to the Romero-style zombie film, but it still works on a completely earnest, genuine horror level as well. In Return, the original Night Of the Living Dead film was based on a true story, and a pair of night shift employees at a medical supply warehouse have a couple of the zombie corpses in barrelled up in the basement. Of course, they wind up setting them loose, as well as reanimating all the bodies in a nearby cemetery where a gang of punk rockers - including Linnea Quigley in the role of a lifetime - are partying down. This is just one of those situations where everything clicks. It's got a great cast, diverse cast headed by Clu Gulager which clearly benefited from an extended period of rehearsal before filming. Of course there's O'Bannon's clever writing, and thankfully this is one of his films where he really had the budget to see his vision all the way through. It's got a great 80s rock soundtrack and top of the line special effects. It's a blast.

"the ensemble playing here veers from frenetic ecstasy, like a super-charged soft machine, to mournful synth-dressed marches which recall mid 70s giants of progressive searching like hatfield of the north and that other wyatt project matching mole. the guitar/synth/bass/drum set up nails each piece to the floor with retro stylings that also point to a future which can only be imagined whilst at the heights of humanist thinking."
